Hi there, First, congratulations on being published! Which publisher are you with? Second, no, you can't leave any of it up, as it constitutes a teaser. However, you CAN put in your profile that (story title) is now published, move the tumblr link to the spot provided for it, and for your website link, link to your author page at your publisher.

In the archive, you link to a stored image. For example, you have the image stored at photobucket, imgur, or any other such site. You copy/paste the path to the image file, in to the space provided for it.

I have to agree with archon. Some things, as you said, are appalling. But it's not the writing that is appalling, it's the subject matter. Despite that, I STILL read through because you're a good writer and make wonderful word pictures.

I am so sorry to hear this witchie dear.

A donation won't help speed things up. Slowing things down IRL for some of us is what will make things go faster.

As this is an American web series, it'll go to the cartoon subdomain. Added.

It's an honest mistake, so I see no harm in it staying where it is.

It wasn't a link that was posted, it was a story sharing request (as in a COPY). That's what we don't allow. We're quite clear on that.

When an author removes a story for publication, if it starts life as fanfiction, it's reworked to remove any references to the fandom it started in. At least, that's the usual practice. You are right, however, in that if the author published it as is, it WOULD be unable to be published due to copyright violations.

Please read that. We do not allow passing around of stories here.

The email is hidden for your protection, unless you actually put it in the bio section of your profile. The reason for that, is to avoid spam bot harvesting.

no prob! I'll likely be hollering to pick yer brain, and anyone else who wants to toss out ideas at me once I get there anyway

Yes you can, and link to it in your story as well. The best part about these, is you don't have the author note limitations as you do in a chapter. You can be as wordy as you want to be. Plus, your users don't need a login to converse with you in your topic.

I'll very likely do something like that once we get there for sorting. We're not there yet, not by a long shot.

It's always great to see new people come on board. Just remember a few things, if you would: This archive is ACTIVELY moderated If you get something on your review board from staff, please remember it's not an attack, it's something that needs fixed for Terms of Service compliance. We have oodles of FAQ to help you to use the site If you have any questions, you can email staff at any time, or post it to this forum, General Staff Questions. Other than that, glad to have you! Happy writing!

pls explain what you mean

Well, for my part, I know for certain my creativity does not lie with the written word. It goes in other directions. That's okay though! We all have things we're good at. Writing is NOT one of mine.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome all the new users we're seeing daily! Glad to have you here! Please do familiarize yourself with the Terms of Service and Content Guidelines. This IS a moderated archive. Moderation Status (2014) Updated monthly. June and July reports (click the links). Dribs, Drabs and Doggy Tales Current weekly prompt is here Current monthly prompt is here Funding Status As always, we appreciate and thank everyone who can donate. It's certainly not required of the users, but every little bit helps! Staff Added Story tags Some users will find that their older stories will have tags added. I don't do this for all stories, only the ones we find during clean up, which either need tags which did not exist at the time of posting, or were added a long time ago with insufficient tags. It's silly of us to email the user to fix it after years of it being like that. So, in those for instances, and ONLY those for instances, I fix them. Once I add them, please don't remove them. Duplicate postings due to rewrites We are very much aware that as authors grow and learn, that he or she may want to revise a story entirely, and post a new version. When this happens, please notify staff that there will be a posted rewrite of an older story, so that it doesn’t get deleted as a duplicate. At that time, you will also be asked when it will be okay to merge the two stories, as you are ultimately only allowed ONE copy of a story in the archive. By merging the stories, the author retains the hits from the original, ratings and reviews, as they are all moved over to the new upload. Unlogged in reviewing When adding a review where you have not logged in, there is a required field for your email address. As it is a TEXT field, we simply require some form of input. An email address would be nice, however, we also understand that some users would prefer not to leave one. In that for instance, simply input the word "private", instead of your email. Search Forums We often have users who post looking for copies of stories that the authors themselves have downed. We do not allow the forum to be used in this manner. Authors have their own reasons for removing their work from the internet. Please RESPECT this decision when it has been made. When we come across topics of this nature, they are either deleted, or the content removed with a staff addition as to why the content was removed. Collaborator’s forum We have a forum specifically to post your needs for collaborative efforts. You can find that here. Co-author requirements When posting a work which is co-authored, we do need you to provide us with the other author or authors email addresses. This is kept confidential, and is for our records. Posting another person’s work We see two different ways of this happening, quite often. One is with permission of the author. The other is without permission. NEITHER are permissible. The most COMMON reason another author will give permission for someone else to post their work here is because they are too young to do so themselves. When posting a story by someone else without their knowledge or permission, you are committing plagiarism. Tech Bits Transitional tasks- These are functions that normally the user would do, but while parts of the software are still the old stuff, it falls to me. Anonymous reviews turned on/off – The default is to disallow. I run a query daily to ALLOW them. If you DON'T want them enabled for you, email me and I'll make the adjustment. Old format profile – This is currently inaccessible for user edits. Users can only edit the new profile. So, if there is information in your old style profile that you want gone, again, email me and I will take care of it. Tech support, directions given Just to reiterate, when I email out step by DIRECTIONS on how to do something, that is exactly what they are. Not suggestions, but directions. If followed as stepped out, it works very well. This means that the user must follow them in the order the steps are given. Center login boxes The boxes are intended for use for activation and registration ONLY. Once you've activated and/or registered, please logout, then BACK in, using the boxes at the upper right corner of your browser screen. Our FAQ section has much useful information. Having said that, if you're still having trouble, you can either email tech support, or post in the tech support forum. It can take me up to 48 hours to respond, due to real life obligations. Please be patient, I WILL get to you as soon as I can. Please remember that the authors you read do like to hear from you! Leave them a review or two, and let them know how they're doing!
