I'll do it, or at least make the attempt. It may slow down new
chapters of "Ai No Kodomo" a bit but if no one else wants the job I'll take
it. At least on terms I can handle and my account can handle.
I'd be willing to create a "fanfic in progress" page listing,
sorted by genere. in the following format:
-------------------------
Title:(link)(+file length)
Chapter listing:(if needed)(link)(+file length)
Author Name: (email link)(for comments or C&C or 'get back to work')
Description: (written by author)
Notes:(format, current version, other link/location to be found)
Last update: (taken from date I recieve mail)
--------------------------
Yay! A Sucker!... I mean volunteer! (though I would have preferred a
non-author - now everyone's going to blame me when your fanfic is taking too
long) ;)
Here's the format I was fleshing out. Feel free to change it since you're the
one doing the archive. If you decide not to do it, please tell me.
Author's Anime/Manga Fanfic Guide Suggested Format
Submission guidelines:
1. Authors get first crack at writing their own entries. After a month
or so, there may be non-author submissions for the sake of
completeness (these will be marked for identification).
2. Fanfics must be available at a permanent archive site, including
the raac archive or the fanfic remailer (other archives to be added as I
find out about them). Web pages can also be considered archives
only if it is author or fanfic series specific (no using someone else's
web page - though manga specific archive pages may be added as
above).
3. Fanfics that have been submitted but not added to an existing
archive may have entries. These will be marked and removed after
three months if it is not added to the archive.
***************
The format for a standard entry might follow the following form
(parts in [x] to be replaced with applicable information):
[Series Title(s)]
[Fanfic Title]
[Fanfic Type]
[Author Name(s)]
E-Mail: [E-Mail Address]
Web Page: [Web Page URL]
Continuity: [Continuity Level][Manga/Anime]
Status: [Status Type]
Availability: [Availability Types]
[Description]
***************
1. [Series Title(s)] - Title of the original series on which the fanfic is
based. If the fanfic is a crossover, separate titles by dashes.
[MegaXOver] More than 2 titles
[Original] No series base
2. [Fanfic Title] - Title of Fanfic or Fanfic Series. To keep the size
of the guide manageable, the author is requested to collect all short
unrelated fanfics under the title of "[author]'s One-Shots" or
something similar and use the Series format (say smaller than one of
Joseph Palmer's "seasons" for lower size limit).
3. [Fanfic Type] - Applicable fanfic designations.
[Continuation] If after end of anime/manga
[NextGen] If focus on descendents
[X-Over] If crossover between series
[Elseworlds] If alternate universe
[Darkfic/Sadfic] If written to depress readers
[Lemon] If includes descriptive sex
[Poetry] If poetry format

6. [Web Page URL] - Author or Series web page URL (optional)
7. [Continuity Level] - Level of consistency with original
[Full] Consistent with series end
[Partial] Consistent to some defined point
[None] No continuity, though most facts may be similar
[Manga/Anime] Consistent with source
8. [Fanfic Status] - Level of completion
[Complete] Finished; no further planned episodes
[On-Going] Still being written (Series only)
[Incomplete] Still being written (Non-Series only)
[Uncomplete] Unfinished, no releases within past nine months
9. [Fanfic Availability] - Archives that have the fanfic
[1] (RAAC) ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/
[2] Fanfic Remailer at ftp@ranma.net
[3a] Series Web Page
[3b] Author Web Page
[4] Other Archive (permanent)
10. [Description] - Brief description of fanfic, two to three lines at
most. Also any awards such as "Ranma Fanfic of Year". Fanfic
Series can also add one line episode descriptions for each episode
using the following format:
[Episode#]. [Episode Title][Additional Qualifiers] [#parts] -
[Description] [Author if different]
[Additional Qualifiers] - Any qualifiers for a specific episode that is
in addition to the fanfic qualifiers
[#parts] - If the episode was released in distinct parts
***************
Example:
Ranma 1/2
Magical Interludes Ranma Elseworlds Series
J. K. Hayashi E-Mail: polaris@interpac.net
Continuity: Partial Status: On-Going Availability: 12
Ranma gets sick one day and brings three alternate universe
daughters into his reality. Magic becomes a widespread phenomena
in the world. The world is thrown into partial chaos.
December's End (10 Episodes) - Ranma gets sick and tells Akane he
oves her.
A Day In The Life (3 Episodes) - A partially typical school day from
he POV of the three daughters.
I'd suggest replacing this example with your own.
Thanks
