I have a friend who is a complete bookworm nerd. He loves reading. I happened to have the forums up on my computer when he came to visit. He's always been nosy and this time was no exception. He knew I played The Sims as a hobby, but didn't know I wrote some SimLit.
He started browsing the The Sims 4 Challenges, Stories and Legacies category. He asked me if there was a central station where all these stories were being advertised as there is a lot of threads to go through. I showed him STORIES AND LEGACIES INDEX GATEWAY. I told him it's a bit outdated and hasn't been updated in some time as the creator is probably busy.
Well, my friend has offered to set up a domain and server to create a new and exciting Links Directory. This is not to take away from all the hard work that @mastressalita had done. And her WordPress website seems to be on the fritz and the Directory section has no content.
He just wants to host it, but not run it. He'll do all the techie stuff and that fun jazz. And he'll use it as another reading source for himself.
The premise of the Directory is for any members to submit their SimLit to it. Then there will be moderators to approve listings. For obvious reasons, we don't want just any link to get into the Directory. We want it SimLit only related. Guests will have to register to submit their SimLit. But the fun facts he told me is that members can submit as many stories of theirs and keep track of how many they submitted. There will be multiple categories they can submit their stories to as well, in case it should fall into more than one. Also, he's going to go through the first couple pages of the The Sims 4 Challenges, Stories and Legacies category and add stories to the Directory. They will have no member submitted text to them. If you see your story listed, you can register and claim that you wrote the story and a moderator can then link it to your member account so you can update/edit it.
Once he gets it all set up and in working condition, he's going to show me the ropes. He suggested and recommends that members from here become moderators over there to help the approving of story submissions. At that time, I will ask for help. I'll probably even ask @mastressalita to be an honorary moderator.
Anyway, I thought I'd share that we should be getting a new Directory soon where we can easily put all these great SimLits into another central area.
Ah, okay, I figured that was probably the reason for needing a new SimLit Directory, but wasn't positive. Thank you for answering my question! Thank you too @LegacySims2017 for posting what you wrote in the thread and for taking up the mantle for the SimLit Directory!
I finally submitted two of my stories! I wasn't able to submit Lost Pride, because there seems to be an issue with the blog? I'm trying to figure it out. I'll submit it whenever i can, though.

I'm not so good at navigating this xD specifically my own stuff. The actual directory is fantastic and easy for me. ^^
But yay I'm getting more banners finished so I'm starting to upload more to this!!
Great directory site idea! Love it and glad i'm catching it while it's still early!!
I've registered as a member and followed the email, but when I try n login it tells me to follow the code on the email, which I did. Maybe i'll try in a bit but we should be logged in to try and send a new Lit right?
