I talked to my husband about this last night and he told me that I get a free web page set up through my DSL service. I called the DSL company today and they're getting the account set up for the web page, so this might actually be do-able. My husband says he and his friends at work can set up the web page for us.
So if you guys are really serious about helping out with a Silm archive, I'll take you up on it. I would need help on figuring out how to set the archive up, what graphics to use, deciding whether or not to make it a completely open archive or an approved-admission type, how to let people know about it, moderators/managers to help with the admin stuff, etc...
We wouldn't be able to have a big archive with all the options provided here - probably just a basic archive without a forum or nice extras. I'll have to wait and see what hubby and his geek friends can do with it.
So is anybody still seriously interested in helping? Please?  |

Anna - this is super easy to do.
I have some links to php crap, free forums etc already. I will help!
As long as i dont need to code stuff! I can help make graphics etc too.
If you dont have space to do it for free, i know some free websites that can host it as well.

OK, I don't have any Sil fics ... I'm still not sure I can keep track of everything that happens in the Sil ... but for some reason I find the idea of a site dedicated to Silmarillion fanfic wonderful.
I'm willing to help ... I don't know much about webpages/html and all that fun stuff that usually gives me a headache. You can check my site (http://www.geocities.com/thuriniel73) ... that's about as far as I go (for now) with web design. I can also draw (sort of) and I've been playing lately quite a bit with graphics. Let me know if there's something I can do  !

Others: I'll just wipe my nose now 
Oh, and if there is any thing I can do, to help on the whole Sil site, I dunno what, but I'd be happy to .... |

Anna, up until Sept 4th, I will do whatever I can! I am hopelessly useless really, but I have the desire to please, doesnt that count?

Yes. On exactly August 17th, I'll be a real person again (current work commitents having been completed by that time). I don't know php, but I'm okay with html and some very basic scripting. Plus I adore dinking around in Photoshop. Any way I can help, just let me know. |

I'd be glad to lend a hand and help out in any way that I can. Having a bit more free time in my schedule is a wonderful thing indeed

Thanks much for the offers of help. I will definitely be taking you guys up on it. The website I get free has no pop ups and just a regular URL of our choosing instead of a big long name that no one can remember. It starts out with 5 mb free and I can add another 30 mb for 10 bucks a month. Still have to check on the bandwidth.
My hubby is a telcom analyst/programmer. He works more with the hardware side of things, but he can set everything up for the web page. Although I'm sure he'll be glad to have help with it, especially with the graphics and deciding how to set up the layout. I'll send you guys the URL after he gets the basic pages set up and I guess we'll just go from there.
Any ideas on what to name it? |

Anna - to save on bandwidth, we can cheat and link off site! Host the actual fics at a free site like geocities where you just click to nav back to the main page?
We should name it something to do with friends! Since a group of pals is getting it up!
Akallabeth?
Cuivanen - spelled very badly!
Aelin-uial - that meres of twilight one

Not trying to be a smartypants but:
Silmarillion Fan Fiction
Simple and to the point, not as much fun but easy to remember.
But you might want to use a Quenya name just to give it a more serious air. Since the Prof said that Quenya was the scholarly language and thier equivalent of Latin
My spelling gnome has left for the day, sorry.

I like that. There are way too many sites with obscure Quenya/Sindarin names ... they just all fuzz together in my brain. Something straightforward in this fandom might be nice.
One step removed from perfect clarity.... Hidden City? |
