Ah! Sumimasen, ne.

I got mixed up because I started by looking for my story
which is titled "Autumn", with no luck. Then I looked for
"Black" and "Red", with no luck. Then I did a search for
"Palmer" and got no hits. It didn't occur to me to look
for the other stories after I didn't find my last name.
<faceplant>

I now see that "Seasons" listed, (Thanks!) but not the
individual stories that make up the series : (Winter,
Spring, Summer, and  Autumn) the same it true of "Colors"
(Thanks Again!) which is (Red, Orange, Black, After Black,
Yellow, Manila, (and one day soon; Green))

Also, if I search for "Joseph Palmer" I then get the list,
but "Palmer" does not. <headscritch>

Anyway, thanks for the listing and hits!

J.

Say, how does one get one's stories listed in the
database?
   


I have to manually add them in, which I do when I have
time. :)  The Directory and Database at the moment are
a one-man operation, hence the small number of entries
in the database.

However, as your site is one I've already indexed
(meaning I've made note of the fiction hosted on your
site) the following are listed in the database:

A Conversation with Nabiki
Colors
Hot
Ninja No Himitsu
Revenge?
Seasons
Yuuki

The above list was obtained by sticking "Joseph
Palmer" into the search feature.  The search featured
is limited at this stage as I'm using a free database
site, so a search for Ranma/Sailor Moon xovers won't
throw up all the hits as the search feature looks only
at the start of a field and not all of it.  Hence
"Destiny's Child" which is an "alt XO: SaM" won't
appear in a search for "XO: SaM".

Sigh.  Hope to fix that at some point.  Anyone on the
list good with programming a database?

The info in the database runs to:
Title
Author
Catergories (alt[ernative], p01 [set before the first
volume], p38 [set after the last volume], XO [xover],
lemon, spam, revenge [certain type of spam])
Complete
Description [which none have yet bar a note to say if
the fic is a side story or sequel to another fic]

Followed by a list of links to sites that host the
said work of fiction.

If you click on a Jonathan Ford/Dark Poenix work
you'll see they are archived at at least 3 sites (some
at as many as 6)!
