By "Short Story Index", I meant the page of links and short 'blurbs' for the current month's short stories. ("Loose Contact" is now included.)
The "Author Index" is the theoretically-date-independent route to all the pieces (short or longer stories, poems, or features) by a particular author. Unfortunately, it wasn't updated for a long time (more than four years, at this point), and required months of effort to rebuild. It still needs some thought and effort by the Webmaven (hallowed be his name) to bring it online.
In the meantime, IF your piece appeared in an issue listed under the "Back Issues" index, you can use the search function on the "Back Issues" page (hit the "Archives" button, then click on the "Index of Back Issues" link to get there) to search by Author name (try "by FirstName LastName" as the search parameter) to list the issues in which that author's name appeared. Selecting one of those issues brings up the Editorial for that issue; scroll down to the appropriate section ("Serials", "Short Stories", "Poetry", etc.) to find the link to the piece itself.
If your piece appeared in an issue not yet in the "Back Issues" list, try good old Google or your favorite search engine with search terms "Aphelion" and the author's name...
