I noticed that there is a flash CAPTCHA to check for robots. It is a gui checkbox. I did not see any alternative controls. I fear that it is not accessible to partially-sighted and blind users. The intfiction forum is partly accessible.

I'm unable to reply to your comment Alex. The reply is: This answer put my fears at rest. I hope users will comment if there are accessibility problems.

If you confirm your email address you will not see a CAPTCHA again.

We're using reCAPTCHA which is accessible in its new incarnation as a simple checkbox, according to http://simplyaccessible.com/article/googles-no-captcha/

If for any reason you can't use it, you can contact a site admin - email me at alex@textadventures.co.uk  and ask me to mark your account email address as confirmed.
