Either way works. It’s mostly to alert potential readers at this point, but should the fandom ever wind up with a category of its own, it’ll be easier to spot your story and move it if you put the fandom name first, as in your first example.

I’m a dedicated pantser. I do have an idea of the basic story, but characters tend to get away from time to time.

If this is a show you’ll write more stories for, I can always create a category for it. Otherwise, you might want to name the fandom in the summary field, jut so people are aware of it in advance.

For me, absolutely. I have certain characters I truly enjoy writing for, and a large part of the editing process for me is making sure I’m not giving other characters short shrift.

If the author is giving permission, then we won’t object if anyone has a copy and is willing to share it. I also received a copy of the email, so I can attest that it came from the author’s account.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links that will get you back into your account. Just follow the instructions in the email.

It’s something our coder will address. There are a few functions that did not get activated properly in the new archive code, and since I’m not a coder, I couldn’t tell you what might have gone wrong. But we are aware of the issue, and it’s on the list of Things To Do. In the interim, I can access most of the functions, although there are a couple that won’t work for me, either.

I’ve emailed you the links for activation and password reset. I have a suspicion Yahoo marked our original email to you as spam. They didn’t take kindly to us emailing all our members.

I moved it to Avatar - The Last Airbender > FemmeSlash - Female/Female for you.

I’ve emailed you the links to let you activate the account and set a password. The instructions are in the email.

As I understand it, the one-shot is a single chapter in the multi-chapter Scooby Gang Time story. If that’s the case, I’m going to say that the site rules wouldn’t prohibit taking that single chapter and using it to start the spinoff story. I would just ask that you stick a little note somewhere, even as a footnote author’s note to the chapter, that this was originally a one-shot in Scooby Gang Time, and it took on a life of its own. You can add a link to the original story as well.

It’s oddly specific about what it will and will not do. It’s fine with italics, but boldface is just not cutting it. It’s like dealing with my corgi.

I’ve emailed you the links to activate your account and set your password. The email contains instructions on how to proceed.

I think it largely depends on whether or not referring back to the one-shot chapter would be sufficient to bring readers up to speed. There’s also the question of new readers, who might not have read your Scooby Gang Time story.

I’m going to say that it’s part of the ongoing glitches with the Rich Text Editor. In other words, it’s not you, it’s us.

I’ve emailed you with the proper links to activate your account and set your password, with instructions in the email.

I’ve moved this post to a more appropriate thread. Now to the question. The first thing is to identify the best websites for your content. For example, certain sites have content restrictions. Here on AFF, our Terms of Service and Content Guidelines are pretty clear, and spell out what we do and don’t allow. But if a site doesn’t allow, for example, fiction based on actual persons or celebrities, posting a story about a real person or celebrity isn’t going to go over well. Once you’ve figured out what site or sites best suit your content, you need to make sure your story is going to attract readers and hold their attention. If you are able to post a summary, make it catchy. Spend a bit of time reading book summaries and blurbs to see what the professionals do. PROOFREAD AND FORMAT your story. Nothing is a bigger turn-off than typos, misused words, missing punctuation, poor grammar (unless it’s required for a piece of dialogue), and walls of text. I’ve put down published books that I paid for, and refused to finish reading them because of poor editing. You might be posting something online for free, but I truly think you still need to polish your story. Some sites, like AFF, have forums or community boards where you can promote your story. If that’s available, use it. Include the catchy blurb, story tags, and all the other things that might catch a reader’s attention. AFF does not support cover images in the archive, and we don’t allow images in the forum that are NSFW, but some sites do allow cover images. We use our forums to allow readers to engage with authors, while other sites let you reply to reviews directly. That’s what comes to mind for now.

Glad it worked!

The email address I have in the archive is different from the email address you’re using here on the forum. Is that correct? I’ve emailed you new links to the address I have on record for the archive.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links to get you back into your account.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links.

I’m showing two email addresses associated with this pen name. Please let me know which is the correct email to use, and I’ll send you the links to activate the account and set the password.

I’ll email you the account activation and password reset links that will work, if you can provide me with a working email address. The one I have in the database returns as a disabled account.
