      I posted a story called Stargate Universe: Asteroids up a while ago, but back then I had just posted the prologue. I got a couple of comments, but the thread died before I could post any more. Now I have posted up to chapter five, and I would really like to get some more readers from GateWorld, so I was wondering if I could post it again?

      Also, in the first post you mention the GW archives. Could I please have a link to this, for I cannot find it.

      Thank you very much

          I have a question: is the fanfic uploader here at GW ever going to be fixed, or is GW done with hosting any new fics going forward?

          Part of the reason I ask is because FF.net appears to be experiencing some issues of its own once again (yes, yes, I know; when isn't FF.net having issues?) - currently, they involve email alerts, which appear to not be going out, though I know they've also had other problems in the past - and it leads me to worry that someday the entire site may just go *poof* and disappear, because it isn't being well-maintained. I host my fic on my own website as well, but I'll admit that I'd love to have another venue for making it available, as my site hasn't been getting a lot of traffic. (I'm also willing to host selected fics from other people, if anyone's interested. It might improve traffic to have more than one person's work over there.)

          Any idea on what will, or won't, occur with fanfic archiving on GW? Also, assuming that GW does continue (eventually) to accept new fics for archiving, what are the guidelines?

            I'm afraid that's up to Darren. It's up to him and greg to get it fixed. You can ask him in one of the main 'forum' threads.

            I do think one of the bigger issues we had before it 'broke' was that bad guys used it as a way to hack the site.

              Thanks for the response; I'll ask Darren, then. Sucks to think that people even used fanfic as a means to screw up GW. WTF is it with some people? /rhetorical

                I'm just going to throw a link out there, because I have to go and do work I actually get paid for and I'm running behind... but give this a read and see if you recognize any of these in your own writing or in stuff you've read. It gave me the urge to go back over my own past work, cringing in dread of what I might find there. (No, I haven't yet succumbed - er - found time yet to act on that urge. But I will.)

                  Eh. It's all in delivery and moderation. It's just more TV tropes and tropes themselves are neither goo nor bad.

                    Is the fanfic only of Stargate or can it be of other things?

                    Comment


                      Originally the idea was Stargate fic only. but people have posted fic for other shows. they either do it in the folder for that show or the off topic area.

                      The best way to do it is to post your fic on another site, like fanfiction.net, and then link back here. We're not an archive so there are character limits on posts and if hte forum crashes and you lose your fic....you lose your fic.

                      So yes, it can be other shows...but it does need to adhere to the 'keep it pg' and 'no slash' rules for the fanfic area.

                        I am new to the site.. so sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section.. But i have just recently decided i want to start a new StarGate fan fic. Hopefully as big as Horizon is i can get enough people behind the project. I have a friend that is working on some graphics for this project as soon as i tell him what is needed. I do have a general idea for a story, but i would like to get atleast 4 to 5 others writers and get a good team set up, so we can all alternate on writing episodes.

                        If anyone is interested let me know and we can begin the brain storming process. I don't want to start this until at least half a season can be planned

                          Hey, Sky, is there a way to browse the archive, or is it only searchable?

                            I think it's searchable only. don't think there's any menu pages up to browse

                            might be a question to doublec heck with Darren however.

                              Here's the rules guys:

                              PG-13 or lower fic is fine to link to.
                              R or M Rated or higher is not although you can link to an author's main page just not directly to the fic. (preferably a page that has the full content warnings so that readers know exactly what they're getting into)
                              For slash fic of all ratings you can link to the author's page, just not directly to the fic.

                              Wincest and other incest fic of any rating is forbidden.
                              Real person fic of any rating is forbidden.

                                I'm wondering what the ratings for each of my fics would be.

                                Burn It All Away is probably the worst, as it has an Aztec-like cutlure (no offense to Aztecs, but...messy).

                                Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has one instance that can be considered extreme violence. Everything else is pretty much as 'bad' as stargate got after showtime dropped it.

                                Mahood has violence, and I'm not sure if it crosses the line to R.

                                I want to label these corectly without having to warn people about EVERYTHING (Warning: mention of a banana in case people are afraid of those)
