This web page will automatically archive your story or story link here on the
ScullySlash Archive website and post it to ScullySlash (if you choose that option).
The archive CANNOT accept ANY fic with MINORS involving any level
of SEX. If you have any questions about this, please contact
the archivist BEFORE submitting your story.
Mailing Lists: If you'd like a specific list added here (or
if you're the listowner and you'd like your list removed), please contact the archivist.
Tips, Tricks and Formatting
Please fill out the fields that are specifically labelled as
REQUIRED. Everything else is OPTIONAL.
Formatting Tips: DO let your paragraphs be one long line with no hard returns or line
breaks (the posting interface will put in line breaks as needed). DO put a blank line between each paragraph or character's dialogue. DO put *** on a line by itself with a blank line before and after
wherever you want a divider line to appear. DON'T indent the first line of your paragraphs. DON'T use smart quotes or curly quotes, if you're using Word, turn
off the auto-formatting option. DO save your story as plain text. If you're using a word processor
like Word, look for text/MS-DOS format without line breaks.
There's more useful info about formatting your story in the
Posting FAQ.
If you're using the browser within the AOL
software, it may not work properly. I don't know why, just
that AOL's browser is wonky and so is Opera 6. I recommend Internet
Explorer, Netscape 4, Netscape 6+ or Mozilla 1+, I've tested it in those
browsers. Links to download them can be found at the Web Standards Project
Please note that only text files can be posted to mailing lists and
this archive will only accept .txt files. Please make sure you
save the file as plain MS-DOS text. When using WordPad, choose
the MS-DOS text file type. When using Microsoft Word, save as Text-Only,
DON'T choose the text-only with line breaks. If using Notepad, don't hit
Enter in the middle of your paragraphs, let them be one long line, then
turn on Word Wrap in the Edit menu. For other word processing programs,
look for the plainest plain text file type when saving.
For text input entries like title and author name, make sure that
you capitalize the information exactly as you wish it to appear.
Please do not include special characters (exclamation points, question
marks, ampersands, etc.) in author names. For security purposes, these
characters cannot be accepted.
Please double-check all the information you have included before
submitting!
You may archive your story file here
at the archive ORarchive a link to your
story at your website, please CHOOSE ONLY ONE OPTION,
either archive a file OR a link, not both.
Hotmail users please read!
Currently Hotmail is not accepting emails from the posting interface. If
you're selecting "Yes" to have the story emailed to you, please enter a different
email address in the Email box, your ISP address, a Yahoo mail address, or
another free email provider (Fastmail
is a good one). Then when you're ready to archive it and post it to lists,
enter your Hotmail address in the Email box. Our apologies for the inconvenience,
but this is beyond our control and it appears to affect all servers using the
Automated Archive (this problem is occuring with archives on the Squidge server
as well).
ALERT
It looks like your browser can't handle file uploads. To double-check, look
below and see whether there's a Browse... button in the
File to upload field. If it's there, great, you can do uploads. If
not, that means that you can't use this to archive your story or to post
it to ScullySlash.
However, you can still use the posting interface to post the template
(the part 0) to the list. Then you'll just have to post your story to the
list yourself. The archivists will use the template to archive
your story if you would like it archived, it will just take a little
longer.
