We're pleased to announce the grand opening of ArtisticAlley's section for art inspired by Deathly Hallows - and we also have a forum for the characters introduced in the Epilogue, too!

And coming early this week, we've also added almost twenty new characters to FictionAlley's fic search system!

We've opened a section for each chapter of DH in ArtisticAlley, so you can now create and upload art based on any of the chapters in DH. Please note that the above url lists all the chapter titles, and thus should be considered full of potential spoilers.

We've been working on it for months...

And now, it is working!

You can now search for combinations of ships, or of main characters separate from ships!

In other words, if I want to find all fics that feature Sirius Black and Harry Potter as main characters, and which are, say, Action/Adventure fics, I...

Go to the Main Search Page
Select "Action" for genre
At "Show me fics where the main character is", select "Harry Potter"
Click "Add another character"
When "Show me fics where the main character is" comes up on the screen, select "Sirius Black"
(Add other options, like house, length, upload date, etc, if I want to)
Scroll down and click "Submit query"

And look! A list of all the fics that meet my criteria!

(Of course, you can't do combined "or" searches anymore - you now need to do a separate search if you wanted to find all fics with Harry, or all fics with Sirius, but I think we can all live with that, can't we?)

Any questions? Ask us in Suggestions & Questions!

BNMQ.com, the entity that managed to get ArtisticAlley to point to their site, shows up a few times in Google as a spammer, and as a hijacker. I'd love to be able to get some press on this situation, because this is clearly not the first time it's happened, but in the non-industry press, I've haven't seen much coverage - if any - of this kind of situation. If anyone wants to do more investigation of the Bad Guys, that would be great.

The situation is this - they hide their real name and address on their domain name registration things, and instead, they've used a company called PrivacyProtect.org as their address/contact information, but, of course, PrivacyProtect's phone number didn't work *either*. So, luckily, Google allowed me to google for the address on the registration - 14781 Memorial Dr. Suite # 792 in Texas - which led me to www.publicdomainregistry.com, who do have a working phone number, which I called. So they told me how to report it via their website, which I did via this page. While I don't normally recommend sending barrages of emails to registrants, if we don't get results from them by the end of the day today, I can't see a downside to people making legitimate complaints about BNMQ.com via their Report a False WHOIS page, as, well, it is false WHOIS info, isn't it?

Just so the techies can have it, the DNS they switched everything to is NS1.bnmq.com and NS2.bnmq.com.
