      @mastressalita Thank you very much for mentioning my story in the Random Shoutouts.

      @mastressalita thank you for adding me to the index! :)
    • mastressalitamastressalita Posts: 2,874 Member
      @Shizu9no1 : If you actually visit the index, your story was marked as "completed" on your entry the day it finished uploading and also put on the completed stories list. I just didn't put it in the newsfeed that night cause it felt weird to me announcing a work as completed that was technically already finished (but just in the process of being reuploaded). Lately I've had a lot of folks getting on me about announcing stuff as "completed" that I shouldn't so I'm using a wiiiiiiiiiide margin of caution in that particular section of the newsfeed from now on.

      @mastressalita
      Thank you very much for your patience in explaining how you work. I didn't expect you to give my legacy a shout-out; I didn't know until you explained that this thread also contains a Completed Stories List in addition to the Stories Index. What an amazing amount of work you do!

      And now that I've embarrassed myself, I know that I can just send you a PM the next time. *cheesy
      The simming community is so fortunate to have someone like you to keep everything so organized.

      @mastressalita Can I please submit a small correction? The Munchkin Legacy is set in the same universe as the Miskins, but is actually a new project: it is a collaborative round-Robin legacy between myself and @cynicalbadger. Can we please both be credited?

      Information from the Stories and Legacies Index Newsfeed is compiled nightly from subscription feeds by those authors that have registered their works with the index, and is based only on post titles only that come through those feeds. Authors that have specific information they want added to their site listing in the index need to come to the Stories and Legacies Index and fill out an amendment form; it is impossible for me to personally inspect each and every post in my subscription feeds to know every bit of information an author may/may not want listed. This is why the original submission form states it is the author's responsibility to drop by and amend their information when they want to change anything about their listing.

      Over the last month I've seen more and more complaints from index-listed authors over "mistakes" in the newsfeed when I'm just trying to give authors and their stories exposure and update their entries in the index for them automatically so they can enjoy a totally hands-free experience, and I'm considering discontinuing the newsfeed as a result. Please try to understand the work it takes for a single librarian to maintain an up-to-date catalog of 350 Simlit works every single day.

      @mastressalita Pardon me - no offence was intended. I was going to submit the form today, but when I saw you had already mentioned the story here, I thought a post was more appropriate as I believed it would save you work. It was not intended as a complaint, and I apologise for any offence caused. I will use forms in future. Thank you for all of the hard work you do: it is appreciated by this community.

      Omg @mastressalita I hope they fix the general/ts3 creative corner soon or that you have a backup of your index...
    • mastressalitamastressalita Posts: 2,874 Member
      There isn't even a place on these new forums to bring my index back to, @Julyvee94 . The new segregation means my index is completely and utterly pointless. It's a place that has always accepted ALL Sims stories with open arms. It is not a place for ONLY Sims 2. It is not a place for ONLY Sims 3. It is not a place for ONLY Sims 4. I refuse to make it any of those things. Ever. Now the Creative Corner is a place for only those things. Without a shared Creative Corner that is open to all games, I see no point in running it.

      I believe that without a shared creative corner there's an even greater need for it, dear @mastressalita . We need it MORE now, not less.

      If the forums are going to segregate by game, then we NEED an organized, updated integrated list. We need it.

      @CathyTea : I refuse to "pick a side". I refuse to have to pick Sims 2, Sims 3, or Sims 4 Creative Corner to "be the home" of the Stories and Legacies Index because it is NOT any one of those things, it is ALL THOSE THINGS... and even more! It is also Sims Freeplay. Sims Medieval. There is even a The Urbz: Sims in the City Let's Play in the Index! Did any of you know that? The amount of diversity in the Stories and Legacies Index is amazing, and the fact there is no "general" area that I feel comfortable placing it anymore is heartbreaking.

      Yes, I have a back-up of it off the forums (of course I do, because they pull awful stuff like this). But do I want to bring it back, in an environment like this, where the creative community is forced into little boxes by the games we play?

      Not really.

      I feel sick in the pit of my stomach over this all. They didn't just "delete" my baby. They got rid of my home. I have no home on these forums... and I don't really feel like sticking around on here at all anymore. This "pick your game and stay in your corner" attitude isn't for me.

      I really only see two options... Duplicate the index in EVERY Creative Corner, but that would be WAY too much work for me, so it isn't feasible. I can't update three copies of it every night, when it takes several hours of work every day to maintain ONE copy. So let's already shelf that idea.

      The other is to just take it OFF the forums, because these forums bite now. Would anyone still use the index if I set it up on a Wordpress site? Would they click one extra link to get the same information? My thought before was always, "No. Folks are lazy and not going to click one extra link." But this is now where my mind is going, IF I continue with the Stories and Legacies Index at all. It means folks would have to leave their submissions via comment on the Wordpress, instead (anon commenting would be turned on; no one would have to have a WP account). Benefits would be those that aren't on these forums could now submit data to the index, drawbacks would be that data would not be readily accessible on the forums and it may be harder to get folks to click a link and go to a WP page to sign-up and add their stories. I don't know if that draw-back -- getting folks to go somewhere else -- is worth it to go through with the project.
