Hey guys! I just added a new skin to the archive. It's called Rendezvous. It looks exactly like the "Kiss" layout, except the colors are different.

You may recognize it as a layout I used on the fansite when it first opened. You know I don't like to throw anything away, lol. Enjoy!

Hey guys, just a heads up!

I may change the categories again. I just realized that there are factors of Harry Potter that I never took into account and the current categories are way too braod. Some of the categories may stay as is, but don't be surprised if you come back and find 3 new ones added. I don't know when this will happen or if it even will, but know that I'm thinking about it.

If you disagree or have any ideas, let me know.

Hey everyone! It's been months since I've had anything to say. Way too quiet, I think, so I finally got up off my ass and added 2 new skins to the archive.

You'll probably notice them as they are images I've used before. "Dark" was from the first skin I used here pre-upgrade and "Kiss" is from a layout I used on Bittersweet Symphony. Yea, I don't like to throw anything away. I'm a pack rat.

I actually have one more that I need to add, but that can wait a bit. It's 5 in the morning and I'm tired as hell. lol. Enjoy!

Okay, so here's the new skin as promised. It's a hellava lot more user friendly than the last one. Though, I will be fixing it and then re-adding it to the site later on down the road. This skin is called Crush. I have removed all the defaults, so this is the only one right now.

I have also added a shoutbox and I've turned on anonymous reviewing again. We should not get any spam this time as we now have capatcha. So, we'll see how that goes. If you guys have any comments or questions just leave them here or contact me personally. Until next time.

Hello everyone! The site has a new look for the moment. It's only temporary seeing as I upgraded the archive to 3.3. So, until I'm able to create a new skin, you have 3 defaults to choose from.

Please log-in and make sure that your stories are loading okay and that they are correctly formatted. I'm sure that you will notice that uploading and editing stories are easier now that we can use tinyMCE. I encourage you to take advantage of this.

I've also changed the categories. You need to make sure that your stories are in the right categories. I moved a couple around earlier, but for the multi-chaptered works it was difficult deciding where to put them. So, check these asap.

Contact me if there are any problems or if you have questions!

Hey guys! Well, I had to do it. I had to turn off the anonymous reviews. For those of you who didn't want this, I apologize, but I had no choice.

I didn't open this archive so that authors could be harassed by spammers. I wanted to get all the H/C lovers together in one place and for the moment this is the only way to keep that goal alive. The anonymous reviews already here will remain, but there will be none in the future.

But maybe it won't such a bad thing. We'll see.

Thank you Jayson for bringing this to my attention!

For those of you who have fallen prey to the endless SPAM, please know that I have now given you the right to delete your reviews.

You may find it tiresome to delete every review one by one, but for now it's the only option we have. I could always just turn off all anonymous reviews but the majority of them are, in fact, anoynmous and I don't think we authors would appreciate losing such great reviews. So, until efiction comes up with a better solution, we'll just have to delete one by one.

by Niya on 26 Sep 2006 2:06 pm

Okay, I went ahead and added a challenge. It's the first challenge ever posted on this archive and it involves one of my very favorite fanfiction themes, so if you're in the mood to write something - well, you know what to do.

by Niya on 19 Sep 2006 3:31 pm

Okay, so I managed to get the skin up. I made a few changes to it and I have to say I like it better than the first. I'm still working on a few things (terms of service, submission guidelines, help) and I'm aiming for the end of the week for those.

I will be adding a challenge, you know, just to get the creative juices flowing. So look out for that. I've added characters to the drop down menus, so you now have that option. If there is a character that you want added to the list, contact me and I'll get on that right away. Well, that's it so far. I'll update you as I go :D

by Niya on 16 Sep 2006 6:37 pm

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to upgrade. I was having problems and eventually I took a break before going back to it, but everything seems to be working. If anyone has fanfiction up, please log-in and make sure everything is working properly. If you come across any problems, email me so that it can be fixed immediately.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I deleted 2 categories. At the moment they're really not needed, but it's not premanent. I will re-add them when/if the demand calls for it. I'm in the process of re-installing the original layout so it should be up sometime this week.

by Niya on 27 Jul 2006 11:01 pm

Okay, pretty much until I upgrade the script, in order to view other author's profiles, you need to be logged out. If it still doesn't work, then wait a minute and then try again later. I did it and it worked for me. So, again, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm going to get right on that upgrading ASAP :D

by Niya on 27 Jul 2006 4:51 pm

I don't know if any of the new authors have noticed, but the author pages aren't working. If you click on an author it takes you only to one author, any and every time. I don't know why it's doing that. I'll work on the problem, but you guys can continue sending in submissions until I get it fixed.

by Niya on 27 Jul 2006 3:42 pm

Okay, I can finally say that the archive is open for submission!!! I've been working on it for so long and I'm happy that I can sit back and relax for a minute. But, because this is my very first archive I know that's not true. lol. If you have any problems and suggestions, you can leave them here for me to sort out. It might be a little too early for this, but there is a chance I will be looking for moderators in the future. I was thinking one for each category, but I will keep you guys informed on this decision. Once the archive gets set up and we have a decent amount of submissions, I'll start making up challenges for you guys. If you have suggestions for those as well, send those in too. Okay, that's it. Happy submitting!

by Niya on 23 Jun 2006 3:05 am

Basically, I'm all letting you know what's going on WHILE I'm still doing it. This way it keeps you updated and shows you that I'm not sitting on my ass and doing nothing. lol. At the moment I'm adding the skin to the content pages, so everything seems to be looking good.

by Niya on 05 May 2006 7:52 pm

I've finally installed eFiction. I figured that waiting was ridiculous and I wanted to open this archive as soon as possible. So, I'm not exactly finished, but for now it's duable.
