  1. To be quite frank, I don't leave reviews on stories that I simply can't read. It's not because I don't care about the future of the written word. On the contrary, I'm in love with words, and have been all my life. I relish the interplay of language, and I delight in nuance and shading. Nothing makes me happier than to be transported elsewhere by a well written story. But... But if you don't care enough to run a simple spellcheck, if you prefer the sloppiness of text-speak, if you haven't the barest notion of how to use punctuation, if grammar is an elderly female relative good only for birthday handouts, NOTHING I say in a review is going to make you change. I've no desire to waste my time tilting at windmills. The best advice I can give to anyone who wants to improve as a writer is to read. You'll see some common themes in published books everywhere. They follow the basic rules of grammar. They use punctuation appropriately. They spell words correctly. They attribute dialogue in a way that lets me know who's speaking without having to read back three paragraphs. They don't broadcast a change of scene or change in point of view with a banner headline. They research, so you don't have a medieval monk checking his wristwatch. (Brownie points if you can name the play in which Shakespeare makes a similar error.)

      Thank you, everyone! 21 years, and we're still talking. It's astonishing! :D

      Melrick, I haven't actually killed him yet, but I really think I'd get off with time served if I did. :P

  8. If you are using Internet Explorer 10, there is a known issue: Workaround for IE10 You may need to log out, close your browser and restart it to let the changes take effect. When you log back in, make sure to use only the upper right corner fields to log in.

  12. Glad it's resolved!
  13. Hi, Kataangfanficer, Sorry this is frustrating you. Let's see if we can help. First off, what OS and browsers are you using? There should be no fundamental difference in logging in on the new domain. You use the login boxes in the upper right corner, and passwords are case sensitive, like before. If you can be more specific about where the errors occur, and exactly what happens, we can be a little better at pinpointing the issue and helping to resolve it. Thanks!
  14. The fact that the writers for the games can't seem to figure out that romance doesn't have to include angst, stalkers, or a redemption arc. Or STDs, just to toss that one out there.
