That did it! Thank you.

Try setting your theme (option in footer) to AFF NEW, which is the redone theme, if you don’t mind dark themes Bravo 6.

You can actually manually input your own tags. We don’t provide pairing tags in the drop-down menu, for example, so some members like to add a tag upfront about the story's pairing. 
What we do ask, however, is that you stick to our tags for trigger topics. As an example, “Non-con” is not a valid replacement for the “Rape” tag. You can add Non-con, but you must have Rape clearly tagged. The same thing goes for anime-specific age related tags. Minor1 and Minor2 are not optional, or replaced by Shota or Loli. 

I’ve just sent the second-to-last chapter of “Rewire” off to beta. My next goal is to do the same with chapter 6 of “Band Together.” 

Hello, sorry, it’s still me, I have a problem: I posted my fic but although i select S through Z ‘YOU’ it appears in ‘1 through F’ why???
I already tried to fix it twice.. should I delete it?
I don’t want it to appear in the wrong section, sorry!

edit: it seems the problem is fixed now, sorry for annoying you!

If the author has a forum account as well as an archive account, you could PM them.
Otherwise, unless they've put an email address or something in their profile, a review might be your only recourse. If it were me, I'd be glad for someone to point out a problem like that, even in a review. Remember, the author can always delete the review if they take offense -- or after they have fixed the problem you pointed out.

This is more of an issue for me on the reader side of things. There was a story I was curious about which I kinda wanted to read but the formatting of the first couple chapters is off.

I looked at some of the later chapters and they seem to fix it later but I’m a little put off by the first several chapters.

Would it be considered bad of me to point this out to the author? I feel it’s probably better to do one on one but I’m not sure how to go about doing that. Rather than get a moderator or admin involved in it directly. I could write a review but that feels too public and somewhat mean.

Double header!
First, we have the concluding chapter of “The Business of Pleasure”: Chapter 8: A New Arrangement
Second, we’ve got the next chapter of “Band Together”: Chapter 5: The Band, Part 1

Hi, all.
For truly “wrong” romantic/erotic parings, I tend to go towards dark humor.  So, Dipper/Mabel isn’t quite a “wrong” pairing, though it raises the question that if they married in Kentucky and divorced in Arkansas, would they still be fraternal twins.  I’m thinking more along the lines of Mr. Ed/receptive Wilbur, Granny/Mr. Drysdale, Uncle Joe/every female over the age of consent, etc.
Cheers!

IMO, a nonlinear story can work IF you make it clear when the events of each chapter are happening. You could use a literal timestamp (eg, starting each chapter with the date) or a figurative one (“Iggy was exhausted from training, but the championship was only two weeks away”). Or a narrator could explain it (“Now that I’ve told you ____, let me tell you how it all began”).  

Jeez, where do I even start?
As wrong pairings go, I loves me some incest. I’ve written stories about Hiro and his Aunt Cass from Big Hero 6, Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls, and Lincoln Loud and virtually all of his sisters from The Loud House.

I had a burst of inspiration over the weekend and made a lot of progress on the final chapter of “The Business of Pleasure.” I will probably send that to beta tomorrow.

Chapter 5 of “Band Together” is now off in beta-land. 
Probably the next thing I’ll finish is chapter 6 of “Rewire.” It’s a hard chapter to write, though, for a lot of reasons—including the fact that it’s the linchpin of the whole story. Not that I’m feeling any pressure to make it perfect or anything.

Adding a WIP tag is personal choice. I’m happy to do it for you, of course, but we aren’t sticklers about WIP or COMPLETE. I do know some readers like those tags, though.

The penultimate chapter of “The Business of Pleasure” is posted!
Chapter 7: The Tale of the Tape

Yeah, I think I can reasonably say that it should be clear. Essentially, in chapter 1 it says that the villain took over a business from a particular character in the past from the perspective of chapter 1. Then in chapter 2, it features the character who the villain took over the business from and explores the reasons why they decided to allow the villain to do it. So I think that will be clear.

Right now, my main focus is on writing the next chapter of “The Business of Pleasure.” It's probably going to be the longest chapter in the story because so much happens in it. There's a fair amount left to write, but I think the writing will go relatively fast because I have a fairly clear vision of what will happen in the chapter.

Chapter 6 of “The Business of Pleasure” is posted!
Chapter 6: Household Affairs
 
In other news, chapter 4 of “Band Together” has gone off to beta, and I hope to send off chapter 5 of “Rewire” by next weekend.

Hey, all. I've been doing a lot of traveling lately and therefore have had little time for writing. But now I'm done with travel for a while and am back at the keyboard.
The next things I expect to send to beta are the next chapters of “Band Together” and “The Business of Pleasure.” I'm hoping to send both within a week or so.

Chapter 4 of “Rewire” is off to beta. I’d love to get the next chapters of “Band Together” and “The Business of Pleasure” off by the end of the month, but we’ll see.

Hey there. I’m going to be traveling quite a bit over the next several weeks, so my productivity will slow down a bit. Nonetheless, I expect to get chapter 4 of “Rewire” off to beta next week. I’m inching toward finishing chapter 4 of “Band Together,” too.

Thanks! Addiction isn’t something I’ve dealt with much in stories, but for this, it seemed fitting.
Well, you know, the spirit of the holidays and all that.

The new chapter of “The Business of Pleasure” is posted!
Chapter 5: Sister Act
I’m still waiting for chapter 3 of “Band Together” to return from beta, so now I plan to focus (to the extent that I ever focus) on chapter 4 of “Rewire.”
