Over the past couple of months, I've found myself hearing a lot from authors saying, "Here's a story for the Archive that I forgot all about and just found on my hd". Or someone on irc mentions they have a story to submit to me and three others say, "Oh, me too! I forgot!"

So, in honour of forgetful authors everywhere , I've decided to take a leaf out of Maria's book and periodically post a list of stories posted here on the mbs which have never made it to the Archive.

It is of course not at all compulsary that stories posted on the mbs have to be submitted to the Archive and I'd never try to persuade an author who didn't, for whatever reason, want to submit a story. That's entirely their choice.

This list is intended as a gentle reminder, not for them, but for those who do want to submit their stories but have simply forgotten to do so.

Thanks to the Lurker for providing the list. You're a star!

Some of these might not have made it because they're just recently posted - so if it's a case of you haven't had time yet to get a final version together, just ignore this entirely. I tried to delete the ones I recognised, but I'm bound to have missed one or two. Same goes for any errors in the list where a story is on the Archive already. <G>

Looking forward to seeing some of these in my mailbox shortly. I know your fans on the Archive will be happy to see them.

>>>Battle of the Network Printers

Um, I'm not sure this one actually qualifies, seeing as how it features neither Lois nor Clark...

Frankly, I was a little dubious about even posting it here <g>

I think you've forgotten "Better Out than In" By Yvonne and Wendy

I'm wrong?

Jose

Awwwwwww, Pam, but it has Lex(mark).

Jose, I'm sticking to stories posted on these mbs - the others went back way too far; I had to have a cutoff point somewhere.

But if anyone wants to submit a story posted to Zoomway's mbs in the past and haven't already done so - they'll be very welcome!

LabRat

I recognize a couple of my stories in this list...

I intend to submit them, but I'm just so busy right now. Good to see there is people who want to see them in there though

>>>There is Some One Money Can't Buy<<<

Umm. Oops :rolleyes:

Now, it really did get lost on my hd, along with At the Beginning Thanks for the reminder, Rat

Sara [running off to resurrect those files ]

---Blown Away

I keep meaning to do it, but keep forgetting to do it. I was even thinking about it about 5 minutes before I found the post. I promise to look it over and send it in very soon...

Yvonne and Wendy, why isn't Better Out Than In on the Archive?

Nan

Hi Nan - the short answer is that Yvonne and I had thought about doing some rewriting after it was posted on the other boards. We haven't so far got around to that and I'm not really sure whether we will - other stories kind of got in the way. Sometimes a story might just not be worth resurrecting.


Wendy

Thanks for the responses, everyone! Looking forward to receiving those stories.

LabRat

Been there, still doing that!

I don't know about others, but I thought the story was definitely worth it.

Nan

It's better *in* the archive than out!

PS. I love it. Remember how much discussion we had about it.

Hi,

Just curious.

Is this story finish?

"Power Struggle" by Samik

I didn't find it and the writer never answer.

MAF

It isn't, Maria. I've been waiting for it too.

AnnaBtG.

Hey!

I know, I know. I said I'd send Nothing... I will, promised. RL is a pain lately, but I'll try to get it ready before Monday. That good enough?

Cris

Whenever you send it, we'll welcome it, Cristina.

LabRat

I hope you can send me something else too... :p

Jose (/ducking...)
