Civ3 Stories in the Apolyton Directory?

[MarkG]

First of all, if you havent heard about the Apolyton Directory see the directory itself http://apolyton.net/dir and it's faq http://apolyton.net/forums/misc.php?action=faq&page=9

Now, would you find it helpfull to have the stories posted here archived and perhaps categorized in a special category of the Directory?

It would allow for a more organized archival, reviews/comments always separated from the stories and even votes, although i dont think anyone here would be writing in order to just get a good vote

I know we have the Stories page on the civ3 section(and i know i need to update it ) but that is and will be only for the contests

looking forward to you feedback

Great idea. I'm all for it.

[jdd2007]

all the ones who made it to the semi-finals maybe?

[MarkG]

i'm talking about all stories, regardless of the contests

[jdd2007]

even the bad ones?

[Verto]

Good idea.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

would you include uncompleted stories?could be a good incentive to the writers to complete their masterpieces.

[MarkG]

for the sake of readers i dont think uncompleted stories should be included

Damn! My story is taking forever! Time to start a new thread, I supose....

[MarkG]

so, any ideas on subcategories?

[Kramerman]

They could be organized first by date, and then under each date catagory the could be alpgebetized first by story title, and then again by the author's name. This would be relatively simple and allow for fairly quick reference and stuff for people who are looking for works by a specfic author, or who are just trying to find a specific story and know either the author or the title, but not both.

i'm talking about categorization based on the content

I see....
well, thats tough. Without thinking about it Id have some of the following catagories:

War (the most prevelant, by far)

Comedy

Love

Action

Drama (im not aware of any, but Im fairly new to this forum)

Epic

Poetry (Im not aware of any of these either, but if there are none Im sure some may be made in the future)

Other (verto is thinking of doing a story told through news paper like articles. stuff like that could go here)

[MarkG]

i havent read for some time, but we have love stories?

[Kramerman]

This is the only one I know of and Im not even sure if it is completely a love story, but thats not to say more have been written in the past or more might be written in the future. Here is a link, Im pretty sure this is the one Im thinking of.
