On an unrelated note congrats to Dream for getting the little red man next to your name :D

If the fanfic wasn't updated.. then that means that you don't get a notice. Unless it has been updated and you havent gotten a notice, there really isn't a problem ebbe.

The ff has been updated, I read about 20+ that all update, and I see them updating I don't receive any e-mails for them updating, I don't receive any e-mails when an author writes to me, and I don't even receive an e-mail when someone replies are added to this topic since I have put the check mark to see if I would recieve an e-mail. I went to my settings and checked if the e-mail reminder box was checked and it is. So I'm at a lost on what to do. Any suggestions?

It's sort of disappointing to know that there are so many people reading my stories but not reviewing. I don't want to be reviewed just because it's nice or anything I seriously want to improve my writing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I'm not getting many reviews. I mean my story can't be that bad.

Make sure you have the right e-mail usage. When you log in, there should be a table of details for your setting. Check to be sure that you have the right e-mail to use and make sure that's the e-mail you're using. Next, go to settings to see that some alerts are not disabled. Like the ones that you need. Then go to...settings and make sure that your Pm'ing hasn't been disabled.

And asking for reviews are on another topic.

I would like to once again say thanks for you help.

I did what you told me, and everything looked right. The e-mail was correct, the story alert was enabled. I'm at a lost, do you happen to know of anyone whom I could contact?

Again thanks for your time

I've just uploaded a story/document but how does it appear in a specific community as a new published story? And how do I insert a rating, word count and so on?

#822 May 17th, 3:55am
otherrealmwriter

You have to go to stories new story and it will ask you for fandom and then take you to a place to fill that stuff in.

#823 May 17th, 10:25am

Thanks. I think it worked. I submitted the story. I guess it doesn't show up right away though does it. B/C I still couldn't find it.

#824 May 18th, 12:29pm

It all really depends on the traffic on the site and such. I mean I had stories take forever to show up but my new one showed up right away.

Where can i find the 2 reviews? i have tried clicking 'anonymous reviews' and it says empty. i have tried clicking delete: read anonymous reviews and it says none. please help! xxx

#828 May 19th, 9:08am

Maybe you just recently got them? I can only think of this one time where I had troll flame reviews that got deleted but they didn't show up. A story of mine that says 3 reviews only really has one.

Roleplay set up

*These names are for the OCs used in the story. If anyone wants to change their name they can. If I'm not here ask one of the mods, they can edit my posts and the name-post. Anyone can recommends their original name is kept only. The for RP are those who are not RPing but in it as characters. The in RP are those who are RPing. Their RPing will be made into a story by their POV and added to the c2 for this.

Mods change names when they change(you can edit the names of every post, yourself)

*There can be mulitple users for each character. Because there are so many users & many users are not equally divided into Star War parts & it won't matter

*Users can be multip characters. Because once again the users-characters is not equally divided or in specific roles.

*Users RP as themselves. Yet they are playing the role of the characters they are.

*No God molding. That's impossible with what's going on anyways. Even for Shadow.(yes that, he's joining)

*The storyline is what is going on right now and before but with a parody of Star Wars. It can't be made up it has to follow the story on FF.net

*A little creativity can be used. Like lightsabers imagary for spam wars and stuff . Though it has to be realisitic. No dying on the internet!

*You can double-triple-quadriple post. This is the forum of lulz. Though don't skip ahead without everyone else's actions if they are required.

& Shadow:

Do not roleplay out of turn in the Roleplay! Relative to the RP posts only Shadow! I mean it Shadow! Do not Engage in Ra!]

[~Roleplay~]

In IGloPalace, Iringleia, was calmly asleep in her turret.

That is until a raid came early in the morning and the IGlo palace was raided. Siete Espadas Rebel Base heard Darthelma Vadereborn's plans through Imass's council.

The Iringleia's message was heard transferred by beam, in the Imass's council.

~ "Your plan won't work. You're going down, Shadowy!"~

Even though Shadith Mass tried to slander Iringleia by falsifying the message to include, "go raid Kaiser's forum instead. He is a troll much like you."

Yet not even Kaiser was fooled when Shadith Mass raided his friend's domain, thinking it to be his. Yet his friend was fooled until Iringleia cleared the truth.

The message was also received by Phoen Wrathfulo, in the Chosen Forum Cantina.

Phoen Wrathfulo planned a counter-raid on Thelema Ultima, to end Thelema Ultima's plans.

~*~

Not too soon afterwards as Iringleia locked down IGlo forum. Kovuk Sky01 appeared with news of Shadithelma Ultima's secret council forum. It was seen Shadithelema Ultima prepared to employ the Secret 9 to aid him in his conquer. Also Princess Iringleia was 2nd on the hit list of Shadithelma Ultima's attack list. Both for his hit list of forums as well as personal targets.

The Chosen Ones Cantina was 1st, IGlo was 2nd, Sieta Espada Rebel Base was 3rd, LongForuEvercant, Gold Star Cloud was 4th, Firepalace of Doom Seethe, the 5th, 6th, and 7th were still 'pending' until it was decided suddenly that DisccusionEndor's Moon would be the 7th target

Shadithemla Ultima claimed the reason why Octavomos Espetiona was 'confirmed' to be the 8th target was because of a message from Iringleia. From an interbeam Iringleia sent to Shadithelma Ultima. Shadithelma Ultima really added more to the beam message Irindiglea left in IGloran to MassofPho.

You won't get away with this, Shadith! You will be thrown down! Attack Archo Nazerrian. He is a troll like you are. Raid in the name of Ra.

Kovuke Sky01 noticed thehit list. "I have to go," he flew back to DiscussionEndor's Moon to prepare.

~*~

Late Kovuke returned with news of Shadithelema Ultima's other plan.

Personal target of primary attack:

Target 1=Phoen Wrathfulo Target 2=Iringleia Target 3=Illusion BeastAri Target 4=Nova Target 5=Flama the Risingut Target 6=Silver-Haired Angel

~*~

Iringleia noticed she and other would face other attacks other than on their forums. She expected another raid.

Being pretty new to this site, and writing fanfics, I had to reply to this post as I have no idea how to make one normally.

I do have a few questions, mainly being, why do most (or all) stories I read, have one line of text, then a space, then other line and then more space? Eg

Blah blah blah

More blah blah

More writing here.

It puzzles me. I was wondering would I get a negative public response if I just wrote a coherate story, buy one paragraph, get one free. (Sorry my bad jokes)

Please reply, thanks :)

#837 May 27th, 7:34am
Darkwinter999

When you add a new chapter it tells you how long you may have to wait. GO to the first page and follow the step-by-step to see if you did anything wrong.

If neither of the above fixes your problem, it may be a site glitch, so PM admin.

You reply to a post to post anything.

Admin thought it would be a great idea to make everything longer by double spacing everything. There is no way around it.

'coherate' is not in wiki, so I have no idea what you mean by that. Unless you mean a parody to make fun of the double-spacing, in which case you are fine so long as it's related to a fandom. Original fics go to Fictionpress.com.

How do I disable my reviews (where the user isn't loged in?)

In your status sheet where you log in click on reviews and then anoyumus and there is a button that says the status of your anoyn reviews, if they are allowed or not. If they are the button will say disable and just click on it and it will disable that.

I'm a long time reviewer (I've yet to get going on any fanfictions... I write mostly original stuff. ;)) and I'm having problems with subscriptions. Basically I have way too many. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to remove a subscription.

Go to "Login", then "Alerts", and disable whatever you want....I think.....

Well, uhm. . I'm totally a n00bie, but I really wanna know. . How do I use break lines in my story? I tried to go to HTML and type in hr , but it didn't show up. . It's really confusing me and frustrating as well. Can you tell me how to do it, please?

#843 May 31st, 3:52pm
otherrealmwriter

I don't think you can do it that way but this is how they recomoned the lines by the homepage:

We do not support dash or other character based section/scene markers. If you wish to create a separation in your chapter, please use the officially supported horizontal line feature in our document editor or in your favorite word program. Using unsupported section markers will only make your entries less compatible to future upgrades. You can create the horizontal lines in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice by typing 3 or 4 consecutive dash/hyphen keys and then hitting enter. The site will correctly recognize these scene breakers when you upload them.

When it shows my stories, why does it repeat the first sentence? Like, for example, this is what it does:

"Max awoke in his cell

Max awoke in his cell. It had been a great dream, a dream of his home. Or was it a memory? It had been so real…

He sat up on his steel bed and gazed passively towards the door. Any minute now the guard would soon be opening the door and....."

I can't fix it, no matter what I do, and it does it to all the chapters so far...

#846 May 31st, 6:28pm
Darkwinter999

Since it's so consitant, you can always claim it's just your writer's signature; to set you apart. If not, PM Xing, it sounds like a bug.

#847 May 31st, 6:38pm
otherrealmwriter

You can also go to the document if you still have it click on edit/preview and change it and then go to the story in stories and click on content/chapters and find the "replace chapter" change things like that that way.

#848 May 31st, 7:14pm
SpiffyBacon

I changed the contents of the chapters slightly, and they registered absolutely no change I made to them. But, through an extremely long and very complicated process, I manged to fix chapters 2 and 3. However, chapter 1 continues to completely ignore any changes I make to it. I'm starting to get beyond frustrated... As an experiment, I made a chapter 4 that had chapter 1's contents on it. It was able register the changes I put to it. However, when I moved it to up to become chapter 1, the changes went away. WHY??????

#849 May 31st, 9:16pm
SpiffyBacon

Wait a minute... It works if I view the chapter in a different window, but it doesn't work if I view the chapter on fanfic.com. That is VERY wierd...
