Author pages in the FK Wiki (3) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 07:42:24 -0400 From: Greer Watson <gwatson2@r.......> Subject: Author pages in the FK Wiki I thought I'd let people know that I've recently completed (more or less) making wiki articles for authors of Forever Knight fan fiction. It's a project that was started by Susan Garrett; and I've been adding to it off and on for the last three years. I hope that this will help people locate stories, at least if you know the name of the author. The link is here: http://foreverknight.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Authors Obviously there have got to be fan writers I've missed. *Who* is another matter! If I knew, then I'd make a page for them. :) Still, at this point, I've got over a thousand names, sourced from all the FK archives, Fanfiction.net, AO3, and any multi-fandom archive listed on AO3. Plus some personal archives. A caveat! A lot of authors have used a pseudonym at one time or another, and some have used several. So there's a risk that, in a few instances, I've got people double-listed since I don't know that Real Name = Pseud 1 = Pseud 2, or the like. However, whenever I do know that someone has written under different names, I've done a "redirect" so the search engine will find the article we have on them. Please note that having these author pages does *not* mean that we have pages for all their stories. (Yet.) However, I've tried to at least *list* all their stories on the page about the author, as well as providing links. That's *if* links exist, of course, since some early stories were only in printed fanzines; also some that used to be on the Net have been taken down. If you spot any errors or omissions, do please e-mail me.

(Yet.) For clarity, the pages Greer refers to are merely an entry on the story much like any wiki page at Wikipedia. We’re not archiving stories themselves. We're attempting to catalog the titles and subjects of stories to make them more accessible to the fan base to ensure the fandom thrives. We understand, however, that many of us joined the fandom in our very early years, wrote stories, and then went on to professional careers or even simply different lives. For that reason, we were the first wiki at Wikia to insist on an author privacy policy for information we store. You can read it here: http://foreverknight.wikia.com/wiki/Forever_Knight_Wiki:Policy/Privacy This policy became the model for fandoms throughout Wikia. We felt it important to allow authors to account for youthful choices they might prefer to leave more private. If you find your name in the list of authors and would prefer to have it obfuscated as a "Name Withheld" entry, we can definitely do that. Just contact either me or Greer privately and we'll take care of everything.

I loved her stories, and every email connected to them is out-of-date. Hey, Vanessa! Can you hear me now? >>grin<< Lyn On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 7:42 AM, Greer Watson <gwatson2@r.......> wrote: > I thought I'd let people know that I've recently completed (more or less) > making wiki articles for authors of Forever Knight fan fiction.
