6. How exactly are authors listed in the archive's index pages?

Authors are listed alphabetically by the first word of their name, i.e., John Smith will be archived in the J's, not the S's. The archivist does this for the sake of simplicity and consistency. Stories authored by more than one author will be listed under both authors' names, i.e., under "J" for John Smith and Mary Bates and also under "M" for Mary Bates and John Smith.
