The Veteran Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Everyone here who came over from the old XTC site will remember our dearly departed Apocalypse fanfic but since the almighty move to greener pastures and whatnot we've seen nothing of this beast of a storyline. Anyhow now that I finally get around to trying to do something about it I discover that departed is most definitely an accurate description for our ficticious freind as the old forums, as some of you may know, seem to have wandered off and consquently got lost somewhere. Taking with them, the Apocalypse fanfic... But! Do not despair my fine flock of fanatic ficcers! For I have retained a fully edited version of the fic which is 114 posts in length. Now the problem we do have here and by the use of the word we I am involving all of you out there in Fanfic land, is that I don't know what to do with this fic. What I want from you is a solution to the problem. So what do I do? I could just post the whole fic in as a new topic in the fanfic section, or I could not. I honestly don't see any other options available but the first isn't that great so I'm hoping someone else can think of something. So come on everybody! This is real news for once and something that concerns almost every one of you! You don't even have to search the forums for it! So scroll down now... And press Comment! Go on! Do it now!

Jh316 Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hmm...Whatever happens, I hope you do figure out a way to post it. I never read the Apoc fanfiction, just the UFO one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snikers Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Is there something wrong with putting it in the fanfic section of the main site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 In a word? Yes... It's 114 posts long and I don't know how to get it back up on the site without reposting every post again... For the office people here that comes to just over 104 pages of size 14 text... Greg, Cold Apple Pie, Alan, The Veteran, Carlos the Jackal, tftd fan, Ki-tat Chung, Doc France, Warlord, Ego Terrorist, Tammy These are the eleven writers who worked on the fic. All of them are now here excpet Greg who had only one post and can easily be accounted for. Of course we have no Warlord but the rest of us are here.Is there any way we can rewrite the fic? Given that I have what has to be written and who by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Why not just copy and paste it onto a webpage, where people can read it. and have it continued in the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos the Jackal Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 That wouldn't be too bad an idea, cept it creates a break in the story. Perhaps posting the whole lot, then locking the topic, and starting a contunuation topic. There's still a break in the story, but at least its just in another thread, not off-site.

The Veteran Posted October 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Well what I'd like to do ideally is to put it all in one thread and then carry it on in the same one. I'm still fidlling around with that idea right now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 Hello. Veteran is right. 114 posts (therefore having to be defined into chapters) is too much to put in the FanFic Section. I suggest asking Pete, as he's always full of bright ideas And on a note of fanfiction, Mr Howell's revised Chapter 1, and new Chapter 2 are up for your reading pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 I'm waiting for Pete at the moment but he's busy with one of his many projects I believe as he hasn't been online to reply yet...Till he does then the whole thing is at a standstill for a while...

JellyfishGreen Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I second the opinion of submit it to Pete, have it posted in the Fiction and Story section of the main site as Part One, a huge lump of text (chapterized, maybe). Because it does sound too big for the forums. A new forum topic can then have a hyperlink back to Part One in it's first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I'm still waiting to hear from him... Whatever he's up to he must be deep in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 He really is, so much so that he just turned over the UFO: Aftermath site to me and Ooda for the time being--not that it's very active right now, but that's an indication of how busy he is.

The Veteran Posted November 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 I wouldn't bother greeting him if I were you Ki-tat. I don't think w'll be seeing him again for a long time!!! The clue there is glaringly obvious but just in case I use the letters P and I... In no particular order of course... Now stop spamming in here and go check out the news!
