Happy Monday, and happy February, too. =D Once again, before featured stories, a quick reminder from the mods: if you post in the forums with a question or a request, please please please make sure you're posting it in the right forum! Also make sure the question hasn't been asked before, or if it's a category/character request, there are specific threads for those, too. They exist to keep the forum neat and consolidate related things in one place, so please use them.

...featured stories! The theme for February is ~ROMANCE~.

Carmine by Resurii (Saiyuki, 13+)
Dancing With Prince Charming by Animeangel10632 (Kingdom Hearts, 17+)
Deadly Sin by Timeless_Serenade (Original, 17+)
Jealousy by Dark-heart (Twilight, 17+)
No Prey, No Pay by Butterflyy (One Piece, 13+)
Unrequited by akahey (D.Gray-man, 13+)

Congratulations to these six authors~

Nominations for featured stories for March are now open. Since February has been the month of love and all that, March will be the ANTI-ROMANCE month, meaning stories that do not feature romance as a theme. You can nominate over here on the forums~

As always, questions/comments/complaints go here.

EDIT: P.S. Mods, check the forum. We'd like your input on something. ♥

Hello everyone, and happy New Year~ あけましておめでとう！ ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Bonne année! Felice Anno Nuovo! ...okay, I'm done abusing Google Translate now.

Mods have been discussing modly business, so a couple different reminders this month~ First off, please try to make sure your author's notes, summaries, and titles (chapter and story) also follow basic spelling and grammar rules, not just the content! We won't decline anything based on mistakes there, but it's always nicer to see them done correctly, plus people are probably more likely to read if the summary doesn't have, say, five spelling errors. Another thing: the site does say that all fanfiction in this archive is copyright the owners of the original series, but it never hurts to reiterate that in your own stories. It's a good idea to add a disclaimer in your author's notes or something, if only to avoid potential legal trouble.

Now that I'm done lecturing at you all, features~ The theme for January is the "best of 2009," or stories that were started in the past year.

Congratulations to these six authors~

Nominations are now open for February 2010 featured stories. The theme, I think, will be ~ROMANCE~, since February has a certain day of the year that makes candy sales spike almost as much as Halloween does. If you would like to nominate, please do so on the forum post and read the rules in the first post. Questions/comments/complaints/tomatoes/wishing each other happy New Year in languages I don't know goes here. :D

Hello hello~ You should all be surprised that I actually remembered to do this on the first this time. Once again, before we actually get to announcements, a couple things the mods would like to remind you of:

-Don't post more than one chapter of the same story at a time, before the previous chapter has been approved. If you do, those chapters will be automatically deleted. It clogs up the queue, and if there's a problem with one chapter, it's likely a problem with all of them.

-We do not edit your stories for you. We look at them and, if we decline them, we tell you what to fix. We do not change anything; that part is up to you.

Please guys, don't make me copy/paste this into every announcement. D:

Anyway, without further ado: featured stories for December! The theme is holiday stories.

Christmas Beauty by Ria
No Courage by PlayboyManson
Yuletide Wishes by LatonaSelene
You're All I Want For Christmas by AlchemicBeauty309

Congratulations to those four authors~

Nominations for featured stories for January are now open on the forums; you don't need an account to post. The theme is "best of 2009," or pretty much stories posted in the past year~ More information is located there if you want to nominate. :3
