How do I...
Q: How do I become a member?
1. Read the Terms of Service, etc.
Make sure to read the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Membership Info pages. Being a member of this site comes with both privileges and obligations, and you should be aware of what each entails so you can make an informed decision. Using this site constitutes your acceptance of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
2. Choose a membership type.
There are two types of membership, Story and Site.
Now, I'm assuming if you're asking the question of how to join the site that you've already read the sample chapters of most, if not all, of the stories.
So, do you want access to all the stories, including A Bondage Primer (estimated 25-book series), as well as stories that may be added in the future? If so, you should choose a Site Membership.
On the other hand, if only one or two of the stories have caught your interest, you should choose a Story Membership for each of those stories. (Note: If it's more than two, you should really consider a Site Membership, since if you change your mind later, you'll only be able to get credit towards a Site Membership for up to two Story Memberships.)
Once you've decided what kind of membership you want, go to the Membership Info page (read the text if you haven't already) and choose either the Site Membership or Story Membership link at the top or bottom of the page.
3. Fill out the registration form.
Having clicked on one of the membership links, you should now be on one of the signup pages. They're basically the same for both types of membership, though for the Story Memberships, you'll get a list of all the available stories. Unfortunately, you can only choose one at a time (the system doesn't work well as a shopping cart), so you'll need to select the first story you want to access, and then once you've created your account, you can order more using the Add Memberships button on your member account page (again, you'll have to order them one at a time, sorry).
Membership
Choose the membership you'd like to sign up for. If you've chosen a Site Membership, it will already be selected for you. If you've chosen a Story Membership, make your selection (if you want more than one, you can order more later).Payment System
I currently only accept payments through PayPal, so PayPal will already be selected for you. PayPal allows you to pay with funds from your PayPal account or with your credit/debit card.Your Name
Enter your first and last names.Your email Address
Enter the email address you'd like to use with your member account. I use email verification as part of the registration process, so make sure you can receive email at the address specified before you hit the Continue button at the bottom of the page.Choose a Username
Your Username must be at least 6 characters long (maximum is 20), and can only contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the underscore '_' character (no spaces). You may capitalize parts of your Username (ex: UserName or USERname), but when logging in, capitalizing or not will be ignored (though your Username will be displayed with the proper capitalization once you've logged in).Choose a Password/Confirm your password
Your Password must be at least 6 characters long (maximum is 32), and can contain pretty much any character, as far as I know (you'll probably receive an error if you do something weird). Unlike your Username, your Password is case-sensitive. If you capitalize parts of your Password (ex: PassWord or PASSword), remember it because if you don't enter it exactly the same way when you log in, the system won't accept it. Confirm your Password by entering it again.Enter Verification Text
Enter the text from the image to verify you're a person and not a robot attempting to sign up.Enter coupon code
If you have a coupon, enter the code in the box. (If you're upgrading from a Story Membership to a Site Membership, make sure to let me know, so I can send you a valid coupon code worth what you paid for your Story Membership (up to two).)
Click Continue.
4. Agree to the Terms of Service
After you click Continue, a new page will load with the User Agreement. Click on the "I Agree" checkbox to signify you agree to the Terms of Service.
Click Continue.
5. Check your email
After you click Continue in the previous step, a new page will load telling you to check your email. Do so. (The browser window will remain open.)
If you haven't already, you should soon receive an email with "Account Verification" in the subject line asking you to click on the link in the email (which will confirm the email address you provided is valid) to activate your account and to continue the registration process.
Click on the link. If you don't, your account will remain in limbo.
6. Pay for your new membership
After you click on the link in the Account Verification email, you'll be redirected to the PayPal site.
If you have a PayPal account, you'll be asked to log in and can follow the instructions from there to complete your payment.
If you don't have a PayPal account or have never used their service, just follow the instructions on their pages and you should be fine. By the way, you should not have to create a PayPal account to use your credit/debit card to pay me through their service. The payment page should give you the option of either logging into your PayPal account (if you have one) or paying with your credit/debit card as a PayPal guest. If you decide to pay as a PayPal guest, I'm pretty sure you'll be given the option of creating an account at that time. If you don't want to, simply select the option that lets you pay without creating an account.
7. Access your new membership
Once I receive your payment, your membership will be activated, which should be instantaneous with PayPal (unless you use an e-check, which can take several days to clear).
You should receive an email receipt from PayPal to confirm your payment has been sent (you'll also receive a Payment Receipt email from this site confirming your payment has been received). You should also receive a Welcome email with your Account details from this site, as well as another email with information specific to the Membership you signed up for.
PayPal will not automatically return you to this site, but if you go back to the email Verification window and click the Login link in the top right corner of the page, it should automatically log you in at that time and you can begin accessing the Member Only areas according to your membership type. If for any reason it doesn't log you in, you should be presented with a Login box where you can enter your username and password and login manually.
Q: How do I add a Story Membership?
Go to your Member page (you'll need to log in if you aren't already) and click on the Add Membership link in the menu on the right (this link will not be available if you have a Site Membership, since Site Membership supersedes the need for any Story Memberships).
You'll be taken through a similar process as when you became a member. See "How do I become a member?" above for details. Otherwise, click the radio button next to whichever story you would like to add to your account, enter a coupon code if you have one, and then click Place Your Order.
If you want to add more than one Story Membership, you'll need to go through the order process for each one (the system doesn't work well as a shopping cart). I apologize for the inconvenience.
Q: How do I upgrade from a Story Membership to a Site Membership?
First, let me know you want to upgrade by sending an email to:
REMOVEmail4kkw-THESEfiction@PARTSyahoo.NOWcom
Due to spam, I use altered mailto: links on my site. You will need to remove the capitalized parts of the email address before sending. Also, because spammers are continually improving their ability to troll for public email addresses, this address may be changed at any time if it becomes compromised. Please visit this page to be sure you're using the correct address before sending your email.
I'll need to know your Username and the email address associated with your account.
I'll check your user record and confirm that you have a paid membership for at least one story. I will then create a special coupon just for you that can be used towards the purchase of a Site Membership in the amount of what you paid for up to two Story Memberships (if you purchased more than two, I'm sorry, but I had to set the limit somewhere, since I lose money on fees by making the exchange at all).
Once you've used the coupon for the Site Membership, I will remove the Story Memberships from your account (you won't need them, and since you're effectively trading them in, you don't get to keep them).
Q: How do I request a refund on my membership?
I'm sorry, but I don't offer refunds.
Once your payment goes through and your membership becomes active, you get instant access to the stories on the site, as well as the ability to download the ebooks.
It would be very easy for someone to buy a membership, download all the ebooks, and then request a refund, meaning they'd get all my work for free. There is literally no way I can protect against that kind of fraud.
I realize this makes purchasing a Site Membership a bit more of a leap of faith, but that's one of the reasons I offer the option of trading in up to two Story Memberships towards the price of a Site Membership.
I've also tried to offer more than enough free content to help you decide whether you want a Site Membership or just a couple Story Memberships before you make your purchase.
Q: How do I delete my membership account?
Warning! Deleting your account is permanent. If you change your mind later, you will have to create a new account and purchase a new membership. Your previous account will not be reinstated and any active memberships associated with your account will be lost.
If you have decided you wish to delete your account, just send your request with your name and the email address associated with your account to:
REMOVEmail4kkw-THESEfiction@PARTSyahoo.NOWcom
Once I've received your request, I'll find your member record in my database and send an email to the address associated with your account to ask for confirmation. This is an attempt to ensure the account owner is the one requesting the deletion.
If you receive any emails regarding account deletion, and you did not request your account be deleted, please contact me immediately with "Do Not Delete" in the subject line to alert me, and include your username in the body of the email, along with any information you have regarding how someone else could have made the request.
However, if I receive a 'yes' from your member account's email address, your account will be deleted.
Please note, after I receive confirmation, I will not accept any claims that someone else made the request to delete your account. It is up to you to keep your account information confidential. If you allow someone enough access to your information that they're able to use your email account and membership information to act on your behalf, then I feel you have decided to let them legally represent you and I cannot be held responsible for acting in good faith on that information.
Q: How do I get the ebook version of a story?
Simply go to the Extras page for any of the stories, click on the link for the ebook (EPUB) you wish to download, and it should pop up a download window, so you can choose where to save it. You will need to be logged in to a valid membership to download the Members Only ebooks (or any other Members Only content).
Q: How do I contact Kodi Wolf?
Please go to the Contact page for full instructions.
Q: How do I report a Terms of Service violation?
Please report any TOS violations by sending a message outlining the violation(s) to:
REMOVEmail4kkw-THESEfiction@PARTSyahoo.NOWcom
Due to spam, I use altered mailto: links on my site. You will need to remove the capitalized parts of the email address before sending. Also, because spammers are continually improving their ability to troll for public email addresses, this address may be changed at any time if it becomes compromised. Please visit this page to be sure you're using the correct address before sending your email.
I will review all reports and will handle them subject to the conditions contained in the TOS. Should I find activity or content in violation of the letter or spirit of the TOS, I will take (or not take) appropriate action at my sole discretion.
Q: How do I make a claim of copyright infringement?
Please go to Section 26 of the Terms of Service for full instructions on how to make a claim of copyright infringement.
