Three cheers for [personal profile] mara_sho!

Laaaaaaadies and Gentlmen....

And all you Xander writers out there...

I Need A Parrot the Xander zone of the BtVS Writer's Guild has re-launched.

As you know, the site was originally run by Kaz back in the day, but there were some difficulties and Kaz let [livejournal.com profile] mara_sho take over. Three cheers for [livejournal.com profile] mara_sho everyone!

I did post some stories over on the old I Need A Parrot, but it was so difficult to use that I ended up abandoning it as an auto-archive. I found it to be an absolute pain.

The new site lets you directly upload stories, instead of simply cut and paste text, and is an absolute dream to update! Plus, it's much, much easier to add chapters. The functionality is really a breeze for Xander authors who are looking for one more archive for their work.

Best of all, the archive accepts all pairings and all ratings, so there isn't a limit like on FanFiction dot Net, nor do you have to be afraid of sanctions for infractions that make zero sense.

I've already uploaded Into the Desert, Two Words, Dismay, Mars Rising, Contrite Spirits, and Revelations. I've also uploaded the first chapters for Whisper and Living History. At some point, I'll be uploading the Where Fools Go stories.

So, applause for the lady of the hour, everyone!

This is wonderful because I've been wanting to read your work. And now I know where I can easily go!

Woo!

Yay! Thanks for the info. I had signed up, but had yet to look at the upload procedure, cuz I didn't want to take the time to figure it out. I now will happily do so soon. You rock, Liz.

aw shucks.... thanks Liz! I'm so glad everyone seems open to the change of ownership and are finding it so easy to use! The script for the auto-archive was, to put it bluntly, a bugger to install, but now it's running bug free and seems to be a big success!
