Guest Ghost, if you want to request a category you have to create your own thread, and use the form provided in the post pinned at the top of this forum.

Sorry for the wait. Our head admin is the only one who can make new categories, and she’s been crazy busy in RL lately, and it might be a bit of a wait more before she can make the new categories. So, for the time being, you can put the name of the fandom in the description of your story, but still post the story in the Misc M/M category. It can then be moved later, when the category can be created. And just so you know, if you want to have a specific pairing category, we need at least 5 stories of the same pairing before that can be created. Best of luck with your writing.

I’m going to point out that we do not allow story content beyond 10 lines on the forum, but I will allow this to stand, since it is a part of a prompt. Just be careful not to add any more story content to this tread. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

No worries, our head admin will let you know here once the category has been created, and I think that you can then move the story yourself. If not the archive mods will help you move the story. Just be patient with us because our head admin is the only one who can create categories, and at the moment, her RL schedule is crazy busy. Also, I think that while you have to post your stories in the Misc. – het male/female section (and you haven’t already done so), you can put the name of the category you are requesting in the summary of your story. That way it’s clearly marked where that story belongs, when our head admin can create the category.

Technically, yes it does go against the rules, but I’ll allow what you’ve already posted to stand, since it is related to the original challenge. The rules do state that the Requests and Challenges threads are not supposed to be used as “think tank” threads, unless the person is planning on writing a story based on the request/challenge, and needs some details from the poster of the challenge/request.

Guest Random Fan, are you planning on writing a story based on the original challenge, or are you making a challenge of your own?

Moved to a more appropriate forum since this is not a category request. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Thank you for the kind words, Dirty Unicorn. I’m so happy that you like it here, and it’s always nice to get a pat on the back. So, thank you.

I am not an archive moderator, so I can’t tell you exactly what the problem is. But, I found your story (hidden) and I think the problem is that where is says Disclaimer you need to put the actual disclaimer. It’s not enough to put “for Disclaimer, see Chapter 1”. You need to put the actual disclaimer in the appointed place. Fix that, and I am sure that the archive mods will be able to unhide your story later today, when they come on. Oh, and on a side note, it would help a lot if you put at least the name of the story, and maybe your username too, in the post to make it easier for the mods to find you and the story in question.

Since it bears repeating, as is stated at the top of this forum: Any further requests for or offers of copies will be deleted on sight. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Please provide all information needed to create a new category, as follows: 1. Need the subdomain you want it in (i.e. cartoon, books, hp) 2. If pair specific, I need LINKS to 5 pre-existing stories of the same pair, in the archive 3. Categories are added as needed, meaning we do require that you are in the process of WRITING for the category you request, or that you have a story ready to add. Also note that our Head admin is extremely busy in RL and it may take some time before the category can be added.

Since it bears repeating, as is stated at the top of this forum: Therefore, Guest Lothar, your post has been edited accordingly. Any further requests for, or offers of a copy of any story, will be deleted on sight. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I’m going to have to ask you to stop. If people are interested in this challenge, they’ll respond to you. You posting on your own thread begging other users to take this challenge is not likely to bring this challenge any more attention. Just relax and keep an eye out for any one responding to this challenge. You could even try to write it yourself. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I got the members menu up when I go to my profile page, while logged in. Then it looks like this:

I think, if you log into your archive profile, and go to your profile page, in the Members menu on the left (I am doing this on a laptop, not a phone, I never use the archive on my phone, so I don’t know how it works) there should be a Reset Password option. Click that, enter your email, and then follow the directions given in the email. The email will not provide you with a new email, if I remember correctly, but it will provide a link back to the archive, where you can enter a new password. Do not use your old password again, because I am pretty sure that still blanks the fields and causes an error. Make up a new password, and then you should be set. BUT, please bear in mind that I am the forum moderator, and don’t know fully how the archives work, so if you want to be a hundred percent sure, wait for one of the archive mods to confirm that I’m telling you the right thing sorry…

Since, unfortunately, it bears repeating and is stated at the top of this forum: We also do not allow links to fiction sites where the requested story has been posted by someone other than the author. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I moved this to a more appropriate forum, since this is a question about where to post a story. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I remember that it was changed to default not allowing anonymous reviews, and our head admin had to run a query regularly, to allow anonymous reviews. I don’t know if that’s been fixed or not, but my guess is that that’s when it changed on your stories. But, our head archive moderator will be on later, and she can answer you better than I can. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

It apparently hasn’t been taken up, since there is no link to a story.

First of all, I think this would get more staff attention if I move it to the General Staff Questions forum. But I won’t move it unless you want me to. We do not have a way to download the stories posted on our Archives (unlike at least one other fan fiction site, that I know of) but as far as I know (which is very little) there’s no way to prevent a copy/paste on stories. And I am sure that our head tech admin and our coder would love to implement something like that in the future. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I missed that post, so, Lissa, I’m leaving your response up Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Sorry, missed those unrelated post, and they’re now deleted. But I’m leaving this post from Guest Guest, since you do mention that the idea is inspired by other fanfics… Willow Darkling, forum moderator.
