As for the nagging email... What about that message I got from you back in December, explaining that the index crew had turned up a bunch of old stories which had never been archived, and would I care to submit a copy of mine?
Ah, that was a one off. The Index Crew had sent me a list of stories they had noted on their records. The point of that one was that they were stories which had only been posted on Zoomway's old mbs, many years before. Zoomway had closed down those mbs, so the stories were no longer available anywhere. The Index Crew felt that perhaps authors would like the opportunity to submit them to the Archive - if they still had a copy - so that they wouldn't be lost entirely.
So in that case it wasn't a case of nagging authors to submit stories they hadn't submitted. But to offer authors somewhere to host the stories that had been lost, if they wanted/needed one.
