Slashy Santa Archive Now Accepting Stories from Previous Challenges!
Now that the furor of My Slashy Valentine has passed, the archive has been unlocked to accept stories from Slashy Santa exchanges past!
Simply log in to your account and click "Add New Story." Half-way down the page, you will see CATEGORIES. This is a list of all our older challenges all the way back to Slashy Santa 2004. Select the appropriate category, then click the little right-arrow button to move it into the "Selected Categories" column, and fill out the rest of the submission form. Voila!
I reiterate that the old geocities site is not going away, and you are under no obligation whatsoever to add your old stories to the new site-- this is merely one more place for those tales to live. The archive will remain unlocked until it is time to begin the next challenge.
Using the Handy-Dandy Text Editor
Some of you wanted to use the handy MS Word-like text editor on the site, but could not see it when you tried to submit a story. The solution is simple:
The next time you add a new story to the account, the submission form will display all the formatting buttons that you are familiar with from your word processing program. No more fussing with HTML!
(If you are old skool and prefer to code your stories by hand, you can disable the WYSWYG editor in your preferences)
As always, I'm still testing and refining the site, so if you encounter problems, please let me know.
Happy archiving!
