last night, i had some time on my hands. kinda between fics at the moment, since i can't write the poll story until the poll closes and i've got no other active wips right now. a conversation on irc got me inspired to do something productive, so i decided to see if i could get this story ready for the archives.
well, i did the whole thing. wasn't too bad, really, since there isn't much editing involved. i kept the posts as-is, pretty much. removed signatures and such (in keeping with the format used for "the clark letters" and "the lex letters"), but not much else.
the part i'm stuck on is the author list.
currently, the way i have it is this:
the "cast of characters" with a listing of the 4 characters involved (alt-clark, alt-lois, wells, and andrus) with the names of the authors next to them. wells is credited as "Himself?" but for the other 3, i used whatever name was listed on the archive ("Paul-Gabriel Wiener," "Cyad," and "Alicia U," respectively).
after that, there's a list of the boards members who posted as themselves. "the clark letters" didn't include such a list, but "the lex letters" did. it seemed like a good idea to me, but i've been thinking about taking it one step further. what i have now is a list of the boards nicks of the members who posted (in order of posting), and, next to each poster who has at least one story on the archive, the name which that poster has listed on the archive (if different from the boards nick). for example, i have "HatMan AKA Paul-Gabriel Wiener" and "Tank AKA Tank Wilson."
what i want to know is if that's okay with everyone. i figured, since the archive is public, that would be okay, but i wanted to double-check. if you have a different preference, let me know -- here or privately. if it's okay, you can let me know that, too.
thanks,
Paul
p.s. hazel, i'd completely forgotten about that ficlist story. if you've still got the file, you can send it here. i'll work on it as i get the chance.
