I can't say I'm going to complain about one of the main actors . Sizzle (the blond plays Rand al' Thor in Wheel of Time): https://www.imdb.com/video/vi4031365401?ref_=nmvi_vi_imdb_7 I tried a couple of times to get into the book, but was always distracted before it could hook me. The trailer looks interesting, at least. (so does the one for Just Friends. lol)

I'm not sure all of these secrets getting out is a good thing. Apparently I have more code to tweak. as for the test server badge, I have it on good authority that you aren't supposed to cross the streams... and the badge on the test server crosses the Google stream...

Question: How do I select the correct Genre? Short Answer: Read the Genre description page and choose the correct genres. For further strategies, read full post. View full question

The original post was vague enough that the staff of the site wasn't sure if it was a grammar thing or a specific content thing. At the same time, we have regular contacts with people that object in one way or another to stories. I chose to address both possible issues with my post. I never said you did. This is a public post that is trending on the site, so everything I wrote wasn't in direct response to you. As with much of the things I do on site, it is to address multiple issues at once. I also gave a broad answer because your post wasn't specific. It could be, and was, read in multiple ways which is why I was alerted to the post and responded the way I did.

This is a subject that comes up from time to time and is inherit in any place that has more or less open posting of content. For me personally, I can forgive a whole hell of a lot of issues in a story if it has interesting characters and interesting events in an interesting setting. I'll take 100 grammar disaster stories that have those elements than a grammar perfect story that can be summarized as "The paint dried. Slowly." @Cia is at the opposite end and will chase you with a red pencil until every participle stops dangling. So everyone has different tastes and different priorities. And those change depending on mood, time, and your age as you grow and change as a person. Your favorite story at age 10 is probably not your favorite story at age 20. There are two sides of quality control on stories as I see it. Grammar and Content. You have to be at least coherent grammatically to get out of the Moderation Queue. We also require you to build up story reputation through reactions before an author is cleared from our moderation queue. You would be shocked and dismayed at some of the stuff that never makes it up on site. *shudders* Content. This is the story part of the story. Stories are meant to be entertaining or to provoke thought or both, typically. Psychologically speaking, humans are hard-wired for stories. It's how we learn, grow and pass information to each other. When reading, some people like to read and reread old favorites. Comfort stories. Others like exploring new grounds and new things. Still others, want to explore difficult topics from different directions. Stories are what allow this to occur. Exploring "what ifs", even the uncomfortable ones. This brings us to the restricted or limited content and taboos. Outside of some hard limits imposed upon us by the hypocrites at Google, which our site rules are based on, my personal approach is "as long as it is properly labeled and rated" we should minimize interference and allow it to exist. And if you don't like it, don't read it. Site surveys and read data do show sex is quite popular in stories. We require some semblance of plot instead of allowing straight out dedicated erotica. If you want that, Nifty.org is an excellent resource. Other subjects are "taboo" and explore, through story, difficult topics. There are stories on the site that push all sorts of rules and boundaries. But that is rather the point of the thought provoking stories. Whether or not you wish to be provoked on said subject is down to personal taste. We do ask that authors properly label their stories with appropriate notes and trigger warnings where appropriate. And we ask that readers respect those notes or alert staff to the need for more notes if they are lacking. The report feature can be used for this. What you should most certainly NOT do is report a story after interpreting the rules for the site staff by saying "This story violates the rules and needs to be removed." It's not your business. We do not tolerate the book burners here. Whether they are the Christian Fundamentalists of my youth blocking gay books from stores and libraries or the blue haired vagina equipped males with a birth name of Karen doing some Twitter Warrior bullshit, the answer is the same. "If you don't like it, don't read it!" And again, if you walked into some content that wasn't properly labeled that does genuinely disturb you, it is appropriate to report the story politely so that staff can add the additional information to the story.

They did It wasn't bad. it certainly had the stars in it. They made the series better and a bit more grounded. I do have it on DVD.

The patch is in place and all stories that I'm aware that weren't showing, including two of mine, are now showing again. So far as I know, this odd bug has been patched for the immediate while a long term fix is in process.

All stories are still in the system. There is a bug where they are not all listing when you click on the author. It has been reported to our programmer and will be corrected as soon as we can.
