Hosting Compiled Story Hours

[Morrus]

You can find the Story Hour web pageright here.

A couple of people have asked me about this, and I thought it would be a good idea.

If anyone wants me to host their compiled story hour (.doc, .rtf., .pdf), I'm happy to do so. I'll put a up a web page with them all on it, so peole can download entire documents.

If you want me to do this, I'll need the following:

• A compiled/edited Story Hour in .doc, .rtf or .pdf format. Please zip it. Alternatively, you may simply include a link to the file if you wish to host it yourself.
• A 2-3 sentence intro/description
• Title
• Your username
• The link to your Story Hour here in this forum

There is one limitation - only one update per person per month. I don't want to be messsing around with 2-3 paragraph additions to 20 different story hours every day. Try to make them significant updates.

You can have your story hour removed from the archive at any time should you no longer wish me to host it.

Any questions, just shout!

Morrus - can I just supply you with the description and the address where I host it myself?

This is an excellent idea, Morrus.

You could have the Title, Username, short description and then either a link to a web page (for cases such as Nemm's) or the downloadable file (for others).

I agree, excellent idea! I have my first Story Hour (a complete piece, not to be added to) compiled into a .doc file right now, done to make sure nothing got lost due to the last board changeover. I'll be sending it to you soon... Should we just email them to you?

Oh, sweet, thanks Morrus!

Maybe I'll do a PDF and add some artwork...

Morrus,

How long are you accepting these submissions? Frankly, I won't be able to get this to you until later on in the summer...will it be too late by then?

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, a link instead of the actual file is fine. I'll still need the other info though.

Indefinitely, as long as interest remains.

Morrus, I have my Story Hour full compiled on my web page with pictures- which is how I like people reading it. Can the link be a link to an outside page, not just to a hosted .doc?

Thanks Morrus, this is a great idea. My only suggestion is that you include a copyright disclaimer of some sort on the index page to protect the writers' rights to their work (just prohibiting reselling stuff for profit, that sort of thing). I'm not sure how the rules work in the UK but here the author just has to put a little notice on their work (see the first page of my story for an example).

Mine is on the way!

Thanks Morrus!
