I made a page with the submission info for the Legacy archive. It's not a very exciting page. It's here:

http://www.grapefruithead.com/ourboys/legacyfic.htm

It's mainly for sharing, for spreading the word, until we have space and a designer to build the permanent site.

I've also created the e-mail address legacyfic@rock.com for all relevant correspondance.

Also, I'm mad at Clark for the way he treated me tonight, and mad at the WB on principle.

Do what you gotta...

Okay, so, I think this is a good idea in principle. But how about a philosophical question -- shouldn't any fannish writer (or otherwise artist) be reluctant to designate a single piece as her "legacy," and choose a best or favourite work. Since after all, we should be always striving for ever greater, um, greatness. Right?

You make a good point. Perhaps we want to say that folks can submit a story, with the option to CHANGE their story down the line? This will, of course, require more archivists than just me. *g* But good idea!

See, I'd prefer that. Because right now, I know which story I'd pick as my best, but designating it as my "legacy" sounds so permanent. It sounds like I'm making a commitment to never write anything better. And that's just too depressing for words.

what you want, of course, is to set up that thing where a person can auto archive their story text and "tell us a bit about yourself" text. and then you are responsible for reviewing and making sure there's only one a piece and keeping it pretty and things.

easier said than done, as almost everything save breathing is.
