Ah, I think I just figured out the problem, thanks I wasn't even seeing the confirmation thing because Firefox Noscript was blocking it.

Ok, so, I waited a few hours and tried again. I still get a blank page. I copied the disclaimer word for word from this forum. Still nothing. This is really starting to piss me off....

I just tried to add a new story, and couldn't. I had the title, the disclaimer,the warnings, everything. At the bottom it said choose how to upload and then a button that said next. When I clicked next it took me to a blank page.

#5 Severus Snape is Harry's mother. Snape knows this secret, but only he, James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus knew, and were all sworn to secrecy. Snape gave up Harry because since he was working as a spy, for one that info getting out would've gotten him killed, and two, Harry was better off with James and Lily. After Voldemort was defeated Snape was heartbroken that Dumbledore hid Harry somewhere and always thought about him. When Harry comes to Hogwarts Snape has mixed feelings. Part of him wants to tell Harry, but because strange things are happening he doesn't feel that it's safe. He continues to hound Harry and stuff to keep his distance so know one will suspect anything, but it really hurts him to have to do it. When Harry is trying to learn Occlumency, instead of seeing Snape being tortured, he sees the memory of the night Harry was born. Of course this changes everything. Harry also gets to know Draco a little better and romance blossoms.

I'm a little bit on the fence about abortion. I don't think a woman should be allowed to be an irresponsible slut and not face the consequences. However, that is only my opinion. I don't see any reason why I should have any say in what a woman does with her body. Also, in the case of this girl, abortion was definitely the right thing. The rape in itself was traumatic enough, and then there's the fact that it was so dangerous. One would've been bad enough, but twins almost certainly would've killed her. While I don't like the idea of abortion I do agree that if a woman's life would be in danger, or say the baby has a disease or is deformed or something, then the mother has every right to choose. I don't find it very Christian like to tell a 9 year old girl that the lives of her rapist's unborn children are more important than hers. I've also had quite a bit of experience with hardcore Christians. Listening to one makes my head hurt.

I can't write when I'm upset. I can only write when I'm in a calm and creative mood, or a good mood, which hasn't been the case very often lately.

Lots of good advice in this thread. The only thing I can add is find a good beta. They're hard to find I know, but I seem to have hit the jackpot You need one that will tell you if something doesn't work. And of course, don't write sex for the sake of sex. I recently read one HP story where Harry was in the Hospital Wing and he and Draco went at it soon after he woke up. I mean the rest of the story was good, but that just didn't fit. I think someone else mentioned that.

Two weeks isn't that long. Now I have a few fics bookmarked because I really liked them, but it's been months since they've been updated. It's probably a personal preference, but I'd wait a month before I gave up on a story, depending on how much I liked it.

What kind of yaoi? I'm not big into animae, but I do love a good m/m pairing.

She isn't signed in, but she left her email. I don't know what you can do about it, but I'll go disable anonymous reviews and leave it there for you.

I remember getting an email saying my disclaimer didn't clearly state I wasn't making money from the story. It took about 10 seconds to fix. So difficult..... not....

http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php I've recently come across this forum and it's awesome! Come join me and find practically anything your twisted mind can come up with.

I usually have at least a general idea where I'm going with a story. I do sometimes get new ideas in the middle of it. Like I just did a chapter and wasn't planning on having two of the characters kiss yet, but it ended up happening. When I write my fingers develop a mind of their own.

I think people today have a sense of self entitlement. People do suck... There's a thread on here somewhere about dealing with people while working in sales. That about sums it up. People want what they want when they want it. Living in an age of instant gratification doesn't help the issue either. I myself have gone 4 or 5 months without updating a few times because of hard times. Some days it just seems like the world hates you. And try living with a mental illness. It fucks with your moods like you wouldn't believe. Fortunately I haven't had the displeasure of dealing with demanding readers. Usually they just get happy when I do update. Though I do have a Snarry fic I haven't updated in forever because the inspiration just isn't there, and people keep asking me to update. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't just slap words down onto a page. I put quite a lot of energy into my writig, then I send it to a beta, who is also a person with a life.

Would have, but the little piss ant wasn't logged in. I didn't know whether or not something could still be done.

If you'd like your story reviewed, could you post a link? I don't know if it's my browser or what but I can't get to it.

I used to review... But then a pissy fangirl decided she didn't like what I wrote and decided I was flaming the author. Not only did she attack me on the review board for that story, but she went to one of MY stories to copy and paste her attack to make sure I saw it. That pissed me off to the point of never wanting to review again. I've had people attack my stories, jump down my throat because it wasn't cannon and so on and so forth. It stung a little, but if it was just trash I deleted it and went on with my day. This bitch left a message on my review board that had nothing to do with my story, she just had to attack me. But enough ranting... It seems like all people want is to hear that their story is the best thing since sliced bread, and if you have anything negative to say then you're flaming. It seems that if you are an author and you give an honest opinion on another's story you risk opening yourself up to trolling and flaming if someone doesn't like what you say. It's sad really.

What I see most of the time is lots of arguing. The more users the worse it gets. True, most people are drawn to any given forum or group by a specific thing, but that's where the similarities stop. More often than not someone will state an opinion that rattles someone else's feathers and they'll get their clique to verbally bash said offender. It turns into classic mob mentality.

You mean memory sticks? Yeah, I've been saving my stories on one. I like not having to worry about my computer crashing and losing everything. I just have to not lose the stick...

If there's always an official line of thinking in a forum then how do you explain this one? While we are all either writers or readers of fan fiction, this place is a mix of different people with differing opinions. The only opinion that seems to be shared here is that we all have the right to write what floats our boat, and that isn't even shared by everyone

I do really hate it when you have the freedom to have your own opinion as long as you agree with everyone else. Obviously the people you were talking to are very immature. Where in the hell do you meet people because you don't have the best track record.... And yes, there's no reasoning with religious people.

I upload my chapters. I have word and when I'm done I save as webpage. That way any italics and other things I put it I don't have to do any coding for. When you change the file format it does it all for you.

As always.... if you don't like, don't read. Actually, it really ticks me off when people whine about characters being non cannon because keeping a character perfectly cannon is pretty much impossible. You know, if you've been writing and role playing him the way you think that character would really act, then great. But how can you be so sure that if J.K.R. herself were writing that story or role play thread she wouldn't have the character act differently? The only characters that have any depth at all in the Harry Potter books are Harry, Ron, and Hermione; and it mostly focuses on Harry. The only glimpse we get of Draco and his personality is when he's having a go at Harry. If you were to actually pay attention to how Slytherins are described, they are scheming, backstabbing little fuckers. Weakness is a death sentence, same as it is as a Death Eater. So who's to say that when Draco is being a prat it's not an act so he can survive in the snake pit? Are you the original author? And let's not forget books 6 and 7. Draco was smug the whole way through book 6, but at the top of that tower he couldn't do it. If I remember right he was actually crying. Then at the end of book 7 the Malfoy family is curled up together on the floor. Even after all I've just said... the most important thing to remember is that this is a place where people can get creative and write what they want about their favorite book, movie, or TV show. Yes, there have been some really bad HP fics, but you don't hear me bitching. If I start reading and I don't like it I go find another one. I repeat the process until I find one I do like. It's a very simple process.

I've been following this and I'm just baffled. I can't say whether or not their story is true. I do know that most security officers don't carry guns unless they work in a museum or something and they're guarding something expensive. I do know that the community college that I went to for my English and Psychology classes had a vending machine with sandwiches and hot pockets and crap and it didn't have bars. It still would've been hard to break into though. But true or not, these people are definitely fucking nuts. Talk to them if you're entertained, but don't give them your address or number, and DON"T go visit them! I'm serious on this one. Even just telling the story is a sign of being seriously mentally disturbed.

My best idea is to make Owen a more in depth character and have him do something unexpected that gets Gwen's attention and makes her kind of like him.
