Nothing like a trip to the veterinary ER to make a night interesting… Long story made short, Freyja had an abscess of her left anal gland. How did we know this? She decided to pass blood. While I’m not particularly squeamish, nor prone to the vapors when confronted with blood, this is my baby girl. She is not allowed to bleed, or have pain, or do any of the things that will make me want to strangle a handy god or three. She is an innocent furbaby, and deserves nothing but joy. But this at least was something that can be dealt with, and she is now home, loopy on pain meds and wearing the Inflatable Collar of Great Annoyance. She would like everyone to know that she lives with exceedingly evil humans, but we will be forgiven with sufficient treatos.

That is on purpose, to reward authors and encourage them to go back and update older stories to use new site features.

Doing some small tweaks. Member profile tabs are now all URL sticky. Are there any other areas that should be URL sticky?

In my 2013 Phineas and Ferb fanfic “Candace’s Perfect Body,” there’s a scene wherein Dr. Doofenshmirtz captures Perry the Platypus by trapping him inside a wool sweater and then using a huge blow dryer on it to make the sweater shrink around him. Tonight, I watched an episode of the recently revived Phineas and Ferb in which Doofenshmirtz traps Perry exactly that way. I’d love to think that the writers got the idea from me, but honestly, they’ve used so many different Perry-traps over the years that this coincidence seems like a statistical inevitability.

Not sure who this mystery writer is, but something tells me they enjoyed getting the chance to write that story. Call it a hunch. 😉

...eh, haven’t had a whole lot of ‘em. One of mine was so unhappy it inspired another writer to write both a oneshot really exploring the misery and a multiparter to give the plucky heroine a more upbeat fate. How’s about you. Favor the happily ever after?

When I say, “The world would work better if women were in charge,” I mean just about anyone but me. Why? First fact: It’s “my job” to make sure that all the lights are off and doors are locked when we go to bed because my husband will zombie walk right past a door that is standing open. Second fact: we go to bed when the sun is still up and wake up after dark so customers of my husband’s store can panic-buy their milk, eggs, and bread at the crack of dawn. This means when I check the back door, I get blinded by sunlight through the kitchen window if I’m up too late. Well, a few minutes ago, I flipped the switch on my way out of the room, but the light only got brighter. I spent probably about a minute and a half squinting at the glowing boob-light, wondering what sort of black magic electrical fuckery I was in for now, and contemplating what a sledgehammer would do to the fugly glass shade. Then…it hit me, just like a sledgehammer. Y’all. I just tried to turn off the sun. With a light switch. And got pissy when flipping the switch just made the room brighter. So, yeah. Just about any woman except me. I would do my level best only to get knocked down by a barrage of blonde moments. I’d attempt to bring about real, needed legal, societal, and economic change. Instead, I’d get hung up on ridiculous things like declaring boob-lights and whining electric cords illegal and enacting laws decreeing that pets are taxable dependents and people can be considered pets if they’re not fully housebroken. The world would burn.

So, getting some running around done, so I don’t have to deal with the chickens and the snow…. Ye gods...you’d think they never saw the stuff before. 🤣

And it makes it easier for users to quickly recognise and avoid whatever horrific crime against fiction I’ve committed! Everyone’s a winner :)

Good explanation! Just to add my tip: If users don’t want to link offsite they can load their 250x250 (or smaller) userpic direct as a forum userpic first, and then use the forum userpic link for the archive profile. It’s worked for me for years! It does mean the forum and archive userpic are the same, but I don’t mind using the same on both.

All you need is a link to an image that you like. Go to a site that has an image you like, then right click that image; In the options you should see "Copy Image Link", click that. Now just paste that link into the box, and that should show the image that you want, after you click “save” at the bottom. This is mine for example. -- Remember it has to be small enough to fit the 250 pixel limit, I recommend using preview images or thumbnails, these will usually fit. -- Also be aware, the site doesn't allow a picture of a real person, so no personal photos.

Debating on whether I should point out the difference in meaning & spelling of “incest” vs “insect”… two different genres IMO (though I suppose an adventurous author could meld them together). Perhaps they’re after Shelob and offspring?

Numbers…. for several mine (I generally record in the mornings): Dale’s Game – Jan 1st @ 3704. 20th @ 3711. 28th @ 3791 Repair Guy – Jan 1st @ 5087. 20th @ 5099. 28th @ 5238. Jefferey – Jan 1st @ 19218. 20th @ 19261. 28th @ 19514. Thus, many dozens/hundreds. So if it’s genuine on the increase, that’s good. If it was, for whatever reason, being under-counted before, and that’s fixed, that’s good. My worry was it being bogus due to a glitch as I know how code can go.

There isn’t unfortunately, I can see general site wide traffic as well as new registrations. As far as google is concerned, the age verify pretty much stops it in its tracks. The improved archive search is much more reliable as people can search/filter by content tags on their own meaning more people actually find the content they are looking for.

Checking in on all the rest of y’all in the range of Snowmageddon 2026. (Basically, the southern half of the US, northeast downward, half the Midwest, etc.) Everyone doing okay out there? It’s freezing here in southwest Missouri with snow on the ground, but our neighborhood hasn’t lost power...yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be round two of this nonsense. Cold’s vehicle doesn’t handle cold well, so he’s bundling up like he’s bound for the arctic and walking to work. Heiferlump, meanwhile, is determined to crawl inside my skin to sap all the warmth from my corpse, and let me tell you, that cat has cold toes. Those toes are also equipped with unfailing nipple-seeking stomping hardware, and I have the bruises to prove it. Naturally, I’ve held her up to the window circle-of-life style a few times so she can cuss out starlings on the feeder. Everybody, stay warm out there!

Totally sellable, comes with a lifetime supply of heating!

Easy to do, and hopefully was an easy fix! Unlike that time I added an extra space to some code and, long story short, there’s a piece of land nobody can walk on for millions of years until the background radiation drops.

It works! I just uploaded my story, and now the Murphy and Mitzi category is visible in the archive. Thank you!

Thank you! I was worried that I had screwed it up, but that makes sense!

It’s in the dropdown for you to publish. If memory serves, the category won’t display until there’s actually a story in it

I can see it in the admin view, but not in the user view, so I have no idea if I actually created it or not. Maybe @DemonGoddess or @manta2g will be able to tell if I did it right. (I swear, I’m flying this thing by the seat of my pants sometimes...) EDIT: I can see it in the dropdown if I say I’m going to create a new story. It’s just not visible in the menu, and I have no idea why that is.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Thank you for your detective skills! Let’s see if it’s the new account that wants to be deleted or if someone is playing with us.

TBH, having the pictures match is likely a good thing for users recognizing the author of their favorite (or least favorite) stories, when browsing the forums.

The coder tested on Firefox. Did you clear the cache and cookies for ALL TIME, restart your browser, and then go to https://www.adult-fanfiction.org?

I’ve activated the account for you. Give it a try with the instructions posted above, and it should work.

I’m curious what you mean by general increase. Hundreds of new views? Thousands? How much is lots of new registrations? If you can’t say, that’s fine but you’ve got me curious.

I think I have old fashioned review reply links at the bottom of all mine anyway, so I’ll leave mine down the depths of the site where they belong! I can start updating it for any new stories though

Twas wondering, of course. Rational me likes to know explanations; maybe the way the hits are recorded has changed too? (ie story views vs chapter views)? I mean, yes, while an increased count is *nice*; I know that with numbers, it’s good to have reason behind it.

Oddly enough, a general increase in traffic and new members. Also with the improved archive search, more people getting to what they are looking for faster and easier.

And this is why I don’t code, no matter how much AI is trying to convince me that it’s a good idea.

Depends on the story. My very first two long form fics didn’t have happily ever after, but they were somewhat happy.

Looking through the a-z menus I am not seeing any stories showing a count of less than 1 [ie none showing (0) ]- maybe under the new software there needs to be at least one story in a sub catagory to show on the menus, but they’re there for adding a story in the drop downs? Edit: Which actually feels like a good thing in some ways, as on the old site I’d sometimes see a game and click on it, only to find any story had been deleted!

Sorry about taking a solid five days to reply to this! It’s been a little rough at work, and I’m preparing for a friend’s wedding, which will be happening in April, just a week after my birthday. I’ve never been invited to a wedding like this before, especially as part of the wedding party itself, so I’m pretty excited. 😊 😄 I’m probably going to be alternating between stories over the next little while, writing a bit of Legends (the bounty hunter story), The Lake House, or this third thing, depending on what I’m not getting writer’s block on at any given time. The hint I will give is that what I was working on is the first chapter of a story I’ve wanted to start for literally years now. 🤔 Actually since you mentioned it, I might as well throw The Spider House into that rotation as well, since at least doing the first scene would be really cool, and that’s also one I’ve wanted to write for years now. Anyway, on to the rest of your reply! God, it’s a great bit, and the image is pretty much just like that. I’m glad you didn’t feel forced into writing this. I wanted to make sure that you weren’t writing stuff you didn’t love because you were trying to please me, but specifically about Sarsa healing Dylan’s hands, I definitely understand what it’s like to write yourself into a corner and then have to improvise a solution! I hadn’t thought of the “walking biohazard” angle, but it does make sense. I did like the idea presented in the text itself, that Sarsa knew that if she didn’t pick something, Kizzy was going to get very nerdy with whatever she chose for the binding mark, either the Starfleet logo or some inscription in Klingon or who knows what else. 😄 They do. I blame the animated series The Mighty Nein and Marion Lavorre for my personal reaction, though admittedly she’s a tiefling (so...I don’t know, like 1/16 demon or something), but definitely the example that came to mind first. Sarsa has her own variation on the look here, of course, with the hooves and the black hair, but as you say it is a perennial favorite of people! It is a good line! I hadn’t actually thought of the “sexiness backwash” as you put it still being in effect, but that’s a good point, and as you said, a lot of Dylan’s emotional reaction could also be the normal powerful emotions that come with sex. It could lead to a long-term romance, but the story isn’t spelling that out precisely here. You did a good job explaining it in the story itself, for sure. I had wondered about the shapeshifting, actually, specifically whether it was just a succubus thing or Sarsa could do it too. It does make sense, though, since just hiding wings and other features to blend with humans would necessitate some level of appearance modification ability. 😁 Kizzy’s seriousness works so well for that sort of deadpan comedy. Again, welcome back, and I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long before I have something to share, whatever that may turn out to be!

I figured it out, I had a mix of problems. DuckDuckGo, the search engine in the URL bar of all my browsers except Brave, kept taking me to this URL: "https://adult-fanfiction.org/" -- All the FireFox browsers display "trimmed URLs", that look like this: "adult-fanfiction.org" My problem was I couldn't see that I didn't have the proper link. I'm disabling the "trimmed URL" feature in each of my browsers for the future. I think the age verification should have a link like, "Having trouble? Click here and try again.", to ensure that all visitors will be in the right place, even if they can't tell. -- Thank you DemonGoddess, your help was appreciated.

If you are experiencing bugs, please post them to the bug tracker. What we will need from you are specific steps you took to get the error, and screen shots if you are able. This will help in getting everything fixed, if there are bugs.

You are very welcome!

Fix to be applied to applied at a future time.

Thank you, it works now! I had the mistaken impression that I needed to clear cookies and cache while the homepage of AFF was open. I followed the instructions and did it all on the firefox homepage and now it works, and I was able to log in as author as well. Thanks very much for all the help!

170k words is the current estimate for the whole story. That is a good idea. Pretty many spin offs possible if I get eager to return to the characters. I totally agree. My favorites were Grand Central Station and walking the streets around Central Park. I walked the streets because I visited a house there. I could draw on that experience when I later wrote one of the scenes for my G,S,P story. The story never explains why he was at Beckomberga. I have a vague idea that this story should be linked to my story, "Can the Mirror see the Moment?" but I don’t know whether I will write the spinoff or focus on other things. Considering how quickly the ghost adapts to technology, it would make sense that he is from the 1970-1990 time period. The hospital closed in 1995, but the famous lobotomizations happened much earlier. A possibility for why he was locked up was that he lost control over the dildo magic and couldn’t really control himself...but that would imply he was from a much earlier time period. I don’t think people from 1970 would lock somebody up for nymphomanic behavior. I saw you have already reviewed the next chapter, but the comment on that will have to wait until later, as the bed calls me.

In helping people sort this out, something I found was that users with iPhones and such, had to clear browser cache in ALL their devices, as they are linked. Asked the user what he did differently to be successful, and it was that.

Have you followed the steps outlined in the most recent news article? You can read it here: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77064-upgrade-complete/ Your old password should still work, and you should be able to log in if you follow the steps outlined. If you normally browse in incognito mode, you will need to turn that off just when logging in for the first time, so you can set the site cookies. After you log in successfully, you can resume browsing incognito with no problems.

My fault. When creating that menu, I added an extra space. It’s fixed now.

Well I’m all for more Buffy related stories here. Eventually I’ll get back to it.

Could use an actual Fight Club quote! “do I give you the ass or the crotch?" heh. Ignore me. Good luck with it though, sounds like there’s potential! I’ve done a rough chapter 4 on mine and into an even rougher chapter 5. These things end up longer than expected sometimes!

I don’t think I read that one, but a quick google suggests it was a Girls Behind Bars type story? There’s always a lot of room for new stories in that environment. I’d probably mess it up and instead end up with it all far too cheerful and non sexual. The Buffy version of 1970s British Sitcom Porridge. Naffy the Vampire Slayer. I’ll see myself out

I have an idea that I’ve been playing with. One is a Buffy crossover and the other is sorta similar to the Gehanna story that’s already up on the site. Seems like there was collaboration on that story. But mine has a slightly different twist.

So… happy endings?

...well, damn, that does make much more sense. In my defence poetry critical thinking is waaaaaaay down my ability scale. Also normal critical thinking. Some might even say just thinking. Makes sense. You just don’t tend to think hiring one would be a good idea until you’re turning the Earth for potatoes and whoops there’s a plague ridden femur. I liked it, but I also have a soft spot for the original Scary Movie too No worries!

Ah shucks, that kinda thing might chip away at my deep seated self loathing!
