Report Errors, Vulnerabilities, and Omissions (A.K.A. Tell Us Where We Screwed Up)

From Author Wars - https://authorwars.com/

Welcome to the Department of Unfortunate Mistakes

Ah, so you've found something wrong with our site. A typo? A missing book? A tragic misclassification that has deeply offended your literary sensibilities? Congratulations! You now have the rare opportunity to correct the internet—a privilege usually reserved for Wikipedia editors, fact-checking bots, and people who yell at strangers on Twitter.

We knew this day would come. Despite our god-like powers of database curation, we are, shockingly, not infallible (please don't tell anyone). Somewhere in these vast, chaotic halls of speculative fiction data, errors, oversights, and rogue bits of misinformation lurk in the shadows—like a glitchy holodeck program or a poorly written time paradox.

And that's where YOU come in, dear reader.

What Can You Report? (Other Than Our Bad Life Choices)

We are open to (some) criticism and encourage reports on the following:

• 📚 Bibliographic Blunders – Missing books, incorrect author attributions, or ISBNs that seem to belong to a completely different universe.
• 🤖 Algorithmic Anomalies – Did our ranking system accidentally elevate a self-published Bigfoot romance novel above Asimov? (Actually, that sounds hilarious. Leave that one.)
• 🛠 Site Vulnerabilities – If you've found an actual security flaw that lets you hack into our database, first of all: wow, impressive. Secondly, tell us, but don't exploit it (unless your goal is to subtly correct grammar errors, in which case… carry on).
• 🔍 Tagging & Classification Crimes – Did we accidentally put Lovecraftian horror under "Children's Literature"? (Oops. Our bad. We'll fix it before we traumatize the youth.)
• 👀 Weird, Unexplainable Things – Sometimes, databases develop sentience. If you find a book titled "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" added by "UNKNOWN ENTITY," let us know before it manifests in physical form.

How to Report These Crimes Against Literature

We were going to build a fancy, interactive error submission form, but unfortunately, our coding wizard was last seen muttering about "CSS goblins" and hasn't been heard from since. So, for now, let's go old school:

📩 Send us an email to: [email protected]

📍 Include the following details (or just rant, we'll figure it out):

• The URL of the offending page
• A brief description of the error, vulnerability, or bibliographic crime
• Any supporting evidence (screenshots, links, or a dramatic reenactment of your frustration via interpretive dance—though we probably won't see that one)

What Happens Next?

Once your valuable contribution to internet justice reaches us, one of the following things will occur:

• 🔹 We Fix It Instantly. (Rare, but possible.)
• 🔹 We Pretend to Think About It. (Some reports require "serious consideration," aka we take a coffee break.)
• 🔹 We Do Nothing. (If the issue turns out to be non-existent, wildly subjective, or an elaborate prank.)
• 🔹 We Send You a Cryptic Response. ("We are aware of the issue. The council is deliberating. No further questions.")

Final Words (Before You Inevitably Forget About This Page)

If you made it this far, congratulations! You now know more about our error-reporting process than 99% of our visitors. Does that make you special? Absolutely. Will we reward you for it? No.

But hey, if you help us make AuthorWars.com slightly less chaotic, you can go to sleep tonight knowing that you've done your part in the eternal battle for online accuracy. (And honestly, isn't that its own reward?)

Now go forth, brave data warrior! Report those errors! Save the world! (Or at least save us from looking dumb.)
