The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

If anyone has visited my personal website, Chocolate Frog, lately, I'm sure you've noticed the change. I've been transferring the site to eFiction format, and I'm pleased to announce that I've finished transferring all my full-length, finished stories. Everything that was on the HTML version of the site in terms of complete full-length fiction is now on the eFiction version of the site, so it's all set.

I've got three pages of Snape/Lupin stories here, plus a number of Snape/Lupin/other threesomes to choose from here. Also, all of my collaborations with arionrhod are here.

For those following "A Chaos of Deep Passion", it's here - and we're working on the last bit, so hopefully there will be an update soon!

The site is much more organized and easily searchable now, which warms the cockles of my latently OCD heart. Visitors can register as members of the site - although story posting access is restricted - but anonymous reviewing is allowed as well.

I'm not finished; I still have drabbles, Time of Storms, Season of Mists, hosted sequels to "In a Delicate Way", and hosted stories from the Harry/Neville Fest to transfer, but with 198 full-length, finished stories spanning 10 years and 8 fandoms, I think there's enough on-site to keep visitors busy for a while. ;)

Oh - and as usual with eFiction sites, if you don't like the skin I'm currently using (it's called "Samhain" and is the default skin this month for obvious reasons), just go to the little drop-down box at the bottom of the page and pick another one. The same goes for the Snupin Santa Fest archive.

I've seen a couple of complaints about the default skin on the Snupin Santa Fest archive, namely that the colors are too bright, so I wanted to remind everyone that you CAN change the look of the site whenever you want to.

For those not familiar with sites that use eFiction, a "skin" is basically an interchangeable design for the site as a whole. When you go to the Snupin Santa site, the default skin is called "Snupin Santa", but there are two ways to change what you see.

For a temporary switch:
- go down to the bottom of the page (any page, really, but we'll use the main index for our example)
- look for the drop-down box located in the red bar under where it says "Help", "Rules", and "Contact Us"
- click the box. It will show you 6 different skin options
- click the skin you want to change to, et voila. All done. This will only change the skin for that visit to the site, however.


For a permanent switch:
- register as a user
- log in
- click on "Account Info" in the light green bar at the top of the index page
- click on "Edit Preferences"
- look for where it says "Skin" with a drop-down box beside it
- click on the drop down box and choose the skin you want as your default
- click "submit"

After that, you should see the skin you chose when you visit the site as a logged-in user rather than the default skin for the site.

There are 5 skins to choose from other than the default Snupin Santa skin (click the links to preview what the site would look like with that particular skin):

Cobalt
CSS Zen
Event Horizon
Marauders (which is based on the Marauders Map shown in the film version of PoA)
Zenlike

I'm going to be in the chat room for a while. If anyone has questions about their Snupin Santa, wants advice about it, or needs help uploading their story from 2005 or 2006 to the Fest website, feel free to drop by.
