SMAC Fiction in the Apolyton Directory?

[MarkG]

added!
congrats the first story in the smac directory is yours

[Kassiopeia]

I am not worthy...

Btw, are there comment threads anywhere for the official stories, I mean, what should we use as "related threads" for them?
The stories themselves are here

http://www.firaxis.com/smac/story.cfm

Should we use this as the url?

[Mr. President]

Can I submit mine? First and only non-multi-author story I've written so far.

Category: Drama

Title: Ballad of a Usurper

URL: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=26986

Author: Mr. President

Description: Sator Hunnaro thought he was ordinary as Progenitors went, until the day the Succession War turned the galaxy upside-down. He relates the chaos of the Progenitor civil war and the struggle of the Usurpers on Planet.

then to the subcategory that you want
and then click on "add a link"

Sorry about that. OK, I submitted Ballad of a Usurper's link properly now, I think.

[MarkG]

approved

[Alinestra Covelia]

I've done my best to put Joe up there as well.

[Kassiopeia]

Hmmm. I hope everyone understands that "by kassiopeia" does not necessarily mean the author but the submitter of the link... as much as I'd like to take the credit, Nemesis is frankychan's handiwork, not mine.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Can that be changed? I think MarkG would be the best person to change that, because it does look a bit misleading, as though you wrote the story (no offence to you - you didn't intend it that way, I know!).

Either way, we ought to change it. It's just a question of finding out who has the clearance to do so.

[History Guy]

I'd have sent in the Cha Dawn one I did somewhere back there...if it weren't so darn bad!

[History Guy]

Well, I added it anyway. Hope it's OK.

You are right... in the Photos section, most of them are submitted by Rasbelin although he obviously didn't take them. It should read "link by", now it implies "stuff behind the link by". That, or from now on we also add the author's name to the description.

It's just that there's some rather old stuff out there that would be good to be added, but the chances of contacting the authors and having them add the links themselves is astronomical. I did ask frankychan before adding his story, btw.

These short stories are rather old now, and they have long since disappeared in the Fiction threads, but they may be new to those of you who joined Apolyton after 2000. Re-reading them I’d like to do a bit (or a lot) of word-smithing, but perhaps it is better to leave them unmodified. Another short story Bright Beginnings is already posted under Tales. The rest will be (mercifully) buried by the depths of time.

eeeer Hydro
quoting myself from above

not sure if it was clear, but you subimt a entry in the "add a link" page in the directory

go to http://apolyton.net/dir/index.php?cat=108&t=sub_pages
then to the subcategory that you want
and then click on "add a link"

but first as i see that you dont have an account in the directory...

Editing your Forum profile (http://apolyton.net/forums/member.ph...on=editprofile) will make a "twin" account on the Directory system

so update your profile first, then add the entries from the "add a link" page in the directory

thanks!
