All,
I saw a cool Thief Guild webpage advertising newer fan missions. I also know there are a bunch of old sites still hosting FM downloads. However, with my own upcoming first FM release soon, I'd like to know where to upload it and if I should look into joining any FM community or something to get word out about it?
Can anyone help me with what is the appropriate path to releasing and announcing a new FM?
Are there newer webpages for them?
Thank you!

As someone who just downloads missions, not hosting ones of my own, I am not an expert here. But from what I see downloading missions these days, there are not many old sites still hosting new missions. You could try (
http://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/) and (
https://darkfate.org). Most links these days seem to be shared from Google Drive or Dropbox. (
https://www.thiefguild.com) doesn't seem to host their own, but would be a good place to submit download links to once it's up.
As for announcing it, a forum post here would be good. The title of the thread should be something like 'Game it's for: Missions Title (Date of Release)'
eg. T2 FM: Made Up Title (Aug 12 2021)
Hopefully this is enough to get you pointed in the right direction. Anyone else, feel free to chip in with anything I missed/corrections.

Soon! Should have a thread about it hopefully in the next week. Got someone beta testing and after that I see no reason why it can't go out in it's current state unless I find some issue before then.
