Banners
Hey everyone!

I am making this news post to remind you all about our rule about fan fic banner sizes. What was that rule again? I don't think any of us really know the rule or follow it. A lot of people's banners break our size limit and they aren't obnoxiously large.

But the fact remains that some of you TH fan fic fiends are making your banners pretty freakin' huge. We don't want to impose crazy size restrictions on you, but please use your common sense when making a banner. Anything taller than 300 pixels is probably a big no no, and anything wider than the site layout is DEFINITELY a faux pas.

So, use your head and if you find that your banner has been reduced in size (the work of our generous, unpaid, tireless mod staff) please do not resize your banner back to its previous state. We've resized it for a reason!

Okay, love you guys.

Rainbow, sunshine, and twins,
Cynical_terror

Site Problems
Hey all!

As you have noticed, we're having some extreme difficulties with the site. We're going to be experiencing downtime off and on, and we ask that you please remain patient with us. We're working as hard as we can on it.

Also, we want to ask you to clear your browser history and clear all cache/cookies on your browser. You can do this by going into "Tools" and then depending on your browser, either "Internet Tools", Options, Clear History, etc. It depends.

Thanks for your patience!!

Challenge #2 Famous Last Words REVEAL!
Hey everyone!

The reveal for the "Famous Last Words" challenge has been made! Please visit the challenge HERE to check out who wrote what. Let us know if you find any mistakes in the reveal (hey, we're human! sorta).

Unfortunately, because of low voter turnout, we were not able to pick any winners for this challenge. I think this challenge was a success, however, as so many of you went totally out of your comfort zones to write for this challenge.

Let's make the next challenge even better, okay? Hopefully we'll have more user participation! As a little teaser for the next challenge, I'll give you its title: Fandom Remix.

Some of you may know what that is! We'll most likely be posting more about it in the coming weeks.

News, news, and new things
Alohaaaaa

You may notice, if you use the BURNT layout, that we have a new banner. We want to thank Lynn, AKA Buyyouadrank, for making us such a beautiful banner. Thank you!!

Also, cynical_terror wanted to keep the Gustav birthday banner up for the rest of the year, but I fought her until she crumbled. Sorry Gustav, maybe next year.

Contact Us~
Okay so I know things have been confusing with our Contact email. We had to move things around so that notifications would go through, and I think we're finally making some positive progress with that.

HOWEVER, we are now still using thfiction@gmail.com. I know we said it changed, but our gmail account is way too integrated into too many things to lose it. So please contact us with any questions regarding the site at thfiction@gmail.com!

Also, we have a new CONTACT US form that you can you use, just up there.

Lastly, we'll be posting the winners of the Famous Last Words Challenge shortly, and will be announcing a new challenge.

Bonne journée!

Notifications Being Sent to SPAM
Hello again!

I want to ask for you all to please bear with us right now as we try and figure out the notification issues. If you are suddenly not receiving notifications, you will need to check your spam/junk folders, as the notifications are most likely being sent there. It happened to me, so it will most likely happen to you.

Go into your spam/junk mail and mark the notifications as NOT SPAM. You need to train your spam filters to not send our mail to these folders.

Our new email address, for the time, is admin@tokiohotelfiction.com, so if you get mail from that, it is not SPAM, it is our new address.

PLEASE let me know if you receive notifications when you haven't before, even if you find them in your SPAM. If we don't see any improvement in the notifications, we'll be switching our site email back.

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

We've done some poking and prodding with the notifications, and after talking with our webhosts, we think we may have solved the issue. If you haven't received notifications in the past, please let us know if you now receive notifications. We need your help to figure out if our changes worked.

Thank you!

Happy Birthday, cynical_terror!
Happy birthday to cynical_terror. It's her big day today and I want everyone to wish her a happy birthday. :)

She's my co-admin, my partner in crime, my extremely talented co-author, and she owns half of this site. She does so much for the THF community both with her stories and leadership, not to mention her endless creativity, and I hope today is very special for her.

I'm featuring three of her stories for the day, so please check them out if you haven't yet!

Happy birthday, cynical_terror.

Famous Last Words Challenge Update
Hey everyone!

All submissions for our "Famous Last Words Challenge" are now in. We received around 25 submissions for this challenge, so thank you to everyone who participated!

We will be posting the submissions starting Monday. The submissions will be up for about a week or so and then voting will begin. Because of member concern, this round the stories will be posted randomly and not in any order. We'll try to give all of the stories enough time to be read so the voting is fair.

Thanks again for your participation!
