This site is dedicated to ALL fans of Blade Runner.
We do hope that everyone drops in to the Usenet newsgroup alt.fan.blade-runner
but there is plenty on this site to entertain you if you choose
not to do that.
So, while I expect most contributions to come from
regulars at the newsgroup, even if you don't visit there, your contributions
will be welcomed for consideration.
To submit something, there are a few very simple steps:
- If
it has anything to do with additions or changes to the Blade Runner
FAQ, this should be sent to Lukas
Mariman who is the FAQman.
- Before
putting a lot of time into creating something, please e-mail me
first with your idea - I will quickly be able to tell you if someone
else is already working on something similar.
- When
you have finished, send me your stuff attached to an e-mail, (preferably
zipped if it is substantial.) If you would like me to do any proof
reading first, I'll be quite happy to do that, otherwise I will
fit it into the website as soon as I can.
The obvious questions I think some people might ask are "What
format do I send it in?", and "I don't know the first
thing about creating web pages - can you do that bit?" The
answer to both is the same: You can send it in any one of several
formats - Straight text, RTF, Word, HTML, etc. First, it is worth
knowing how the site pages are structured:
There are only "three" page formats that will be used
on this web site:
-
The
standard page across most of the site looks like the one you are
reading now. The left hand column is made up of site-wide library
items, so ignore those. If you want to submit something for a
standard page, then you could, if you wanted to, copy this page
and change the bits you want, but the only bits that need changing
are:
-
a couple of fields in the Head section (Title, Author).
- The
heading on the page.
- The
content in the big blue box.
So
it is just as easy to send to me your stuff as ordinary text or
HTML and I can just slot it in to a page created from a template.
- Large
text documents, e.g. stories, are formatted on easy to read and
printer-friendly black on white pages with no menus, etc. A plain
text document would be the best way to submit this, (with notes
of where, if at all, you would like it split into parts).
- Your
own chunk of website. While I like a consistent look across the
site, I am only acting as webmaster to a collective experience
and thus have no intention of imposing my views on how your stuff
should look. So, if you feel inclined to create a whole set of
pages in its own section, please feel free to use whatever page
style you fancy. It will be linked from an appropriate place.
Don't forget to specify how you would like your name to appear
and what e-mail address you would like attached to it, (you don't
have to, but why not invite feedback?)
