Sileya's stories

I thought I'd address this here since I've received a few emails on the subject and I'm sure that some of you who are reading this are also wondering what happened.

As you may have noticed, Sileya's stories are no longer being archived here. Unfortunately, they will not be back on my site, at least not that I know of. I just want to say that Sileya took them down for personal reasons that had nothing to do with this site or with me because she and I have always had a great relationship. Actually, one of those reasons is that some of her stories have been published (with different names for the characters, of course), so this is wonderful news.

I totally respect Sileya's decision even though it saddens me because she was one of the best authors in the Karl fandom and a personal favourite. Her work will surely be missed...

Registration is back

The registration page was not functioning for a couple of weeks I think and I apologize for that. I called my web host yesterday and worked things out with them (it was merely a question of upgrading the type of database I use). It took a whole 2 minutes to get the site back on track. Everything is back to normal now and anyone who would like to register can do it without any problems.

Some tips about text size, printing and warnings

Hello my lovelies.

I just thought I'd let you know about a very handy feature available when you're reading a story. Some of you may have already spotted it but if you find the default font to be too small, you can enlarge it by clicking on the "+" sign located right next to "Text Size" in the upper right corner of the story. And if you would like to have a story in print format, you can do so by clicking on the printer icon located right below "Table of Contents".

Also, I just wanted to mention that the warning "Het" doesn't have to be added to a story that's already categorized as Het. Same thing for the warning "Slash" with a Slash story. The reason why I added those warnings in the first place is for stories which involve both. Sometimes a story will be predominantly Het but will have a couple of Slash scenes in it (or vice versa). That's when the warnings should be used, so the reader knows that they shouldn't expect the story to be entirely Slash or entirely Het. Hope this helps clearing up the confusion.

And just remember that an author should NEVER have to put a Het warning on a Het story anyway... It's not because Het seems to be a dying breed in fanfiction that we should apologize for writing and/or reading it. Which reminds me that some fabulous Het stories have been submitted here over the past month or so and I'm really thrilled because it will help bringing the balance back with Slash. So keep those Het stories coming, ladies! :-D
