This is technically a category request, so I’ve moved it to the appropriate forum. In answer to the question, though, in order to get a pairing specific category, the admin asks for links to at least five stories with that pairing. If they are not available, then the pairing specific category will have to wait until we have enough stories, I think. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

The OP is the author of that story, and is offering it up for adoption.

So: TV shows School of Rock Yes, have one story in progress?

Alrighty, then I will pin requests until DG can get around to answering them, and then they’ll get unpinned again

And since the forum where you originally posted this is for Announcements about the forum and the archive, I am moving your thread to the appropriate forum… Willow Darkling, forum moderator

Should I maybe pin these until DG can get to them, just so the oldest requests don't get lost?

Since it needs to be reiterate, as is stated at the top of this archive: I have therefore edited the post from guest-Jasmineboop. Do not use this forum to pass around copies of stories not your own. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

You need to input the birthday exactly as it’s shown in the example, with the dashes, as in 1983-04-13 (year-month-day). If the problem persists, then please provide as much detail as you can about the error message that you get, and the archive mods can be of more help when they come on later today. Willow Darkling, forum mod.

As far as I know (not being an archive mod) the stories that appear on the “front page” of each category are the stories that have been recently updated. And there should be subcategories in almost every archive, categorized according to type, i.e. M/M, F/F, M/F, etc. and also many of the archives have pairing specific subcategories. (Like, Harry/Ron, Sam/Dean, etc.) The archive mods should be on a bit later in the day, and they can answer your questions better. Willow Darkling, forum mod

I answered the survey. Best of luck to you with the assignment.

Sorry I did not notice this sooner, but the irrelevant link has been removed. Sorry about that, I’ve been a bit busy. Willow Darkling, forum mod.

Ah, did you use the same password again, or did you create a new one? If you used the same one, then that causes a bug (I think that still happens) and you'll need an archive mod to help with that. They are usually around in the afternoon, so please be patient and one of them will give you better answers. I'm sorry I could not be of more help.

I’m not an archive mod, but let me ask the usual first round of questions. You got the activation email, and clicked the link in that? If yes, then try clearing your cache and cookies, and then logging in again, and remember that the password is case sensitive. If that does not work, then please wait for an answer from one of our archive mods, they’re really much better at this than I am But, welcome, and happy writing.

I’m answering this as an author on this site, not as a staff member. But I am pretty sure that there will not be any kind of a download feature added to the site. And as an author, I would not want one.

First of all, it would help a lot to get a pen name, and/or a name of a story, to make it quicker and easier to look up. You should have gotten either a review from one of our archive moderators, or an email concerning what needed to be fixed. You should still be able to access the story through your control panel, so you can fix it. But what I can find is that your disclaimer is not correct (you need to disclaim the fandom, not just characters) and some tags need to be added. That’s all I can tell you, but our archive moderators will be around later today, and they can give you more details. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

I’ll defer to you on this one, Bronxie, since this is an Archive question, really. So, I’ve deleted my first post about moving this thread, since it’s irrelevant now.

I also said in my post, to create a thread here after you post a story, but I’ll let this slide since you state that you are writing one of the stories. Please post a link to that story in this thread as soon as you post it to the Archive, and then you can discuss all of this here. Thank you for your cooperation. Willow Darkling, forum mod.

I’m going to step in now and ask all of our readers and users to please read the rules for this forum. They are pinned at the top of each of the sub forums. It is clearly stated that the Challenges and Request forums are for issuing Challenges or Requests to other authors, not for discussing your own ideas. It is also stated in the rules that this forum is not to be used for “think tank” posts, which is what this thread is turning into. So, please keep any further discussion on this thread focused on the original post, and Ikarusu-dono, create a Review Reply thread in the appropriate subforum as soon as you have a story up on the Archive. There you are free to discuss all of this as much as you like, and guests can post there too without needing to sign up. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

To Lady’s Daughter. It is allowed to post story update notices on the Promote a Story thread, yes. If you have a (semi-)regular schedule of updating a story, and then one day can’t post at the “regular-ish” time, then it is alright to put a short notice on the Promote a Story thread. (something like “Unforeseen circumstances, so next update will be up four days later than usual”.) I think it would also be alright if you have a very irregular update schedule, to put a notice like “Chapter X, work in progress, should be done in x many days.” on the Promote a Story thread, and then EDIT that post to a “Chapter X posted today!” notice when you post it. But, any questions asked on the Review Reply thread should of course be answered there, and all discussions about the story conducted there too. I hope that answers your question. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Please check your email, one of our archive moderators sent you an email concerning the missing stories, according to to the archive moderators’ records. (Please make sure to check your email’s spam and trash folders, just to be safe, if you don’t see the email in your inbox.) Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

This is not how to request categories in our archives. Please refer to the “Request a Category” forum on how to do that. And users are only allowed to upload their own stories to our archives. I will leave this up though, as a general search thread for fan fictions in this fandom. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Since it bears repeating, I'm quoting myself: What we do NOT allow on the other hand are requests for copies of stories, nor links to sites where the story has been posted by someone other than the author. Therefore, I have edited your post. This goes for both stories posted on the site and stories posted offsite. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

...means I get sent out to buy more ketchup...

As is stated at the top of this forum: Therefore, I have edited your post accordingly. If you wish to have the title of this post edited, you can let me know here, and I can fix it for you. – Edit: It was pointed out to me that the title of this post led to an unverified site, so I edited it. Willow Darkling, Forum Moderator.

Glad that you figured it out. Welcome back, and hopefully someone can help you find that story. Willow Darkling, Forum Moderator.
