Reasons behind this website and FAQ
Reasons
Once upon a very long time ago, I decided to build a website. I put silly things on it, like my favorite song lyrics, links to fun pages, and some of my original poetry. (Angsty, gothy, and very bad. Hey, I was fourteen, what do you expect?)
Then I started writing fanfic, and that sort of exploded.
Basically, this website is a storage space for all of the junk I've amassed over the past eight years of my involvement in online fandom. And it doesn't even have everything posted yet. If you're interested in the nonfiction details of my life, or are seeking original fiction works, go to my livejournal. But be forewarned, I do not friend everyone who friends me. Commenting often and having an interesting enough personal life to catch my attention helps, as does actually talking to me on a fairly regular basis.
Why did you move your website?
Two reasons: I was running out of space on my Geocities account (as in, I had none left), and said Geocities account frequently crashed because of bandwidth excesses. I see you go O.o but remember that the indexes for my most popular fanfics have very big title images.
Will you host my stuff?
Only if it's a gift for me, or a co-produced project. Websites are free and easy to design, go make your own.
Can I get webspace on nocturnalsoldier.org?
The owner's policy is to only give webspace as presents to close friends. Sorry.
Will you write me a fic?
Nope. Gift-fics are precisely that, presents. And even when I do write them, it usually doesn't get finished until six months after the initial occasion. While I will take requests for the Wet drabbles, those are an extremely long time in production.
I saw your story on another website and I don't think they got your permission to post it, what should I do?
Contact me immediately. I have had problems with plagiarism before, multiple times, and I rely on you guys to find out new instances of it.
Why aren't you on ff.net anymore?
My account was hacked into and all of my stories (and over a thousand reviews) were destroyed. The hackers changed the password, so I can't get in. Xing, the webmaster at ff.net, did nothing about the problem, though it happened to others, and he received many emails about it from myself and others. I refuse to use his services again. Also, with all the rampant abuse going on, and the lack of explanations from the ff.net staff, it's really not worth the bother. I'm sure any fics I posted would immediately be deleted.
What's with all the slash?
It's fun, and not everything I write is slash. Or brainmelty. But I do like to combine the two.
I'd like to host/link to some of the fanart on your page. What should I do?
Contact me, and I will contact the original artist. You will need their permission.
I'd like to host your fanfics on my webpage. May I?
Contact me, and we can discuss it.
How do I contact you?
Through my eljay, email (mjalta@yahoo.com), or AIM: Edmondia
