Hey guys just want to let you know that I'm going to be away for a couple of weeks. I'm taking a much needed vacation, starting as soon as I finish posting this :)

To you newbies posting fics that have to be validated, there are mods who will be checking over those things, I hope. I personally check the site throughout the day and night but I cannot promise the mods will do the same, nor will I ask them to. So if you submit something and it takes longer than usual for it to be posted I apologize but I won't be able to to do anything about it until I get back.

As for those who may have an issue with the site, posting fics is the main one, PLEASE READ THE HELP/FAQ PAGES. I promise you you'll find the answer/resolution to your posting problem there. If you email me I will not reply back until I return, so just help yourselves by going to those pages.

Last but not least, I would really appreciate your continued support to help keep the site up and running, without breaking my pockets; ad/sponsor support is greatly appreciated. Donations are appreciated too, but through our ad/sponsor support it costs you nothing out of pocket, just a few seconds of your time. Thank you guys so much. and I'll see you in a couple of weeks. If you're in Orlando I might see you sooner, I'm taking my nephews down to Universal Studios before school starts. Laters!!

A friendly reminder!!
This is a reminder of sorts to 'all' authors who post their stories here. Please, before posting anything take a moment to actually 'read' the site rules. Trust me doing so could save us both a lot of headaches later on. For those who don't know where the rules are, well it's that page that you have to 'accept', 'before' you're allowed to the proceed to the submission/posting page. The rules can also be found on the 'help' page.

I'm going to take a moment to point out what I'm seeing as a problem.

1. The rules about posting Buttons and Banners. The rules states, the award buttons cannot exceed the size of 120x60, and the banners should not exceed 650x250. These rules are there to maintain the layout of the site. When the size of your banners exceed the size of the site's banner it distorts the main body of the site. This really irks me.

2. Everything has it's own place. There's a place for the summary, an Author's Note section where the authors can give their shout outs and thank yous. I've even modded a section so you can add banners to your stories and recently an End Note's section, if you'd like to give a preview about the next chappy or some more shout outs you forgot to mention. SO there's is absolutely no reason for there to be anything in the story area, EXCEPT the story. Much like a book, I personally don't want to read the several pages of dedications the authors put in a book, I like to skim right to page one and start to read, same thing should apply here.

These are the only things that's I'm noticing a problem with and I really want to nip this in the bud before it gets too out of hand, and things start being removed.

One more thing, although it's not officially a rule 'yet', I've notice that some are using things like dashes, or asterisks as dividers or page breaks, which is fine so long as you don't use so many that they too distorts the main body. I'd suggest the < hr > tag. The < hr > tag inserts a horizontal rule, you can find it through out the site, because I use them to separate sections. It's easy because it doesn't require any end/closing tag. You simply use one < hr > tag *w/o spaces* in place of the all the dashes. it's clean, simple, and automatically stays within the boundaries of the main body of the page.

Thanks
