There's still the question whether we actually feature the story on the site,
or just link to it. I'm trying to get approval from the authors to do this
(feature), but it's up to them.

Er, what exactly are the advantages of having it on the CW site?

I can see a lot of 'convenience' advantages for having the stories *not*
being on the CW site - for example, the fact that editing, adding to, or
otherwise altering the web pages is much easier when you have direct
access to them.

It's less work for the maintainers this way, too - they only have to add a
link, rather than messing around with someone's HTML.

The fact that (at least some) of the stories will appear without the
annoying pop-up ads or banners that characterize free web providers is
also a big plus in my book.  (I realize that a lot of people don't have
the option of using anything else, but some people do - and if there are
going to be adverts attached to my creative work, *I* want to choose what
they are.)


So, is there a good reason to put the featured stories on the CW site?

(...) Come to think of it, there are none. Except that I thought it would be nice... but I definitely see your point, and agree. Todd brings up another issue that I was wondering about. How would people feel if the CW stuff would be on .org.cw? (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) D'oh - that reminds me... Jeff, you also had a story on your page, correct? Sain and Batu... yeah... any chance we can add it to the list? -Shiri (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
