Archive Update

[henpecked.livejournal.com]

Well, I've forged ahead with the plans for an off-site links-only web archive of all things Jeeves & Wooster. The archive will be located at http://frenchowlssayqui.org/indeedsir and will go live on February 20! _{(barring any unfortunate circumstances)}

The archive will be powered by eFiction, an automated archive (open source) software. This will make it very easy to search for stories and artwork by author/artist, title, category, length and/or rating. Each story or artwork includes a summary or the first line of text from the story if a summary was not provided.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to register as a member (which eFiction provides). I tried to think of a way in which it would be possible, but with so many "member accounts" for each of the authors/artists I haven't been able to come up with a viable option. At current, only volunteers will be allowed to register. Speaking of volunteers, is anyone interested in helping out? You would be helping me out quite a bit: volunteers help me find new stories and artwork, add story and artwork links to the archive and are (semi-) involved with archive maintenance. You can leave a comment here or send me an email at whathojeeves@gmail.com if you're interested.

Also, if once the archive goes live, you find that a story or art piece you like (or one you created!) isn't listed, you're more than welcome to submit a link to the archive.

So, that was my teaser! More detailed information will follow when the archive is launched officially.

I posted this over at my LJ but thought I'd share it here as well. Mods, please feel free to delete if you find it too OT for the comm.

As I've been writing my fic, I've used Wikipedia as a resource to verify various facts of canon. That lead me to searching for all J&W-related articles; I was surprised by how many I found. Since a lot of them are interlinked, it got difficult to see which I'd already read before, so I decided to pull together a categorized link list. I thought maybe someone else would find it useful for fic writing or just general knowledge.

Oh, Jeeves, you really are the specific dream rabbit.
