-------------------
1) So...You wanna submit a story to the Archive?
This process is simple. What I need from you are these things:
1) The story.
2) A brief info bit.
TITLE
Valid E-MAIL
Doctor(s) or Character(s)
For Example..
"The Fourth Estate"
antiwes@caravan.nomad.net
First Doctor.
or
"The Generational Gap"
antiwes@caravan.nomad.net
Doctors #2 and 5.
This way,I'll know where to put it.
Then...put it all in an e-mail to me.
(please don't post it on the newsgroup unless you want to advertise it as well..)
--------------------
2) So you wanna submit a URL to link on the Archive?
This works about the same. (Except it saves me space.)
If you already have the story on a web page of your own..
Send me the URL. The format is nearly the same.
TITLE
VALID E-MAIL
Main Doctor(s) or Character(s)
URL
For Example:
"The Generational Gap"
antiwes@caravan.nomad.net
Doctors #2 and 5.
http://caravan.nomad.net/~antiwes/fanfics/index.html
Then...put it all in an e-mail to me.
(please don't post it on the newsgroup unless you want to advertise it as well..)
------------------------
3) So you wanna submit a URL for the Author's Page on the Archive?
Real Easy.
Send me this:
Name.
VALID E-MAIL
Your URL
Presto! That's all I need.
----------------------
4) What if I don't wanna have it on the Archive?
Good question.
If you don't want to have it on the Archive,it won't be there.
My news server is _not_ the world's best. I don't get every story.
I wish I did. Although it prolly has been done in the past,I won't be
trolling the newsgroup and grab every story I see. If I do do this, before
it ever sees the light of day on the Archive,you'll recieve a letter
asking for permission to do so.
In other words,it won't be there unless _you_ want it to be there.
-----------------------
5)In conclusion
This might seem a little different and maybe a little harsh than it used
to be. I'm not trying to be Captain Meanie here. I'm just organising it in
a way which _I_ can cope with. Different people have different means.
If you truly don't want your story saved for posterity,that's your
business. If you already have your story on a web page,PLEASE just send me
the URL. This saves me space here for people who might not have that
luxury. I am always open for comments,suggestions,groans and any other
things you might have. (except junk-mail. You guys go away.)

6)Final Thought.
The business with the twins behind them,The Antiwesley turned to look
at the companions on his travels. He stared them down with his steel-blue
eyes. Grinning,he muttered..
"This is the archive... whether you like it or not.."
and he then left the console room.

"Once there was true love in front of me,but I didn't
know to treasure it, now all I have is remorse;
such a thing is one of the greatest tragedies in life."
