Meridian Bardic College Archive
All contributions are welcome!

     Submissions may be made by email to the webmaster at ThaddaeusV@yahoo.com.  Attachments smaller than 500k are accepted, and most word processor file formats will be fine, although plain text is always a nice thing. Please indicate whether your piece is a story, song, or poem, and if it is a song set to a popular tune, please indicate what the tune is.
     By request, the whole archive is now available for download as a ZIP file here.  You will need PKZip or Winzip to open it.  It also includes my backlog of stuff I haven't formatted yet.  If you know HTML and would like to help me out by formatting the stuff for me and sending it back to me, I wouldn't object.
     Some of the songs in this archive are not exactly G-rated.  The rating system described below is to help you select which works are appropriate in various contexts.

      Clean.  No sexual references, nothing that should be objectionable.
      Mature.  No sexual references, but contains other material which may offend, or be unsuitable for children.  Most drinking songs will have this label.
      Bawdy.  Some veiled sexual references.
      Dirty.  Sexual references are not veiled.  Use these with discretion.  Remember, one of our primary roles is to entertain, and that which offends usually does not entertain.
