Okay, I told everyone already that I made a mistake in a story merge (typo'd my query and didn't see the typo before executing). End result was that the bulk of the reviews ended up attached to one story. So, to fix this, first I had to download the latest (at the time) back up of the entire database. It was either that, or have Nexcess restore the database entirely, which would have downed the entire archive for 3 to 5 hours. It took 30 hours to download the raw db file, as it's enormous. Next was extracting the table data. But first, I had to find a plain text editor which could handle a file bigger than 2GB (the db file is 9GB in raw form, give or take a few hundred MB). Got that, installed it. Next step was to open the file itself. That took about 25 minutes. From there, I copied the table data in to a new .sql file. Keeping in mind I was at roughly 15% complete of fixing the review table data to begin with, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone. As I have to restore this, I may as well fix the scrambled stuff as I come across it as well. Yes, the reviews were scrambled years ago in the big crash as well. With work and other RL obligations, I expect it'll take me roughly 1 to 2 week to finish the restore of the affected reviews to their stories. Thanks again for your patience.

How you determine where your story belongs, is which series of arcs you're writing for. If you're writing for the manga based arcs, you post to manga. Anime based arcs to anime.

Are there already 5 pre-existing stories of this pair in the subdomain?

all but reviews merged. will get to those after Nexcess fixes my goof

Two other things - One, if you're experiencing the above mentioned issue, clear your cache, and it will correct. Two, I inadvertently ran a query where all the reviews in the buffy subdomain are now attached to one story. Not to worry, I have a ticket open with Nexcess to get that table restored, so the reviews will go back to where they need to.

I checked on stopbadware to see if the subdomain was blacklisted. It is not. I also checked in Comodo, and am not getting an error at all.

As the story was based on a movie, it is a fanfiction. That means it did not belong in the original subdomain. That the author wants to post it there anyway, and not comply with placement as to what the thing is, is why it was hidden. The author chose to remove it, rather than post it to the correct subdomain. Fanfiction does NOT get posted to the original subdomain.
