Check Your Characters
We've discovered that a few characters changed their identities in the upgrade to eFiction 3.3. If Severus Snape, Nymphadora Tonks, Parvati Patil or Pansy Parkinson are characters in any of your fics, please double-check and verify they haven't decided to change personas. Snape has become Augustus Rookwood, Tonks has become Professor Sinistra, Parvati has become Abraxas Malfoy, and Pansy has become Ernie Macmillian. If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact The Captains. |
