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.

thankee!

You're welcome. Thank you for complying. You can now safely create another login, and repost your work.

misspelled it. technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org

The domain mail is working. Which email did you attempt to send to?

That author doesn't appear to have made it here yet.

using a scanner.

Scan your ID, and the picture of you holding your ID. Then email to either techicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org, or tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. Once we get a look at it, we delete it. We only need to verify it once, after all.

If that's true, you need to send us proof of age. How we ask you do this, is make a copy of your photo ID, leaving only the birthday information and photo visible. We don't need to know where you live, or what your real name is, and whatnot. Then, you also need to include with that, a picture of you, HOLDING your current ID, both of which where we can clearly see you.

As long as, after going over it, we don't find similarities to, or references to something which would belong more properly in one of the fanfictiion archives, sure.

Actually, we removed YOU. Because we found proof that you're not yet 18. Do not return until after your 18th birthday, or you will be deleted again.

You would've gotten the standard disclaimer warning which is given to everyone. As I've had many people go over it (since I am very, very blunt) to make sure it wasn't rude, I beg to differ. When I get your email, I will process.

In order to process your request, I need you to email at this address with your login information. Unless a guest poster can prove they are who they state they are, I don't process a deletion. As to the disclaimer thing, that's a rule that has been in place since 2004, if not longer.
