WillowDarkling got a reaction from RFsych101 in Legend Of Korra - Brainwashed To Serve
You’re more than welcome to add a link to the relevant post in the Fanart forum to the standard form in your first post Just mark it with something like “Fanart Thread” or something, and then add the link. That way your readers can just jump right to it and don’t need to search.

Sadly, you were right.

WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in Request: Review Function
I believe that at the moment, only readers who are logged in to their archive profiles can leave reviews. No anonymous reviews are permitted to prevent a repeat of the attack that shut us down.

WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in What's something you find yourself repeating in the writing you do?
I tend to do it more within a single story. I had one editor tell me that if my MC drank one more cup of tea, she was going to explode.
Other than that, I find it’s very easy to fall into the same way of describing sexual acts. There really are a finite number of ways most normal humans fit together, but it irks me when I find myself falling back on the same tired descriptions, you know? I’m actually experimenting with a fade-to-black approach in one f my WIPs just to avoid the whole bother.

I went back to check if I was the one who fecked up for once it wasn’t me
(And then I nearly repeated Desi’s number, but caught it just in time before I posted )

WillowDarkling reacted to manta2g in Are anonymous reviews deliberately turned off no matter what, or is that just a bug/something waiting to be turned back on?
Anon reviews are disabled for site security. After 4 months in read only, we did not want to leave any opening for another round of injection attacks.

WillowDarkling got a reaction from Deadman in New story in the wrong place?
I can’t seem to move the story (I’ll admit, I just don’t know how, and it’s past my bedtime ) But I have hidden the story because it’s missing a proper Disclaimer. @BronxWench will deal with it properly when she gets back on, I’m sure.
Thanks for letting us know, Deadman

I actually live fairly near to Sleepy Hollow and Mount Pleasant, so I do know the area.

WillowDarkling reacted to manta2g in Missing punctuation in story summaries
Like with search, anything that could be used as part of an injection attack was stripped. I know it’s a bit of an annoyance, but for now please bear with the quirks as I work through the code to re-enable stuff without further risks. The big priority was to just to be able to safely come out of read-only mode.

I had a friend who tested negative for pregnancy into her 9th month. She was, fortunately, quite aware she was pregnant, and didn’t suspect demonic interference.

WillowDarkling got a reaction from Deadman in Kendall and Veronica Go to Kinks Castle
No worries.
We have them separate basically so that the promotion of the story and chapter upload announcements don’t drown in the chat between the author and their readers, basically. You are even allowed to put a link to the Review and reply thread in an author’s note in the story, so users who don’t have a forum profile can also chat with you there.
The Review and reply threads are exactly what the name suggests, a place where you can interact with your readers and other users as freely as you wish. You can thank reviewers for their reviews, and/or chat with readers who want to know more about the story, or whatever, no limits. Except just, you know, no story content

WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in Account Deletion
There are many reasons people delete their stories online. In some cases, they no longer wish to be associated with a fandom, or decide that they prefer not to have their email address associated with an adult fiction website for reasons of employment. We’ve also had people remove stories and accounts because they are now being published and the publisher has requested they remove any online content.
Whatever the reasons, our policy is to respect the wishes of our members with respect to their own works.

WillowDarkling got a reaction from BronxWench in Posting/editing stories
Of course you can use my stories, BronxWench not a problem.

WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in Posting/editing stories
I was able to delete a test story I created so I could make screenshots for the FAQs as I updated them. Earlier, that wasn’t working for me, but manta fixed it. We’re expecting to find a few things that need tweaking as we get back to business as usual, and of course we want to know if any member finds anything not working right.
(And yes, I have more FAQs to update—I need a willing victim to let me use a story to illustrate how to recommend a story and add to one’s currently reading list. I’m not able to recommend my own stories or add them to my currently reading list, and I don’t want to just grab someone else’s story without asking nicely first. I know my WillowDarkling will let me play with a story, though. I just have to wait for our time schedule to sync again.)

I’d suggest also listing tags at the start of the story itself, to CYA.

WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in Need updated FAQs
I’ve updated some of the FAQs for adding a new story or chapter, and editing chapters and story information. If the FAQs aren’t clear, please let me know!

WillowDarkling reacted to Wilde_Guess in Riding the Lincoln Way
Here’s a preview from Chapter 34.
‘Fuck my life again!’ I thought to myself. I never completely stopped loving Stacy Cook even if I would never completely trust her ever again. And I was beginning to think that Uncle Rick was okay even if he fucked up badly a few times around when I was conceived and born. But, their current take on ‘civility’ left me beyond speechless.
I had to intervene, and rather dramatically seeing who I was to the pair of them biologically, to keep them from destroying each other’s lives along with my five siblings and me on my own front lawn. I only asked them for civility. Yet somehow, the two of them decided that while civility was nice, that fucking like rabbits was even better? And Stacy Cook couldn’t possibly have forgotten how light a sleeper Paul was in the months since she last shagged Kopchek, could she? And if she hadn’t started taking her “vitamin stork-killer” again, her last period ended fifteen days before Wednesday night. My body remembered her menstrual cycles because I never caught an even break when she was on them.

No worries, we banter, and do try our best to not be stabby with the newbies
And I do try my best to answer questions as best I can too

I never put the 10 line thing in the FAQ because it only applies to the Challenges and Requests forum, since that’s where we’ve had the largest issue with people posting story content. On the rare occasions it has popped up in the Fan Fiction forum, I’ve just quietly edited the posts to comply to the ten lines rule, and left a post telling people that we don’t allow story content in the forum. Because we don’t allow story content in the forums. It’s first and foremost a copyright issue, and then as BronxWench pointed out, the forums are supposed to be a place for us to chat, bitch and moan, drum up support for writers and be a community.
The only reason I allowed it in the Promote a Story forum was to be nice because of the Read Only mode having been going on for so long. And as I said above, I will be rescinding that rule as soon as we’re back up and running.
And it doesn’t matter at all from where in the story those ten lines come from. Not at all.
As for me obviously not having read your original question properly this morning (I claim lack of morning caffeine and general unwellness) the Promote a Story forum is exactly the place to post all the details you want about your story.
There is a standard form to include in the first post in that forum, but in addition to that standard form, you can include whatever you want about the story, as long as it isn’t purely story content. So, go nuts, put in a chapter by chapter detailed description if you want to. That means something like the following:
”Chapter 4. Jack and Jill fight over who gets to carry the bucket up the hill, Jill has a mean right hook and Jack learns that getting falsies is a fucking pain in the ass, but at least it’s less expensive than the new glass eye he’s going to need.”
But NOT the following:
”Chapter 4. [The actual story content describing the ridiculousness above].”
Does that make sense?

I may be in need of my morning caffeine, but I’m not sure I get what you mean by “details”. If you mean something like a book cover blurb, which don’t contain any actual story content, then I think 10 to 15 lines of text should be ok, but then ONLY in the Promote a story forum (in the thread for your story) or the Great Wall.
But if you mean something that contains story content, then like BronxWench said, it’s restricted to 10 lines or less.
I only allowed the 35 lines of text for a preview in the Promote a Story forum because we’ve been in Read Only mode for so long, and I wanted to allow our writers a little bit of a leeway. But as soon as the Archives are back out of Read Only mode, that allowance will be rescinded and the posts containing story content in the Promote a Story forum will be cut down to the allowed 10 lines.
