Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed, we have a new default layout. We want to thank Lynn (buyyouadrank) for designing the beautiful graphic, and we hope that you all will like this change. If you liked the old layout (jelly) better, you can change jelly to your default skin by going into Account Info and then Edit Preferences. :)

Also, you can switch between our burnt, jelly, and work layouts by using the drop down menu on the left side of the main page, under the log-in information.

On a different note, we have now turned off story update notification, and have added a Fic Tracking system to the website. If you go into Recent, you will see that by every story, there is an option to track it. You only have to select Track this Story to put fanfic on your tracked stories list. You can view your tracked fanfics in the "Browse By" menu under "Tracked Stories", or by clicking it underneath the log-in information on the right hand side of the main page.

As an additional bonus, there is now a Most Tracked Story in the Top Tens. At the moment, we do not think that you can see how is tracking your stories, but we are working on figuring out how to put this into your account info. :)

Please continue to favorite stories and authors that you consider to be your personal favorites. If you have stories in your favorites right now that are only in there for means of being notified when it updates, please consider removing it from your favorites and tracking it instead. You will no longer be receiving email updates for your favorite fanfics. So, if you want to know when your favorite stories update, you should visit your Tracked Stories page every day to check. It will tell you the date of when you last read the story, so you'll know if you've missed an update!

We're sorry if this isn't as convenient as the email notification system, but our server just couldn't handle the weight.

This does not mean that you'll stop receiving email alerts when you get new reviews or review responses. :)

Please let us know any problems you have with this system, and if you are enjoying the new layout and fic tracking system, please let us know! It's always good to hear positive feedback for what we're doing. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

EDIT: We realized, after turning email notifications off, that while you can track stories with our new system, you can't track authors. We, personally, love being notified when our favorite authors update but by turning notifications off, we will no longer have this option. We turned email updates back on for the time being until we can figure out how to make it so you only get notified when your favorite authors update.

PLEASE DO NOT favorite something if you only mean to track it, and remove favorites that are not really your favorites, but you meant to track. If you do this, it will lighten our server load, and we can keep email updates.

Thank you!
