Once upon a time, November started, and DG realized this signaled the start of NaNo. What she did not realize was that this meant November started, and she was supposed to change the features. That's why this is late. Sorry, guys! |D;;

On a related, but no less important note, before we get to features: the queue for submitted stories is really, really long at the moment, for a number of reasons. We're still getting lots of submissions, and with the start of November, a few of the mods are probably doing NaNoWriMo, a giant time-eater. (You should do it too. It's a good experience, gives you something be proud about, and is a good use for all those ideas floating around your head. It also gives us less work if you're too busy writing a novel to post anything.) Add that to the normal load of schoolwork, and it bears repeating that stories may take as long as two weeks to be validated, maybe longer, though we haven't reached that point yet. To help speed things along, a quick reminder of the rules: if you're not a validated author, do not submit the next chapter of a story before the previous chapter has been validated. Also, as a general guideline, if you feel your story has been in the queue for a long while, it might be a good idea to review it again and fix any errors you find; if it's sort of borderline, it's likely to hang around in the queue longer.

After that entirely too long speech... featured stories! The theme for November is non-reader-inserts~

Blood of the Moon by kniferomance
Hope's Demise by Kitsuchan
Ordinary Escape by Tsula
Running, Returning - A Yamato Story by Silver-Serenade
The Sexy Jutsu by Miri_Ryu

Questions, comments, complaints, pointing out stupid errors on my part, or throwing tomatoes for the late post go here or in the forums. I like tomatoes. 8D

All site e-mails have been disabled. Look, if you don't want to receive any e-mail from us:

TURN IT OFF IN YOUR SETTINGS.

Because someone couldn't just turn them off, I am now having to convince my host we are not spammers. Thanks!

 

Edit (Oct 07): No one broke anything but me more than likely. ^_^; Favorite alerts and review alerts should be disabled, but it looks like it did nothing but force everyone to redo their e-mail settings. Which means I probably did something.

Yes, it was a member who complained which is why I said "Change your settings." I've banned them and will be removing all reason for them to receive future e-mails.

 

EDIT #2: Mods, please check the message board. I need a little info, por favor. ^_^
