It would help if you could include the name of your story and the archive in which it is published to speed up locating your story. For future reference, our FAQ on disclaimers does contain examples, including a fairly simple example of a fan fiction disclaimer. We do appreciate a bit of creativity, actually, but there are certain things that must be stated in order to stay in compliance with the copyright laws here in the US. It must state that you do not own the fandom, by name, which for you is Captain America. It must say that you make no money or that you make no profit. As long as those things are there and unmistakable, I myself enjoy a bit of humor or creativity. It brightens my day immensely, especially when I've had to review over a hundred stories that day for ToS compliance. I will say that we have very clearly defined criteria for leaving a warning on a story about any ToS issue, and everything we moderators do is submitted for review to the administrators, so it's not a case of our being arbitrary. Even the warnings we leave are standardized and written by the administrators. No one is treated differently that way. As an author, I'm required to observe the exact same rules on this site, and I'd get warned just as quickly and in the exact same manner. In fact, I'd probably get warned faster, since my fellow moderators and the administrators all know a dozen ways to poke me. It's not meant to be punitive, or difficult. It's simply what needs to be done to make sure that fan fiction can continue to be written and published for everyone to enjoy.

I am showing you with multiple accounts, yes, so we'll get you added to the queue to have those accounts merged. You'll be notified when that's been done, and you should be able to proceed with validating your account.

As you are aware, AFF does not encourage the sharing of downloaded copies of stories. If a story was removed from the site, there was a reason and that should be respected.

Hi, I just tried a quick edit of my own bio here on AFF to see if I could reproduce that server issue, but mine updated just fine. I'm not sure about anything to do with your LiveJournal page, but certainly the AFF servers are functioning normally as far as I can tell. Are you clicking the option for "My Control Panel" in the upper right corner of the archive profile page/homepage?

It is deeply unsettling, and I can empathize with the need to keep things to yourself as much as possible. But when you do need to talk, we are here.
