Well, as someone who has taken the year off from writing fanfiction I did try and do my part by sending most of the old stories I had left on my hard drive in so that I would still be represented this year.
Like others I'm not sure if its a problem of writers not sending there stories in, or there is just fewer stories being posted. It does seem that there has been fewer ongoing stories being concurrently posted in recent months.
Personally, I don't think there needs to be a radical change in the way things are done. I think an occasional reminder thread like this one should be enough. If Labby posts such a reminder every few months I think those who are posting their stories on the mbs will get the message.
Tank (who wishes to point out that having his stories on the archives allowed him to retrieve most of his stories when a hard drive crash wiped out his entire cache of fanfiction)
