Heliopolis: News

I am closing the submissions for Helio2, as the database for it is now complete, as is Helio: Atlantis. They will remained closed until I finish with the main archive's database. The tentative date for this will be May 1st.

The reasons for the delay include the fact that I am in the process of moving, and currently don't have electricity, let alone internet, at my new house, yet. I am hoping something faster than my current 26.8k connection will be available at the new location. For this reason, I may be out of touch for most of the month.

The other reason, is that I still need volunteers to make this work. The slowest part of this process is validating all of the chapters, once they are in place. It takes time away from other things I could be working on. I validated over 90 chapters today.

Also, whatever system I put into place to answer your concerns about separating the gen and het stories, will not work without moderators. I can not keep up with the submissions to all three archives, and still keep the stories validated as fast as they come in. If this happens, Heliopolis will continue with its open (unmoderated) submissions policy. - Just something to think about -

I also need to reiterate, please, do not sign up for a new account at the new archive, or attempt to log in to an existing account. I have closed all submissions for the new archive, so you will be unable to do anything, anyway, and when I am done with the archive, I will be deleting all accounts that don't have stories associated with them, so your account will be deleted and you will have to do it all over again. Save us all some trouble, and wait until I finish the database.

I am reopening the submissions for Heliopolis and Helio2, while I continue to work on the archives in the background. Because Helio: Atlantis is essentially done, but linked to the new database which I am still working on, submissions for it are closed until further notice.

Please, do not sign up for a new account at the new archive, or attempt to log in to an existing account. I have closed all submissions for the new archive, so you will be unable to do anything, anyway, and when I am done with the archive, I will be deleting all accounts that don't have stories associated with them, so your account will be deleted and you will have to do it all over again.

Thanks for your patience - and enjoy the new stories while you wait. I hope to be done by the end of the month (which this week marks 4 years for me as webmistress of this site!).

Keep an eye out here for updates.
