Moving completed fics to the Archive: Help Thread

[Kayi-chan]

Hello, fellow readers and writers

In this topic, you can place requests to move a completed fanfic over to the Archive.

Mods will be keeping watch of requests here

Do one shots belong in the archive?

Perhaps there should be a subsubforum for one shots? Or is that too meta?

^^
Continuing on that, what of longer fics, such as Tarnished Gold? (which I'm using as an example, because I know it's way too dark/mature to be in the Archives)

I personally believe that one-shots belong to the Archive once they become old enough. If it's over a month since it was first published, I guess everyone has seen it and it has had a nice life at the main forum, so it can pass on to be acknowledged as an Archived Fanfic.

Sooo... want to place a request?

Ah... there's a rule against R-rated adult stuff. I'll have to ask.

[Der_Neuevenmenschen]

Yes, I'd like to place a request:

I'd like for PokeTV to be Archived, because it's done and dead.

EDIT: Also, I kind of acknowledged Tarnished Gold will never be archived.

Is Tarnished Gold truly that adult? I only told you that because I was concerned of the high rating...

And OK, will do

[Der_Neuevenmenschen]

Yeah. Part two of Chapter two has a part where I vauguely describe Cynthia masturbating, and go into detail about how she makes children 'dissapear'. So, yeah, it can't be Archived.

Perhaps we should have an "Adult Archives" section for those adult-rated fics that can't go into the regular archive because of 18-to-19-ness? (That is, NC-17, but I think it's more like NC-18.)

It would make a nice place to stay out of for the little kids.

But it would only apply to my fic, dude. I've got the only NC-17-rated fic here!

Precisely this might be the reason why there's no such an Archive.

However, I don't see why the rule couldn't be expanded to include them. I mean, we allow Tarnished Gold to survive in the normal board in the first place, why not in the Archive?

Wait, does this mean there's a chance that if the fic crosses any moral lines, it could just dissapear?

Can fics still recieve fanfic noms in they are in the archive?

No because they're already over.

I don't know if we're going to force a time limit for the nominated fics (as in "must have been published between June/July and the nominations' month"). I'll suggest you to keep an eye out for all the Awards' topics

[AceTrainer14]

I am just wondering, because my story "A Lover's Tiff" finished after the last awards but before these ones, and I'd like it to be in the running for a shipping fic nomination as it hasn't recieved an award yet
