Edited Half-Life: Portal, so it is now Portal and in the relevant alphanumeric top level. Added Half-Life (Series) Busy as always JayDee...like this is something new....

Well said Cal! As to imagery, the stories I've found which featured older couples, when they were written well, the imagery was all about their interactions with each other.

Is this it?

Details are here. In essence, if you add an emoticon to your status update, at the END of the line, it screws up how the columns draw. So, if you're going to use emotes, use 'em in the middle of your sentence, beginning, but not the end.

LOL

Neris, Until you're admin validated, you won't be able to post links. We do tell people that it takes up to 24 hours for that to happen.

Story link neris found for ya

Whenever you copy data into RAM (memory), it gets copied to the clipboard. This link has detailed instructions on what each icon in the rich text editor is for, and will help.

You have to use the "paste from clipboard" window if you're copying from another site. Should still retain your formatting.

Nope, just means I missed the post. Category is added.

Are you writing it IN Spanish? If so, it goes to the Non English archive. Also, stories written in another language can also be posted elsewhere in the archive, in English. Those are the only exceptions to double/cross posting we have. If you're writing it primarily in English, with Spanish and Patois as part of the story but not the primary, it's no issue. Lists- Those would be those "stories" which are simply lists. Such as character lists, or things of that nature. Just what it sounds like. Non Chapters- These are often used as a way to "bump" the story up in the latest updates list in the archive. This is patently unfair to the majority of the authors who DO NOT do this. Often, what you see with a non chapter is an author note only in the chapter, saying something like "updating in a few days", and the sole purpose of such a thing is to bump the story up. Other things which constitute non chapters are a chapter of nothing but character lists. Put that at the end of the chapter, or the beginning, wherever it's most helpful in your story, but not as a chapter on its own. Again, just like it sounds. Placeholder chapters are chapters where the author adds a chapter, has nonsense in it, because they plan on going back and adding content when they have time (whether that's the next day, a month from now, or whatever). Again, the sole purpose here is to bump the story up in the latest updated list. Author notes as stories. Absolutely not allowed. We delete those as we see them. Searches, challenges and requests in the archive, not allowed, deleted as we find them. You're probably wondering why, and it's quite simple. The archive database is now 7.9GB. To take some of the strain off of that database, searches, challenges, requests, story discussion (instead of in the review board), overly long author responses within the stories, have all been shifted to the forum. After all, if the database crashes, we have no archive. So, when I (and yes, it's me that sets this up for db health) say that this is what needs to be done, this would be why. This is also why it's enforced. And please, I realize this part may seem very nitpicky, but it's a pet peeve of mine. The forum is clearly titled, each section, so that one knows where to post. This is technically a support issue, not a suggestion. Moving to the support forum.

the other free host which allows it is Angelfire

The author in question was removed from this site first for being under age. As you all know, you must be 18 to access the site. The second time she was removed, it was for unauthorized advertising after she REFUSED to remove the unauthorized ad. We clearly do not allow either. Further, any more posts linking to this author's site and searches will be deleted.

I dunno, I see these more as guidelines rather than hard and fast rules. But then again, I don't write, so I could be off on that.

What Willow said was correct. ANY Mac, you have to hold down "command" not "ctrl", as that key functions for Mac in browsers for multi selection the same way the ctrl button functions in a Windows based machine.

Haggishunter, Follow the links in my post a couple above this. That'll answer your questions.

added. I'm sure you could keep going. HOWEVER, if I don't make you comply with what everyone else has to do, that wouldn't be good either.

Dani, The rule is 5 links to pre-existing stories posted to the topic.

I just now noticed where this was, so I do have to move it. I expect I'll go through this forum later. As to where your hp topic would go, that would be here. If you want to know exactly where something goes in the forum, I'm actually the best one to ask. Or Apollo.
