Yaoi...and Why It Isn't A Good Thing...
DemonGoddess replied to TurtleHermit's topic in Personal Rants & Journals
THAT part of your original post said all I ever really needed to see about your intent. Someone ending an opening post in a topic like that is WANTING a flame war. I assure you, if it goes to that, I will not be nice. I am more than a little intolerant of someone starting flame wars. I had hoped to see good discussion from this, and for the most part, there has been. So, retract the claws, and discuss this rationally. @NinjaGaijin- As far as I know, there is no intent to restrict content, as there never WAS content restriction. No reason to start it now, ya know? The only restriction I know about there is to properly tag, label, and rate the stories, so the readers have some idea of what they're looking at. As to the bad fics published, we're not here to be elitist and say someone isn't good enough to put up their stuff for public consumption. That's up to the readers to tell the author in review, if you ask me. Think about this, how else are writers going to learn how to improve, if they don't put up the bad stuff too? They gotta start SOMEWHERE, right? So, no...don't see the stories we all know to be horrid going away. I'll keep doing like I always do with those, which is to skip 'em, thanks. Don't need to punish my eyeballs -
Like I said, my big thing isn't so much words as a descriptive, but words used wrongly. Or the use of "unwords". THAT really gets me.

It should be gone now.

LOTS older (in my case at least)

The Higher Levels Seem To Be Heading For Outer Space....
DemonGoddess replied to Calanthee's topic in ipBattlePro
yes, it's because of your level. -
Yes I've seen the behavior. I've been using the skin as I've been designing it. And as I said, it's the hover setting.

*sighs* The last one is being the worst one for converting. 30+ hours into the conversion, and have to do yet some more FIXES in the database before the damn forum is ready to go live. --I'm ready to pull my hair out at this point--

How Long Have You Kept Up A Metaphor/analogy?
DemonGoddess replied to DarkInuLord's topic in Aimless Babble
I thought it was funny too. -

Yaoi...and Why It Isn't A Good Thing...
DemonGoddess replied to TurtleHermit's topic in Personal Rants & Journals
Agree with what Rosemarius said. @haruha_raharu The disorganization overall in the archive is a real problem. We are certainly aware of it. We're also working on a way to fix it. However, that's not as easy as you might think. Once we have everything in place to start moving stories around in the archive (in a manner similar to the way we can move topics around in the forum), we will be doing exactly that. The new working structure is already hashed out, but we need the tools to implement all this. The tool creation for this IS in progress (among many other necessary things being done). You are looking at literally THOUSANDS of stories spread across 22 subdomains that must be gone through so they can be properly categorized. That's a whole lot of work ya know. Once that's all done, it'll be very easy for those of you who dislike slash/yaoi to avoid it entirely. Think about it. A category that says either slash or yaoi is one you'd never click on, if you don't like to read the subject matter. Pair specific categories would be listed below the pairing/story type, so that can be avoided entirely as well. As to whether or not a particular user tags his/her stories in a way to make it so that one knows definitely it IS a same sex pair story, is on the user, not the archive program or the admins and mods. It is the user who inputs the data and makes the form choices when uploading after all. @TurtleHermit Obviously we do not restrict who uploads what, and in what quantities here, as to pairing type. THAT is up to the individual author. If the author chooses to write het, that is his or her choice. If the author chooses to write slash/yaoi that is ALSO his or her choice. You will find in the archive subdomains, for the most part, they all do have a subcategory specifically for m/f or m/m or f/f etc. The only ones where you don't really see this are the subdomains such as cartoons, anime, and books which have literally hundreds of subcategories, aimed at specific titles. So in those, sure, you have to look in the description to see what the story is about more carefully. As to the bad writing you mention? You find that in any category. On any fan fiction site. -
I searched the archive (by both author and story) and that is not a story nor author here. Sorry.

select quills from the skin selector. I've finished it up.

Post your nightmare story in originals, I would think. Provided its all your own OC's and whatnot.
-
If you want to use it, you scroll to the bottom of the forum to the skin selector. Select the "quills" skin.

As long as you're over 18 when you publish it here, it doesn't matter what age you were when you published it elsewhere before.

yep, that's what those are. Well, you can use 'em in the casino, you pay 10 points to play a game in the arcade, you can buy things in the store, there's all kinds of things you do with 'em.
-
hehe don't get used to it yet, not quite done with the skin. It's not going to show up here in a bit.
-
it's upgraded, let me know if there continues to be problems with the bank, or other things.

Considering how I normally sleep, it is inevitable that I occasionally crash and burn. Did that yesterday. Slept for 9 hours straight. Which is more than twice what I normally do.

Happy birthday my young friend!

Reference this topic. It's installed and set up. The only places where I have not enabled it, are where I've allowed guest posting. To fully participate in forum, your birthday MUST be entered in the forum db. If it is not, from this point, you have to email/pm me to have me change it, as you no longer can.
