I've had some trouble loading finestories for the last month or so. When I go to the link bottom left of the main page, I get this
"The page isn't redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to finestories.com.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
Yet I don't seem to have the issue with here or scifistories. It's most likely me being an idiot, but just on the off-chance...
but just on the off-chance...
From doing a right click and open in new tab on both SOL and scifi stories ...
This page isn't working
finestories.com redirected you too many times.
Jumping to finestories or to scifistories works for me, and I did exactly what you did - right click from SOL.
Either a bug has been fixed in the last few minutes or it's a browser problem, I'm using a Mozilla-based browser.
The page isn't redirecting properly
Try going to finestories.com directly once, not from the link on SOL.
finestories.com
Tried, and I received. "The page isn't redirecting properly

The header (address bar) says; "https://finestories.com/sol-secure/user/clean_up.php "
There is no difference in result between left clicking, and right clicking and right clicking on new tab, or new session. None of them works. HOWEVER, I have just tried just now, and if I right click and choose "open in a new private window" It loads....
Browser is Firefox 96.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10.
I'm thinking it might indeed be a cookie issue so I will clear it all later and have another go. Or maybe I'm banned from there... LOL... (I actually doubt that, as I don't think that I have an account).

Impossible. You don't get banned for being good.

Not that I know what I'm talking about, but perhaps World Literature Publishing would benefit from a 'clear cookies' function.

If clearing the cookies and the cache doesn't work, try accessing using the following in the URL field, and only this url
finestories.com
I've been using this exact code for accessing Finestories for ages and it's been working all along, even just now. If the above URL is not working the only problem I can think causing your issue is some sort of weird redirect happening at your ISP not handling things properly or from an old cache.

It's definitely a cookies issue, since I couldn't go there directly either. I just tossed my cookies (computer wise, anyway) and now I can go there.
Chrome with Duck Duck Go on Windows 11
Don't toss chocolate chip cookies, they are too good to get rid of.
Very good advice.
