Attn: Authors
May. 17th, 2004 02:05 pmA while ago, I had asked people what features they'd like to see added to All About Spike. One of the most popular choices was author biographies. Now that I'm out of school, I finally have time to set this up. And I have a feeling that if I don't do it now, it'll never get done.
So. This will be completely optional, of course, and will go on the author pages at All About Spike. Authors who don't fill this out will continue to have what they have now: a page listing all of their stories that are archived at AAS, plus their email and website addresses if those exist. Those who fill this out will have all that plus their bio.
I'm going to provide a questionaire, which authors can fill out if they so desire, or can choose to completely ignore. (It's just to give an idea of what to say--authors can also just write up a text bio instead of answering questions.)
Before I go sending this to everyone, I want to make sure the questionaire works. So if you're interested, please take a look and let me know if you think of any other questions I should add, or if any of these are silly and should be removed, or if any need to be reworded/clarified.
( Preliminary Optional Author Questionaire )
If you're an author, you can go ahead and answer now, or wait until I have a final version. (I'll post again when I do, then send emails to those who don't answer through LJ.)
Answers can be provided in LJ comments or sent to me via email at drinkthepoison@hotmail.com. Emails can be in plain text, HTML attachments, or MS Word attachments. Length can be as long or short as you want.
