DemonGoddess

I'm off work tomorrow, am hoping to get the forum upgrade done then. Because there is something like 20 versions between this, and the current, the upgrade ALONE will take a few hours. At that point, I'll put up a "board offline" message, which you'll all see if trying to access. I will include in that my start time with an approximate eta of the finish time.

The hosting company is currently investigating the cause of the outage. Once they determine the cause, I can post it here if anyone wants to know why it occurred.

Well, I can have a look in some places, and if I find anything, I'll PM you the links.

We are very sorry, there was a brief interruption in connectivity for both (approximately one hour), due to network issues on the host company's end. The outage started at 12:04 am and was resolved by 12:57am. They have yet to post in their support forum what the problem was exactly, but it IS resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

there are a number of places to look for open source type stuff. Where have you looked so far?

Which sign up page are you referencing?

I would, but I am not a writer. So I'll just read it

Personal rants forum was moved some time ago.....

From what I understand from how foe explained it before I opened up that subforum for it, I believe there's only the one round robin in a continuous topic?

nah, strictly average

Frankenstein - Clutch

PM manta2g (the link to PM her is in the profile I provided) with all the information. What you need to send her exactly in that pm is your original user name and email address, and then the email address that she needs to change it to. As far as that goes, you might also ask her to retrieve your password for you and send that along too.

Okay, just like the Avatar section in the Anime archive then, which also needs addressed at the time we do all the stuff that is planned.

that's the key tho, that is was NOT an AFF story.... foe... well.....your take on it is certainly more palatable than the original, which is ...disturbing to say the least.

Enter Sandman - Metallica

I've actually run across a few of these. Some bring him into the present, some show some future time. There's even a series I read once quite a long time ago where he was going through time to the present, mostly as a soldier as memory serves.

Fade to Black - Metallica (actually listening to all of Ride the Lightning right now)

You're right.

Have no clue. So they are the same then?

hehe thanks, I've been an LotR fan for YEARS and years. Started reading the books when I was around seven or eight.

I use this particular name (without the numbers) for almost all my gaming. Have been for YEARS. As to how I got the name, well.... picture an 8 1/2 month pregnant, EXTREMELY hormonal person (me at the time) and a smart ass twelve year old (my oldest boy). Dunno exactly where or why he came up with it, but...long story short, I was ranting about something (don't even remember), and HE started it. All his fault. In any case, he made me laugh, and I've been DemonGoddess ever since

Thanks!

like I said, not a genius, just a geek those would be primary, with the other standard subcategories, followed by pairings categories. so, there would be an AU section for each primary category. There are also multi age stories (which would also span the books), so I'm thinking there should be something to allow for that as well ANYWAY. Something I've noticed looking through the LotR book section here, is that there are fics that actually belong in the movie section. As we all know, there was a great deal of deviation from book to movie. Combination of characters, elimination of character, twisting of and addition of events (like the Battle of Helm's Deep, no elves in that battle but for Legolas), skipping of entire segments (Tom Bombadil and the Barrowwights come to mind there). I ramble though...it'll be nice to be able to eventually have all that sorted out where it actually belongs as well.

Got to thinking about it, LotR and its universe is unique. There are so many different ways to categorize the whole thing. What I was thinking is of course maintaining where it shows Books and Movies, but in the books section, have a few ways of going about it. For example, could set it up by AGE for books, or by book/book series. Age setup would look something like this pre-trees/trees First Age Second Age Third Age Fourth Age and later Book setup would be something like this Silmarillion History of Middle Earth series The Hobbit Lord of the Rings Trilogy In other words, stories that belong to those specific times/ages or book series would go under those subcats as they are constructed. Bear in mind this is for in the future, you won't be seeing this for a while.
