The archive is now open!

[sprat.livejournal.com]

Okay all you crazy overacheivers lovely organized souls who've actually finished writing early: you may now be posting your stories!

The archive is open (for uploading only) over here. Please make sure you have done all the revising you need to do before you post! Stories are not available for edit once they have been uploaded (although if you accidentally hit post when you meant to cancel and now your shopping list is up on the archive instead of your story or something like that...you should email maintainer@crocolanthus.com. All is not lost. *g*).

Please remember that you MUST upload a story file directly to the archive if it is for the current challenge. I've left the option to link to a story on your own site available, but obviously you should only use this if your authorship of it has already been revealed. :)

The file you upload has to be in plain text format, which means the filename should look something like this: myawesomestory.txt You can include some basic html tags, (< b >, < i >, < u >, among others)--the archive will convert those so the story looks like it should. But please remove < html > or < body > tags because the archive really doesn't like those. If you are not sure what all of that means, please email me. I'll be happy to talk you through it (or answer any other archive-related questions you might have).

(I'll take a stab at non-archive-related ones, too, if you really want me to--but I'll warn you that astrophysics and theoretical mathematics are not my strongest areas, so...you know. Proceed at your own risk.)

Many thanks to mondschein1, maryavatar and aerye, as well as the extremely generous folks at the Automated Archive support yahoo list, for helping me put this thing together. You guys are made of awesome. This archive wouldn't be close to functional without you. ♥ ♥
