Hi meckinock I do not write stories but I do read them. Love SOA if I can help to keep the site going please let me know. I know nothing about web sites and have very basic computer skill. Galathil

And another update, as I understand that data can be helpful in troubleshooting. I have received some review notifications. Seems rather hit or miss. Feel free to contact me if you want/need details.

Just to let you know, after a long stretch of not receiving any notifications, I received several at 12:21 p.m. Pacific time: one chapter alert, and the rest were authors’ responses to the most recent reviews I’d written. Hope this helps your troubleshooting.

Hello!
My question is not about registering to the site (obviously :) ), but about notifications. In the past, I got notifications when someone reviewed my stories, and when authors replied to my reviews. But for at least two years now, I don't get ANY notifications. I have to say that it is very inconvenient, because I get reviews and I don't see them unless I click one by one story of mine. I am often late with replies, so I might look rude in the eyes of the others - like, "look, she isn't replying to reviews". Do you have any idea to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Author Reply: Hi, Ellyn
Sorry about the problem with review notifications. Mine seem to be spotty as well - I hadn't noticed because I'm not updating regularly, but I actually didn't get several of the review replies to the administrative update. I will check into it and see if we can fix it, in the meantime I've sent an e-mail to the e-mail account linked to your profile, if you get it please reply.
Thanks,
meckinock

Meckinock!

So happy to see new authors posting. While I may post elsewhere I do tend to think of Stories of Arda as my fanfiction home and would be very sad if it no longer here! I had been away for a ten-year span from writing fanfic and then in 2019 plot bunnies visited me with a vengeance and I started writing again. I was so pleased that SoA was still here and I still remembered my password (somehow). The site has been a welcomed friend during these COVID times and given me a place to find community in these strange times! SoA has always maintained a high standard and quality of writing. Thank all of you Mods for everything you do to maintain the site. Nilmandra had a wonderful vision and you guys have maintained it so well! Thank you!

So glad to read this! Thank you for all you do to keep the site going. Though I haven't had much time for reading or writing lately, I keep coming back every time I have a spare moment. This is my happy place.

Author Reply: Thanks, Lindelea! I feel the same way about Stories of Arda. We just renewed the site for three more years and I hope we can keep it going as long as there is interest. It's wonderful to still see so many people enjoying the site. Although some of us have drifted away from the fandom over the years, we all think of Stories of Arda as our family and a home we love to go back to. We remain grateful for Nilmandra's vision in creating the site and we are very lucky that Rorrah did such a good job of coding it - even though the site is almost 20 years old, it mostly still works (cross fingers). If you or any of the other "old timers" have any suggestions about how we can improve the site, you can always email me at storiesofarda@gmail.com.
