  1. I've always liked being able to have everything on one site. That was as much a draw for me as the fact that this site was actually moderated, with staff that hung out in the shoutbox and talked to members. Of course, that sort of led to me joining the staff, but it's all good!

  7. HOORAY! It's about time, given HOW many times she was reported.
  8. Hi! A couple of things come to mind. First, try logging out of the archive, and then logging back in using the fields in the upper right corner. We have a known glitch that makes the center login fields work only when creating the new account and activating it. After that, they don't work. Second, remember that passwords are case sensitive. If you used a capital when setting the password, you need to use a capital when logging in. If neither of those help, then I suggest clearing your cache and cookies and logging in again. Sometimes you get a corrupted cookie string that can cause this issue. Just keep in mind that clearing your browsing history doesn't clear the cache. We have instructions here for most major browsers.
  9. Aaawww, disappointing! I grew up around kilted men, so for me it's neither feminine or particularly unusual. As far as cross-dressing males, I can appreciate a really good cross-dresser as a performer, but in what I write? My slash pairings are generally two men that are equals, not a man and his partner who is trying to be a woman with a cock. I don't understand that particular fetish (cross-dressing) well enough to write it, and I'm not one to misrepresent other people's pleasures.
  10. This is the right place, but sadly, the answer is no. We only allow cross-posting if a story has been translated into another language.
  11. Hi, We do have a specific thread to request categories: Archive Category Requests Be sure to follow the requirements.
  12. What program are you using to create the chapter, and how are you trying to input the text to publish it?
  13. Exactly, and Anora's common blood shows in the way she exerts her authority. Very much like her father, who managed not to learn from Maric how to rule.
  14. For Culloch's Rest - Chapter 22: "Jingo" was a tad easier for me, since I did have a modern character to use it, although the fey were puzzled. And yes, Paul has turned his attention to making a life in the fey realm rather than hoping for any sort of salvation in his own world, but there is never any guarantee that what he puts in motion will work exactly as he thinks it will. And thank you for reviewing!
  15. What I always find compelling is your unveiling of the workings behind the facade. It's a theme you've explored in other work, and it's utterly fascinating. The change in Anders between Amaranthine and Kirkwall is profound, and the canon explanation of his hosting Justice is simply too much of an artless dodge. Yet you make the changes far less of a clumsy contrivance, and much more of a glimpse behind Anders' eyes. I truly enjoy that.

  17. I may do that in conjunction with taking classes at university. We'll see if an old dragon can learn new tricks.
  18. I've been debating trying to learn that way. I'm delighted to hear that it's fun.
  19. I've deleted no reviews since I first began posting fiction online in 2008 simply because I was feeling hurt by what the reviewer said. Sadly, I lost all my reviews on FFN when I removed my work there due to the rampant plagiarism and lack of moderation on that site. Having said that, I will admit to having deleted a few non-reviews. Two were responses to warnings I'd left as a moderator here, and the authors posted to my review board rather than emailing. I replied via email, but deleted the non-reviews. The only other non-review I deleted was posted on the latest of a series of prompt response one-shots I had done, and the reviewer was posting in retaliation for my having warned a friend of hers. It was obvious from the review that she had simply gone to the first subdomain where I had something published, and grabbed the story at the top of the list, which, as anyone with sense knows, would not have been the first thing I'd published, but the most recent. It was not a serious review, and although I have retained a screenshot, I did not dignify that idiocy with a response, nor did I feel obligated to keep it, typos and all, on my review board. For the most part, I try to respond to all my reviews, and my review threads are right on my profile. I love a good discussion, and I love good concrit even more.
  20. Emailed, with my FFN account and a statement that this is why I will not post there any longer.
  21. Long titles can work. One of my all time favorite works is Philip Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? which actually bore no resemblance to the still enjoyable movie, Blade Runner. Mr. Dick's title did not give too many clues as to the content, but it was certainly intriguing enough to make me pick up the book so very many years ago. Samuel R Delany's Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand was another brilliant work with a hefty but evocative title. My titles tend to be short, but that's because I am dreadful at titles. I don't think there are hard and fast rules on title length, nor should there be. It really is a matter of individual taste when you come down to it.
  22. It's fine to rewrite a story. We understand that authors want to change things sometimes.
  23. Hi! If you've deleted the old story already, there's absolutely no problem with posting the rewritten version. If the original is still posted, don't delete it yet. Read this FAQ to find out how to proceed.
  24. Oh, gods, television... I so rarely watch it, and when I do, it's things like Game of Thrones, or Vikings, or Copper on BBCA. I refuse to watch talk shows, reality shows, or anything where a "personality" calls the shots. But I'm sticking with George RR Martin on this. View all your characters as people, and you will tend to have well rounded characters. Did you see the interview excerpt making the rounds? I adore that man...
