IMPORTANT RULE FOR UPCOMING ROUNDS REGARDING FILLS:

In order for fills to not get lost in the !filled tags on delicious, please nest your fill. This means that if your fanfic fill has multiple parts, reply to part 1 to add the new update. It makes it easier for us to rec it for delicious as its own fill and not to the prompt directly. And it lets ( Read more... )

So... If I post a fill in little parts, but then I later go back and post the fill in its entirety somewhere else (an LJ account, ff.net, a03, etc)

How does that work for Delicious? If I post a note on my fill here with the link to the complete fill, will that eventually show up in Delicious? Or will it always be linked to my chopped up first fill?

Just wondering because I tend to edit and make things a little nicer after it's posted here. I'd hate for the chopped up version to be the only one anyone ever sees.

the way that the archiving works is that we will link the first fill to the prompt, that way if people want to fill it again, they have the ability to. Your comment featuring the fill elsewhere will show up at the very bottom of the thread or at least where you posted it within the prompt thread. Don't forget that we also have a fill post, where you can edit/add to your original comment to post a link to the cleaned up version of the fill.

different anon - but I was wondering about that.

If I post my fill to the meme part by part, but then don't post to the fill post until I've posted the cleaned up version, will the archive link to my cleaned up version, since that's the one on the filled post? Or will it go back and link to the bits I posted part by part? (Or would it just link to whichever link I provide?)

Thanks for the clarification! Sorry for being confusicated! 8)

I was wondering that as well. If someone begins to post a fill - does it automatically get added to delicious? Or only if it's linked to the fill post?

I wonder because I'd hate to see fills end up in the archive that never got finished.

Realistically, as soon as you start filling a prompt, more likely then not, it'll be added to the archive within 48 hours. The link in the filled post is to make sure that I don't miss anything (especially in the older rounds).

Unfortunately, that sometimes happens. RL or writer's block gets the best of us and can leave a story unfinished.

The way that I do archiving is that I once (okay more than once usually) a day check the round entry. If I see a prompt that started to get filled but I see, then I archive it as filled because there are others like me that forget to post a link to the fill in the Filled entry.

Basically, the archive will link to the bits that you posted part by part. You can post a link to the cleaned up version afterwards in the same post thread.
okay: using example here -> http://suitsmeme.livejournal.com/2038.html?thread=1568502#t1568502
You can do something like that. That way if people want to see if there is a cleaned up version, they are able to scroll down and get the link for that.
