Hey all we are just over 1 million words away from 10 million. Lets see if we can hit it before the new year. So lets get our muses busy and get new chapters and new stories posted. Yeah!

Hi all! I've noticed that some of you list a Romance category for every pairing that is mentioned in a story. Please keep in mind that the romance categories are for actual romances with interaction between the characters. Mentioning in passing that a couple is together does not qualify it for that category. Please try to place your stories in the appropriate categories rather than seeing how many categories you can place it in.

Also, please only list the main characters in your stories. Do not list every single character that has a single speaking line or is mentioned by someone else. Pick the primary characters to show in the story profile. If the character does not have a major part, they shouldn't be listed.

Come join our LiveJournal Drabble Community! First challenge is on Monday, September 29th!!!


http://community.livejournal.com/iy_fanfiction


If you are a fan of writing drabbles, this is just another place to get your fix (I hope.) Drabble challenges have been plotted until the end of 2008.

--Taiyoukai_Nile on 25 Sep 2008 7:22:25 AM 0 Comments

I am working on the featured function, so hopefully I will have that fixed. Also, I am going to be putting up the Overall Winner on the front page sidebar.




As a reminder, please remember to click the ads. It is free and takes only a moment to do. I may be moving them to the sidebar and reducing that number to only show 3. Not sure on that.




I am still seeking moderators.




Most of the site discussions can be found at the Yahoo! Group. Please remember to go and join: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/inuyasha-fanfiction/




We will be having drabble challenges posted AND we will be putting a new category within the week. Also, I will be revealing a fanart section. This will be off-site at a different domain as I am building a IY based site. A few people have chipped in and some have offered to. I have yet to get to some, but there is a lot coming soon for all IY fans.

You guys are doing a great job over here.  I'm so pleased to see so many great stories, one-shots, and poems. 

I'm a little disappointed, however, in the lack of participation in our Yahoo! group.  We only have 39 members (and we appreciate every one of you).  I was really excited to have our own awards for our site, and I figured with so many members, we would have a great time nominating and voting.  Maybe it's the timing - are you guys too busy, since summer is here?  I can understand that.  I'm rather busy myself (to the point where I haven't been able to write much). 

You certainly can't use lack-of-a-web-address for an excuse, because we have a HUGE button on our homepage that says "Join The Yahoo! Group".  XD  

I hope some of you will consider joining.  If you don't want to vote, you don't have to.  But you're missing out by not joining.  I hope to see some of you in the message boards.  ^^ 

<3 Pita

P.S. Just so you can't say I didn't give it to you, lol: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/inuyasha-fanfiction/

We will be hosting nominations at the site starting July 1, 2008. The link to the nominations page will be revealed on that day.




Rules & Procedure:




1. Nominees are only accepted if their fanfic is posted at InuYasha-Fanfiction.com . This is only for their fanfic. Fanfiction that is nominated will have a graphic posted in the index of the chapters of the story to inform readers that they are a nominee.


2. The fanfic must be posted between August 1 of the previous year to June 30th to qualify. It does not matter that the fanfic was posted 6 years ago elsewhere.


3. Nominators do not have to be a member of InuYasha-Fanfiction.com,
BUT they have to be a member of the inuyasha-fanfiction Yahoo! Group
to be able to contribute a vote.


4. Nominations require a seconding. First nominations are from July 1 to July 10, and second nominations are from July 11 to July 20.


5. Voting will be on July 21 to July 31.

Prepare your Inu Yasha artwork! I am making a section dedicated to this. You can submit by emailing me your work at nile AT inyasha-fanfiction DOT com and including your member name so a link to your profile will be posted next to your work. Do not submit another's work, only yours. Thanks!

Wow! We have reached over 100 stories with more than a million words. A fun filled bit to know is that minimum expectations of a novel are 92,000 words and above. That means we have enough words to equal well over 10 books!




400 plus members and climbing. Thank you for your support in this website since its opening in August. Please keep spreading the word to your friends, even make a mention in your fanfics at other places like Fanfiction.net, Mediaminer.org, AnimeSpiral, and more.




I recently started making ringtones and I will be embarking on a project solely for IYFF to give us our own media section, downloadable ringtones with sounds from InuYasha. :) Sounds exciting, huh?!?




I will possibly be looking into having 2 moderators, so here is what I require of my mods. It is currently a volunteer position, but I expect some dedication. If interested, leave a comment. Here are the requirements:




- No less than 5 hours a month to dedicate to moderating IYFF.


- Check fanfic sections to make sure stories are put in their proper place. Since this site seems flexible, we need to make sure that they are listed properly, meaning you NEED to read the fanfic to determine if they belong.


- If a fanfic is poorly written due to grammatical errors, correct them and email the original author. We want our fanfics to be of good quality, so we as mods and admins need to keep it that way.


- Ability to take on a project and complete it within adequate time with enthusiasm. No half assed jobs!




Moderators will not be allowed to delete fanfics. This is currently at the discretion of myself, the admin. In the future, when and how well it goes, a banner ad rotation will be placed on the website to acquire money. Eventually after acquiring the amount equivalent to host IYFF, the rest would be split evenly between mods and admin.




As a last note, I will be talking with efiction script creator about a way to integrate fanart into their script as a plug-in module. I think this would be an asset as I do not want to break up the format of the site and put a separate section for fanart.

As Inu Yasha Fanfiction nears 250 members and a good number of stories, I have already started putting features on stories. I have some problems with the module, but never fear, I will solve it. I have activated the Members Online and the Polls feature.




I have added a few links to the site. I am looking for link exchanges with Inu Yasha related sites. I also am interested in affiliate sites with other anime fanfiction or anime sites. I also would not mind suggestions for IY sites out there.




The site front page has changed. Instead of 1 recent story being posted, there are 5.

--Nile on 17 Sep 2007 7:22:07 AM 7 Comments

This site has reached over 100 members in a week, but like any site, there are always new discoveries that pop up. I have been noticing some stories categorized improperly, especially concerning any that were Adult. I have specificially placed Yaoi and Yuri under the Adult category. Even if the material is light and rated PG-13, please only categorize them under the Yaoi or Yuri, which are subcategories of the Adult category.

On another note, if your story has explicit material, regardless of what other categories it may include... ONLY place it in the Adult category, especially R and X rated fanfics.

Change of topic: A member asked if this site will replace A Single Spark. This site will NOT replace A Single Spark as this site encompasses at Inu Yasha fanfiction.

InuYasha-Fanfiction.com is officially opened. This has been a long planned project that I have singlehandedly put together. Right now, it is not much, but with time, hopefully the site will become more improved. All ages are welcomed to join, but there are warning messages for underage readers and writers so they know what they are getting into. The ratings are G, PG-13, NC-17, R, and X. The last three are preferrably for the older crowd.

As the site grows, I will be seeking loyal moderators. I also will be adding a banner ad rotation so the site can fund itself later on so it can eventually be placed on its own server.

If you are an owner of an Inu Yasha related website, and need link exchange, please use the contact option on this site or email me at nile AT inuyasha-fanfiction DOT com (typed to reduce spam.)
