Dating in FKFicFest

[brightknightie]

Last year, we had a strong suggestion that, for best exposure of FKFicFest, we should consider each updating the dates on our own stories from their upload-to-the-queue dates (necessarily in the past) to their actual release dates, as soon as they go live.

I've just tested this on the story that I wrote for this year's game, and it seems to work. I recommend this to anyone concerned about the effects of a story sitting in the queue for a long time before release! And perhaps keeping the release dates current might help bring a few readers generally browsing the archive during the fest over to follow the fest in specific? That's the idea!

(BTW, the story I wrote this year is long. I don't expect anyone to read it all in one day. Save it for the weekend or something? We just have a number of long stories this year, and spacing them out meant that one should release today. ~shrug~)

Darn. I always list both the posting date and the release date in the wiki. (And yes, both yesterday's and today's stories already have articles written for them. :D )

:-) The most important thing is that all the stories are in, not precisely when they were uploaded or who spilled Diet Coke on whose laptop at just the worst possible moment on the due date. ;-)

I can't argue with the principle of what you say. (Diet Coke, eh?) It's just the archivist in me speaking, you know.
