Deadman Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 There’s a possibility that this goes in the Archive Tech Support, so if that’s the case, my bad. I have a story which I’ve been meaning to find a place for. Looking at the television category where it would go, there’s no category for the show. Which I assume means it goes in the Misc TV shows category? What are the best ideas around using it? Since so many different potential stories can go there? Should I give the fandom up first? The description? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 If this is a show you’ll write more stories for, I can always create a category for it. Otherwise, you might want to name the fandom in the summary field, jut so people are aware of it in advance. Deadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At most I may have a couple more chapters but it’s more just a story I had to get out of my head in this particular fandom. I suppose I’m more asking exactly how. As an example: “Summary: An (insert fandom name here) fanfic. Jane has a problem and...” Or should it be: “Summary: Jane has a problem and… An (insert fandom name here) fanfic.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mostly to alert potential readers at this point, but should the fandom ever wind up with a category of its own, it’ll be easier to spot your story and move it if you put the fandom name first, as in your first example.

Sure, I’m guessing almost no one would be writing a fic for the fandom. While some of it is still active, most of the fandom hasn’t written much fanfic.

Well let me put it this way, the pilot episode aired 13 years ago and when I look other places for fanfic? There's almost none. Less than 200 stories in the whole fandom.

So let’s stick with Misc TV Shows and just note the fandom in the summary somewhere. Deadman and Wilde_Guess 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
