SHADO Librarian IAC Chair Offline UFO Rocks Posts: 222 Location: Washington (not DC) Getting Your Stories into the SHADO Library Mar 24th, 2017 at 2:37pm The most effective way to get your finished story into the SHADO Library is to use the upload form. The preferred format is Rich Text Format (.rtf) If your finished story is already in your own site you can PM the SHADO Librarian with a direct link to that story for inclusion in the Library List. It then becomes your responsibility to inform the Librarian of any changes to the link or changes in other pertinent information. If your finished story is already hosted in another archive (such as fanfiction.net or archiveofourown.org) you can PM the SHADO Librarian with a direct link to the story. Again, it is your responsibility to inform the Librarian of any changes to the link or changes in other pertinent information. If you want the story to be uploaded to the SHADO Library instead of just linked to, you must give explicit permission for your story to be copied from the other archive and reformatted for the SHADO Library. Posting a link in this forum (or in some cases just a title to something somewhere) with a comment to the effect of 'get this in the Library NOW dammit' is not sending a PM with a direct link. > The time frame for uploading submitted stories into the Library varies and is dependent on how many stories are in the queue and exactly how busy the Librarian is. If you have submitted a story or link via the proper channels (PM or upload form) and you have not heard back on it or you don't see it in the Library within two weeks of submission, feel free to contact the Librarian to make sure it was received.
