inFrequently Asked Questions

'KHYML' stands for 'Kingdom Hearts Yaoi Mailing List'. It's a large, occasionally active group. Many fic/lets have come from challenges posted to it.

What is 'DM'/'DM:A'?

Those initials are used to refer to anything relating to an original novel Kalloway is slowly working on and was once called 'Dark Magick'. The latest incarnation is referred to as 'Dark Magick : Alternate'.

Who are all the people mentioned in fic notes or on the main page?

Many of them are linked to in the Links section. Some of them are meant to be cryptic. And some are friends come and gone with the passings of time. If you'd like more information about the Cafe staff, check out the bio page.

Will you link my site?/Can I link here?

Will you link mine? I'd just like a fair trade. And you can link to me if you'd like.

Will you post my fanfic/fanart/whatnot?

Fanfiction submission guidelines are on the GuestWorks page. Fanart is less strict - just e-mail it to me and there's a good chance I'll post it. Be sure to include any contact information you want posted with it.

As far as other miscellania goes, I'll probably accept it. Hit banners are graciously appreciated, as are other web goodies.

At the time being, however, Kalloway and myself are abysmally behind on adding guestwork to the site. Like, years and years behind.

You're writing me a fic - when will it be done?

I'm not writing you a fic, Kalloway is. But... I can answer this one! Your best bet is to e-mail her, mentioning what she's writing (details, not just 'I posted a challenge to a ML and you said...') and flat out asking when it'll be done. She gets distracted easily and does have a life of her own, so sometimes things slip her mind.

What's up with the print book(s) I've heard about?

Kalloway has 'published' a collection of short stories. E-mail her for more info. And she has plans to self-publish her NaNo novels as well. Mainly she just makes little zines though.

How many game systems do you have?

I have none, but Kalli has Five: Three Super Nintendos, an ancient NES, a N64, Gameboy Colour, Two GameboyAdvances, NintendoGameCube, NintendoDS, two N-DS lites, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox, X360, Wii, mini-PS3, PSP, Sega Saturn, Playstation, Gameboy Micro, Generation NEX, PS2-J and Playstation2, and silver PStwo. That probably isn't the complete list.

That isn't five.

That's what Kalli's Mom says. Shh.

What's Kalli's dayjob?

Kalli currently isn't working but is available for freelance projects, random mayhem and chatter.

What *are* Sekret Brownies?

When I've forgotten to link something to the main pages yet have linked it elsewhere. They get found pretty quickly, but yeah, there are a few hidden stories here and there! Totally erroneous, most of the time.

Can you ever pinpoint the exact moment when certain stories completely get away from you? And is it ever terrifying?

Kalloway? Completely get away from me? Sometimes. Turnabouts, especially when I have a scenario in mind, amuse me more than anything. I've had moments of serious "WHOA!", including Tracey's breakdown in 'The Swing of Things'... That one still gets me. Other than that, most of the stuff I think is good, other people don't like and vice versa. I still really like 'Fuck', though, as an example of a story that I never had the reigns on.

I've had -reaction- completely get away from me. I originally posted 'One Wing' on ff.n and it had the biggest positive reaction of anything I've ever written... I was honestly just fucking around without a plot, writing lemons to amuse Sprink...

As far as things go that I'd recommend to anyone who's curious just how deep the rabbit hole can be, I recommend a 15minuteficlet, Tricksters.

Will you write me a...

Kalloway? Maybe! I'm not exaggerating when I say I have about 400 fics on my to-do list right now. So if it's a fandom I'm interested in and currently writing for, the worst thing you can do is ask.

I think someone stole one of your stories!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention - send me an e-mail with the details or fill out the contact form on the left-hand side. For the record (and I believe this is our first time admitting all of this), stories posted by 'jenova_synth' on livejournal, 'dayslipper' on ff.n, 'razrantha' on ff.n, 'razrantha' on aff.n, 'filthy_mind' on greatestjournal, and 'Heartspark Dollarsign' on a couple of past anonymous challenges are KALLOWAY. They're okay, please don't report them! I appreciate the concern. Anyone else isn't her (or me posting for her), and we both really, really thank you for bringing it to our attention. So far we've had little trouble taking care of the plagiarists/thieves.

Your graphics stink.

That isn't a question. That said, neither of us is a graphic designer and we both still make use of the HTML we learned in 1997. 95% of the internet population can make better graphics than we can and if you feel so inclined, go ahead and make a replacement for whatever offended you! Chances are, we'll use it and credit you.
At one point, someone offered to design a layout but nothing ever came from it. I don't know if there's any way to redesign the layout because of the sheer amount of STUFF here, but if you have any inclination and it'd be functional, we're not gonna say no.
