The Goal: 100 Oddworld Fanfics in one place!
 
Do you write fanfiction? If you do, please submit it here and help us get to 100 different oddworld stories! http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Oddworld/

The basic idea is to get all the like-minded individuals here to submit their fanfics to the website, so that you reach a totally new audience with your work. We're already around the 70 stories mark, so we only need a few more to get to the goal of 100.

They don't have to be new stories, just upload any story that isn't already up there! I'm hoping that a few of my friends will chip in with this!

Not only that, but these fanfics are stored permanently. This means that even your old stories (which could be missed here) would be seen and viewed by many different people for a very long time without you having to keep bumping your story or re-posting it.

It's simple to use and easy to change or add chapters. You import using either a txt, doc or any other document type (doc is best). I really hope I can drum up some support with this. Please leave a message on this page if you're willing to do it! I can't wait to see what the count will read when we've all finished submitting our stories!

I might submit mine if I can be bothered to do it, and if I can figure it out.

You might as well, it's worth it alone just to get some extra views on all your fanfics. It even gives you a distribution of the hits.

1) Sign up (it's free!)
2) Upload a document (preferrably doc or txt)
3) Create a section for the story

You can then decide whether you want to make changes or add new chapters!

Do you just upload the whole thing at once, or is it one chapter at a time?

AlexFili 09-13-2009 12:45 PM

While the website is catered for one chapter at a time, you can just as easily upload the whole story in one go.

When I make a new story, I'll probably store the chapters in different text files. At the moment, I just imported it all into one document.

Well there we are. The first Murder Market has been published on this website.

Wow, I was sure that molluck's assistant and Slig75 would do this as well.
Can someone poke them for me? :D

Slig75 09-21-2009 10:18 AM

I will post my story up on FanFiction.net. Because i've just signed up on FanFiction.net, it may take at least 2 days until i can get my story up. I do think its a good idea though :)

what the hell? apparently someone has already signed up with my Hotmail address, meaning i cant sign up due to it becoming a 'duplicate account'.

if someone has i wont be very happy.

AlexFili 09-22-2009 11:11 AM

Sorry to hear about that MA... That's totally messed up if they have. Try signing on with a different account if possible. I really look forward to seeing our work up there :D

Thanks for the support!

Oddey 09-23-2009 11:33 AM

MA, my advice to you is that if you want to make an account, just use Gmail as your Email. It's free, and won't spam you to my knowledge.

Slig75 09-23-2009 11:50 AM

W00t! I have just uploaded "Military Matters" onto FanFiciton.net :)

AlexFili 09-23-2009 12:07 PM

Cheers guys. Wait till you see how many readers you'll get :D
So, any plans for new fanfics? I have a couple in the pipeline ;)

*Moves Slig75's post to the 'I have an idea' thread*

Slig75 09-23-2009 10:40 PM

Ah, right.

AlexFili 09-23-2009 11:44 PM

Nooooooo! Foiled by Splat!

By the way, you're not seriously going to put every single upcoming idea into one thread? You realise that we'll be hitting the 10 page mark in a matter of weeks?

Thanks shaman.
