by Simtra Firefox on February 12, 2007, 06:44:00 PMOur mission is to provide novice and veteran writers of the anthropomorphic genre with a permanent place to display their finished works for others to read. The project is still in its infancy but we hope to eventually expand AnthroArchives into a full-featured writer's community which will allow constructive critique and interaction with others who share a love of the written word. We hope to provide a friendly environment in which to share original manuscripts written with the anthropomorphic genre in mind and network with other writers.
Why an Archive? There must be millions of them....
One down side of an online community containing collaborative work is what do you call it --- gallery, archive, wall, refrigerator? A Writing Archive/Exhibit Hall is about the closest we might get.
The idea for AnthroArchives stemmed from a LiveJournal entry in which a friend mentioned the fact that no actively updated story archives specifically for the furry fandom existed. One such source for stories, Miavir's Index, contained only a collection of links and had not been updated since 2002. Many of the links were broken and quite few of the stories we remembered seemed to no longer exist on the 'net at all. The quality of the material varied widely. We decided to do something about it and AnthroArchives was born.
Who runs this thing?
AnthroArchives will eventually be administered by a team of moderators collaberating to select quality site material. For now, it has two administrators.
Simtra FireFox (simtra@gmail.com) is our technical guru. He is currently working on the site's appearance and main features with an eye toward easy navigation and access. Rarely seen and seldom heard, he prefers to fade into the background.
TygerMoon Foxx (tygermoonfoxx@gmail.com) is a writer with the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree in English literature. She specializes in young adult literature but occasionally writes stories meant for the anthropomorphic genre. She's responsible for screening uploaded material and ensuring it meets the minimum standards for the archives.
Is AnthroArchives associated with other archives and indexes?
Anthro Archives is not associated with other archives nor is it in competition with other archives. We attempt instead to fill a niche in the anthropomorphic genre which seems to have gone largely unexplored. We feel the anthropomorphic genre benefits from having an actively maintained site containing these types of works. To our knowledge, no other projects like this exist which are still taking submissions. AnthroArchives is not an index; content is hosted directly to the site and is guaranteed never to disappear unless the author or administrators remove it.
Will my work be distributed in any way?
According to cutting-edge copyright law, the publication of material to a web site does constitute publication. However, AnthroArchives does not at this time distribute directly or indirectly anyone's work with or without their permission other than simply displaying it on the site. We may consider paper publication in the future. Any stories that will be included in print form will only be included once specific and explicit permission for such publication is attained. By uploading your stories to AnthroArchives, you are only granting it the right to allow the public to view your stories via our service. All rights, royalties, and copyrights remain the author's.
Does AnthroArchives allow adult content?
The short answer: Yes, with a few caveats.
The long answer:
AnthroArchives will not allow to be uploaded any material which breaks state or federal laws. This includes but is not limited to depictions of children involved in explicit sexual acts or bestiality (for the purposes of this archive defined as humans having sexual contact with a non-sentient animal or an animal with no anthropomorphic traits). We do allow stories depicting tasteful erotica. We realize that's a broad definition with many interpretations but we're relying upon readers and writers to utilize mature judgment in this matter. If you've written material whose sole purpose is to provide stimulation for masturbation, the plot centers on the sexual scenes, or you would not have a story if you removed the sexual content then your material is probably not of sufficient quality to be uploaded to AnthroArchives.
We DO NOT allow material which contains sexually explicit details. All material must be kept at an R rating or lower. This is the general rule of thumb: if you would not find it on a primary network in the United States at a time when adults would be expected to view the program, then you may not post it here.
