Deleted after correct disclaimer

[Guest Death_Goddess_Umeko]

I corrected my disclaimer and my story still got deleted. I'am not happy about it. I did what was asked and I'm shocked to find my 12 chapter fiction missing. Can the admin fix this or is it gone forever?

So we can provide more information, can you please provide us with your pen name and fandom that this occurred in?

[Guest Death_Goddess_Umeko]

It was an original fiction (darkfic) my pen is Death_Goddess_Umeko. I hope this mess can me cleared up, it would be very much appreciated.

The story appears to be fanfic - referencing well-known fictional characters (such as Alucard from Hellsing). It was deleted on the basis that it was misplaced.

I almost deleted it Saturday, myself, when I was checking for corrections.

What made me think that it was very much AU and OOC was the character names. (Alucard specifically) But, I wasn't entirely sure, which is why I didn't delete it then.

You're welcome to re-upload if we deleted in error, as in it's truly an original fiction and NOT what I described above.

Over time, we've seen authors go that route before, where it's so OOC that it doesn't fare well in its proper category as fanfiction, so it gets uploaded to originals instead. In which case, we do delete, as originals is supposed to be for original fiction.

In any case, if we deleted in error, I do apologize.

I see. The name Alucard is common though and this was not ment to associated with Hellsing. It would have been stated if that was the case. It's not the same character. So if the admin will kindly bring back my story corretions can be made. I'll just have to state that the character Alucard isn't from Hellsing.

Deletion is permanent. As the archive runs from a database, when a record is deleted, it's gone.

...I always thing of Castlevania when I think Alucard, he's been in some of those games for a long time. Not ever having seen Hellsing probably helps there. I got interested enough to look it up, and it seems (well, as far as I looked) that the first usage of Alucard "as a vampire's alias was in the 1943 film Son of Dracula, starring Lon Chaney, Jr."

TV tropes has some other usages as well:

It's funny how far back something like that can go isn't it? Good think Dracula sounds cool when reveresed. It's a narrow escape as Stoker originally intended to use the old Romanian name Reknaw for his famous character.

[DemonGoddess]

yep, Alucard applies as a character name in the movie you're referencing, Castlevania, and of course, Hellsing. Main characters in ALL of them.

[Guest Death Goddess Umeko]

So if that name is changed can the story be re-posted without issues?. I was thinking of re posting it but I'm not sure if it's against the rules or not.

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.
