I have a question along similar lines: if the disclaimer is within the story, does it have to be at the beginning of the story? I found the following in the faq: "A blanket disclaimer in the user profile is not acceptable, it HAS to be attached to the story." (emphasis mine) I have a story series based on the Kim Possible episode Dimension Twist, in which she is trapped inside cable TV. She finds herself randomly moving between channels and finding herself inserted into different shows or movies. The number of crossovers is unlimited, potentially any show or movie that has ever been on cable TV, animated or live-action. Part of the fun is Kim trying to figure out where in the hell she is. And she needs to know, because some shows are dangerous (for instance, finding herself in Jurrasic Park). So it is a guessing game, for Kim and the reader. But if all of the fandoms have to be listed at the beginning of the story, that aspect is destroyed. The disclaimer becomes a spoiler. So I placed the disclaimer at the end of the last chapter, listing all fandoms that were represented, as required. Now obviously, no one would expect it there, so I also placed a generic disclaimer at the beginning, pointing/referring to the real disclaimer at the end. While unorthodox, this does satisfy the requirement of "attached to the story." To satisfy legal requirements, does the disclaimer have to be at the beginning of the story? I already have a disclaimer-violation review against me, so I would appreciate a ruling on this.

Thanks. While you are at it, could you add Futanari/Dickgirls/Hermaphrodites to the list? These are not quite the same as transgender/transsexual/transvestite. Futanari/dickgirls are not "trans" anything. They are typically born full female, grow up female, and have live, functional dicks attached in some technological/magical fashion after the fact, either replacing the pussy or in addition to it. Sometime the dicks are temporary and she returns to being full female. The reason I ask is because all of my stories except two contain dickgirls.

When adding content codes to a story, there is a tag of "Minor", which appears as "Minor involved (Pedophilia)" when selecting. This is ambiguous, because the words mean different things. Minor would be someone under the age of consent (which itself varies by locality). Pedophilia is pre-pubescent, generally a much younger age. Many of the stories, especially cartoon shows, have middle teen characters who would be minors, but not pre-pubescent. Suggest use of "under legal age for sex" rather than "pedophilia", or better yet, making them two different content codes. Some of my stories have characters of both age ranges.

Okay. I wrote a script that scans my html files and strips out the stuff that won't work here, creating alternate files than I can then upload. I'm testing it now. The html and pdf files are machine generated anyway, from a common source. This would just be an additional step.

I'm not sure how protected they are. The Internet Privacy Act referenced by most such pages doesn't actually exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Privacy_Act

Well, that makes sense I suppose, but surely at least some people here have heard of WWOEC. That is where the web pages reside. As I said, I have no objection to actually uploading the stories, but the huge effort of reformatting an existing large story without introducing errors is daunting, especially for just one site out of many. At the very least, the rules ought to say that you cannot link to stories elsewhere. I spent quite some time adding those stories yesterday. I entered the first one, then waited a while before the next, just in case something like this would happen. Since it seemed to be allowed, I continued with the others.

This would do me no good. The actual web page where the stories reside has neither hit counts nor comments, so even if more people did show up, I would never know. I post the links to the story on the other sites for the comments and hit counts. So that I know people are reading the story and what they think of it. Otherwise, why bother posting it on the internet at all?

From the viewpoint of the reader, how is this different? Is a single click that costly? The links pointed directly to the story, not to the main page of the site. I currently have my stories available on five different sites. This would have been the sixth. Whenever I make updates or changes, I have to change only one copy of the particular story, as opposed to going to all five sites and hoping that I make the changes consistently. Then all I have to do is add another link directly to the new chapter on all the sites, so that everyone knows that there is an update. Yet it is still just a single click to get directly to the new chapter. I have the stories both in html and pdf form already and would have been happy to upload them directly, even though it is unnecessary work. I thought that I would be able to do that when I saw a html upload option. But it turned out to not really be html, but a barebones version with virtually no tags. The stories make heavy use of tags, having navigation and a table of contents. Since most of the stories are long, it would take a tremendous amount of work to reformat all that. On the other hand, PDF is self-contained. How difficult would it be to allow pdf uploads so that people could download and read on their own computer?

Also, the stories appear to have been completely deleted, rather than just hidden. They do not show up on the Author Panel either. So there is nothing for me to correct.

I am sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I don't see anyplace else that even remotely fits. This is about violations, and apparently I did one without realizing it. I joined yesterday and all seven or so stories I put up were deleted. I have no idea why. AFAIK, I did not violate any rules. I looked through them and I don't think I did anything that matches any of them. Could an administrator tell me what I did wrong? BTW, there appear to be two jackrabbits.
