The actual concept that anybody think they can purchase an archive hosting fanfiction is rather weird. I mean...they could begin to read the sites disclaimer about not accepting fanfics written for money before they consider to waste everyone's time by posting questions about purchasing the fanfic-archive.

Thank you, @Desiderius Price. I’ve spent over ten years as a moderator for AFF. I wrote and published here before I joined as staff. This has been my online writing family, and I for one would very much like to keep my family intact.

In a rarity, I actually found myself offended, and it’s by the very notion this anonymous “guest” suggested and their unknown ulterior motive. This website is a large community of authors that have entrusted their IP and stories to the archives in the hopes it’ll get read and enjoyed by others. It’s appalling to think somebody has the nerve to think they can simply waltz in and try to buy the website out; who knows what they’d do with it?

@Thundercloud The sense of entitlement that person had in the subsequent posts, that’s what unnerved me.

The trick is to find the site owner on the way to market, offer ‘em a handful of magic beans. There’s not a website owner in the world wouldn’t like their own beanstalk to the kingdom of the giants. Except maybe that Gadget Hackwrench fansite.

You can’t buy the site. You have to be given the ceremonial dildo by the Lady of the Lake. It sounds bad, but it’s better than the old method of having to pull it from the stone. You ever hear stone moan? It’s horrific.

Whore of Heaven Thank you for the review! Appreciated as ever. Thanks! I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in an anime somewhere Monsters as embodiment of sins is a real old concept, but I guess most sources don’t try and smut it up. InBrightestDay did some really outstanding takes on it in The Woman in the Statue. The Sloth monster there is probably the one I’d have to face. Seems like good sense to me! Again, I think it’s an older idea of light and dark versions fighting each other so I can’t take the credit for it, but I can for deciding to throw it in! Not quite Chekhovian foreshadowing there! I think the bad guy probably also likes pillars because they’re vaguely phallic. Thanks! It gets a little sleazy! Sleazier. Thank you again for the review.

The happiest of birthdays to @Melrick, and hoping this year brings nothing but good things for you!
