Back home now with a car that runs. Pep Boys guys in Columbus were awesome. I have a lovely bottle of what is definitely NOT gasoline that came out of my fuel tank. Now it's just a matter of going after the gas station. Sigh... For those who asked for details, simply put, I paid for 87 octane gas, used the correct pump, pushed the correct button, but what came out was kerosene, not gasoline. I can only assume someone filled up the wrong tank with the stuff. I'll be contacting the station and an attorney tomorrow to get it all sorted out.
Sorry I really haven't made any progress on...well...anything. I'm going to try and respond to those who have sent me messages on FFN and at least point them to the new home of Could Be Worse, Right? Hopefully I will have some time tomorrow to get the remaining chapters posted. I'll get a few up tonight, but not all. HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to Ashley, who had all the way up to chapter 42 including the author's notes, which I didn't have, and missing chapter 8. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! :) I know some writers don't care to have their work downloaded, but it never bothered me and I'm very grateful someone had this for me.
I have sent an appeal to FFN, but don't expect to hear back from them very quickly. I'll give them a week before I start asking again. Many have asked if they can help, and if you would like to send a polite message to support@fanfiction.com asking them to reevaluate the decision to pull the story, that might help.
As soon as I get the CBWR blog all updated with the current chapters, I will start posting more. Still hoping to get UC chapter out as well as soon as I am able to upload to FFN again.
Thanks again for everyone's kind words and support!

So glad to read that the story will be reposted on your blog. Can't wait to continue reading.
ReplyDeleteUp to chapter three and chomping at the bit for more!
I am so glad you were able to get your car fixed... I hope the gas station just offers to reimburse your expenses so you don't have to fight with them.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to be patient to see more of CBWR. I did send a message to ff.net, (a very polite message), to ask them to reinstate. Good luck!
I'm glad your car is working and hope you get some retribution! I already sent an email to the address you provided. NICELY asking they consider or revise their TOS because they don't coincide when many stories being pulled.
ReplyDeleteI have CBW through chapter 47, complete with author's notes, and story synopsis. Let me know if you need it.
ReplyDeleteHey bb, just wanted to let you know I will be emailing them as well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the appeal and with the Gas station.
Still can't believe what a crappy few days you've had :(
So glad your car is working again. I was afraid it would be dead....
ReplyDeleteAs for CBWR, I wish I would've saved it but the thought never crossed my mind. What chapter were we up to anyway?
Hopefully it can be resolved with FFN. They really piss me off when they delete shit just because its popular. Grrrr... But i digress...
Hey, did u see the pics of Rob and Kristen at the WFE premiere in NYC? Ddddddayuuuuum! Hawt. :) ~Queenbeee78
take your time. :)
ReplyDeletei wont lie, it will suck to have to wait, but life comes first.
take care.
Seriously... go to www.thewriterscoffeeshop.com they have NC-17 ratings. I think you could be very happy there. And you can post banners and video and pictures to go with your stories. Something to think about. I post on both sites but I prefer TWCS to FFN. I hate Twilighted but wherever you end up, I'll follow!
ReplyDeleteMuah ~ Tracy

ReplyDeleteI'm not going to bother you with the questions onwhereabouts of CBWR as I guess we will find out the info on this blog, right ? :)
ReplyDeleteCheer up !
Glad your car is feeling better. Already sent a note to ff! I was also thinking TWCS. The thing that really makes me mad about ff is that CBWR did not even have a chapter posted that had explicit smut.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your car. If the gas station does not provide you an acceptable resolution, I recommend that you file a complaint with your State's Department of Weights & Measures. Also your State's Attorney General's Office.
