Site Down Time
We did have some down time this weekend due to hackers. Please note that if anyone finds these hackers, let The Captains know so that we may feed them to the penguins that took over the Pitch a few weeks ago. Those penguins are becoming very restless and the noise is really driving making The Captains more crazy -- which is not a good thing.
If you're still having any difficulties accessing the site, please contact The Captains. |

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. |
