21 years for me, as of May this year.

One of our members, Sessakag, has had the unfortunate experience of finding their story posted without permission on this site: https://www.patreon.com/WhatIfFanfics/collections. The stories that have been used are largely in the Naruto fandom, although there are some crossovers as well. The worst part? It's behind a paywall. That's right--this plagiarist expects you to pay $10 to listen a story published by the actual author for free right here on AFF. See, that's the plagiarist's hook. These are AUDIO copies. Now, mind you, this plagiarist had their YouTube account suspended, most likely for the very same thing, but they don't seem able to learn their lesson. If your story has been stolen, Patreon wants you to reach out to the "creator" on Patreon and ask them to be nice and take it down. If that doesn't work, they also suggest filing a DMCA takedown notice (https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/208377833). The catch is that you need a Patreon account to report the stolen content. However, the more times this thief is reported, the more likely it is that Patreon will be forced to take action. I want to send a huge thank you to Sessakag for reporting this to us. Even if AFF can't tell Patreon how to run their site, we can be proud of our members, who respect the hard work put into creating the fan fictions we all enjoy. UPDATE: Patreon responded quickly to the DMCA request from Sessakag, and removed the story from the Patreon page, although the account hasn't been suspended. If you too have been a victim, please go and file that DMCA takedown notice with Patreon! ANOTHER UPDATE: It seems there are now YouTube videos where this person reads a story aloud, so they haven’t learned their lesson from the first YouTube suspension. If your story was used here, please report it and file a DMCA takedown request.

Typos happen with me, just a fact of my existence. English is my second language, I think I amble fairly well in it.

And now all I can picture is John Malkovich penning a letter while resting the paper on Uma Thuman’s back…

I’ve gotten unsolicited requests that try to push me into writing for fandoms that I know nothing about. Guess that’s my hard stop for writing, along with the desire to finish what I’ve already started. And TBH, if I had fallen into the potter universe today, it’s unlikely that I’d even delve into fanfiction.

Reminds me of an ancient joke I heard when I was a mere lad. A young woman comes into an embroidery shop and asks the proprietor if they can do custom work on something delicate. Asked what she means, she pulls a pair of nylons* out and says, “Up here at the top where it’s reinforced for the garter.” Examining it, the owner says, “It’s kind of touchy but I think we could manage it. What do you want it to say?” “Something I saw on the back of a truck, ‘If you can read this you’re too close.’” “Okay, would you like that in Roman or perhaps script lettering?” “Braille.” *I said it was ancient.

I made 14 years as of October 2023.

It turned to 13 years for me, in January. And some five or six years that I’ve been serving as your inept forum moderator

I stumbled into this, and realized… come April 5th, it’ll be a decade for me. (Yes, I found the registration confirmation email in my inbox.)

I would say so personally. I mean, most characters are the gender they are for a reason. Particularly if the character has appeared on screen, like most of mine have. So I prefer to create an OC rather than gender bend a character. Or I just shift the sexuality of the character. More than a few of the female characters I write about have intense relationships with other women. Though most of them aren’t explicitly lesbians. So occasionally I just give them a broader sexuality, usually bisexual.

The problem I’ve noticed, is even when a user white lists our mail server, we STILL get marked as spam. Not always, but often enough for it to be an ongoing issue.

I’ll redirect your attention to the fact you got a review!

The VPN kick is intentional, the hackers we were dealing with kept using VPNs to bypass the site security and wreck havoc on the archives.

My plot bunnies are so fecund that I have to limit myself to having no more than twenty stories in progress at a time.

Hmm….Halloween story, where the happy ending is the tragic ending. Not sure how to pull that off in the original universe I tend to write in.

A lot of my stories are primarily erotica, so “happy endings” are par for the course. Seriously, my endings tend to be predictable. If the story has a tragic storyline, then it probably has a tragic ending. If it’s a happy storyline, happy ending. Although if it’s a Halloween story, all bets are off.

Hi, GeorgeGlass. By itself, no. While the spaceships from the Star Trek universe keep Captain’s and Ship’s Logs, other ships of notable size also keep Ship’s Logs, and the ship’s Captain might also keep a “Captain’s Log” or journal/diary of personal observations he or she doesn’t wish to keep in the main ship’s log. Seeing the erotica/pornographic bent of this site, I would also assume that the “Captain” just might be well-endowed (or tragically not endowed,) and was (at least trying) to get “busy.” Cheers!

There are a number of us that write original fiction and post it at https://original.adult-fanfiction.org in case some you have non fanfiction stuff you want to post.

Maybe she rubs an ice cube over her lover's lips before they kiss, and afterward says, "Mmm, I love them cold." This would be especially pause-worthy if she works in a morgue or a funeral home.

Desiderius Price "I’ve learned to never say never when it comes to writing, usually because saying “never would” becomes an inducement to do just that." That's the absolute truth. It's because of that, I try to turn things I dislike, into challenges that broaden my imagination and world view. I also agree that writing about real people, is something that I would probably refrain from. However, with the rise of characters that are fictitious representations of real people, both directly and indirectly, there are even some shows, that I would rather avoid writing about, just because they toe, a palpably, unpopular grey line. For instance, I actually enjoyed the cartoon, The Prince, (I hate myself for admitting that), and I wanted to write a fan-fic to resolve it's cliffhanger ending. But I never wrote one, because I feel, that grey area, is essentially the same as writing about real people. And I'm not alone in the sentiment, that writing about characters who act as fictitious representations of real people, is essentially the same, as writing about those real people. I know that most people agree with me, since the decision to make prince George the main character of that show, was so overwhelmingly controversial, that the show's run, was ended, before the episodes were even aired.

I’ve learned to never say never when it comes to writing, usually because saying “never would” becomes an inducement to do just that. That said, involving a real person based fanfic would have a certain level of ick to it, likely invite lawsuits depending on what you’re depicting, so probably best avoided. REFERENCING a real person, can be alright though. JKR famously put Rupert’s first name into HBP (when Slughorn was trying to remember Harry’s friend’s name…). I’ve had Harry visit Graceland, so the name of Elvis comes up. Also when I wrote about my Harry getting a flood of hate mail, I put some addressed to the actor’s name with “Who’s …?” I’ve also loosely based some characters on real people before (won’t give names).

Technically, I just passed my first year on AFFnet at the moment. I believe I had an account before that, but I didn’t use it or post anything. At least that I can remember anyway.

It'll be 11 years for me in June. Back then, I had written a Phineas and Ferb fanfic and asked folks on Inkbunny for recommendations of a good site to post it. Someone recommended AFF, and I've been haunting this place ever since.

last december 30th was my 14th year here on here!! dang! seems like only yesterday i was just starting out! lol

I have a sneaking suspicion, that people aren't leaving reviews, because they don't know what they should say in them. It's something that I asked myself about, when I wanted to leave a review on a story I enjoyed. I didn't want to just say 'good job', and I also wanted to avoid saying 'this is bad' or 'good', without being as objective as I could be. So, I sat down and thought about what things a reader and writer of fan-fiction, might want to know or should know, about a fan-fic. With this in mind, I wrote down a list of things that I may or may not put in a review, depending on whether or not I think it should be said. This is the list that I now use, when writing a review. --- Was this story good or bad overall? Could you recommend the story? Give at least a vague reason or example as to why, it was good or bad for you. Do the characters have, for the most part, 'clear' and 'reasonable' motivations that drive them to do what they are doing? If motives are in doubt, can you offer improvements to the motives of their characters? Is the story too, out of place, to be believable in the 'cannon' of that 'universe'? If it does feel out of place, can you offer an improvement, so the story doesn't feel out of line with the 'cannon' of that 'universe'? How is the wording and spelling? Is it difficult or easy to read through? If it is difficult to read through, can you offer a suggestion as to how the writer can improve on those? Does the story's title, description and tags, give the reader a clear idea of what the story may be about, without, spoiling the story? Can you offer advice on how to make these more clear, without, spoiling the story? What else, if anything, do you want the readers and/or the writer to know, about this story? --- These are of course, things that I felt would be important in a review, for both a reader and writer. I think this would be a good template for those who are looking to give an 'objective' review, but don't know where to start. Of course I'm always eager to hear other's thoughts and perspectives on the matter, and on the template I now use.

I wrote a 3-chapter story called “There’s a New Seraph in Town” that only has sex in chapter 3. People liked it anyway.

The location of a tramp stamp is fairly specific, as @GeorgeGlass noted. In general, it’s placed so that wearing pants/skirts that fasten around the waist or even a bit lower would hide the tattoo. Wearing very low-rise pants would, however, reveal the tattoo, as would a bikini bathing suit, thong panties, and so on. I suppose one could use a tramp stamp as a sort of claim tattoo, but it seems odd that a man possessive enough to ink his woman with a claim mark would place it where she’d have to dress provocatively for it to show. It’s counter-intuitive, I’d think. “If you can see the crack of her ass, you can see she’s mine because the tattoo says so.” Unless, of course, his thing is to have her on display, in which case, go for it.

I agree with @InvidiaRed on this one. If it’s a demon with the ability to think in human terms, then it’s not bestiality. If it’s an animal with the thought processes of an animal, it’s bestiality.

There is a tendency among a lot of writers to rely on profanity when they're writing a sex scene. To the writer who does this, all sex scenes have to have profanity. Someone has to be screaming “fuck me” or something for the sex scene to be readable (according to the people who rely on it). Before you start writing your scene, here are some questions you should ask yourself: 1.) Who are the characters in your scene? Is it in their personality or their diction to use that type of profanity, even in extreme situations? If not, then your characters won't actually be in the scene you write. Instead, it’ll be charicatures of your characters. 2.) What was the build up to the scene you are writing? Was it two characters confessing their feelings in an intimate fashion, or was it just animal lust? The former sets into the story better with as little profanity as possible (preferably none). If it, for example, was an encounter in the backroom of a sex club, then feel free to go as heavy with profanity as you’d like because it sets into your story. These are just my opinions. Take them for whatever little they're worth.

This is off topic, but you should check out an anime called “Food Wars”. There's 36 volumes in the manga, and the manga actually has practical recipes for the food that they're cooking in the show! But getting back on topic, it is definitely true that profanity in the correct spots can actually enhance the effectiveness of an attempt at communication, but too much shows not only articulation inadequacies but literacy inadequacies as well.

Breeding season. nods wisely

Hey sometimes the urge hits, wherever it may. When you’re cave spelunking and your instructor is getting frisky in a tight confined space for example…. Hypothetically. of course. 😏

Um… multiple locations (Ron had taken something to let him recover/reuse fast), which meant four separate sets of citations. The “cleaner” version of the story lets the reader construct the date from Harry listing the citations, while the “explicit” version shows the date details Thus for citations 3 & 4: “Ought to demand a refund,” Harry said, “Clearly an all–you–can–eat buffet should include a free banger.” “Aw,” Harry said, “Guess the opera didn’t appreciate you two climaxing at their climax.”

That’s the sad truth, isn’t it? “Take this position for minimum wage, and we’ll move you up when there’s an opening.” But the opening never comes, or the manager’s kid gets tapped for it, and you get stuck at minimum wage, doing the work of two people because the manager’s kid isn’t actually going to do anything. Or you look at job listings, and they want five or more years experience for an entry level position that was advertised as no experience required. (My Elderspawn is beating their head against that wall at present.) And writing? If you’re talking fiction writing, the generally accepted wisdom is that most writers need a day job to pay the bills. You’ll never make a living as a writer of fiction unless you get very, very lucky. What you’re likely to find is those situation you referenced: Write us a few pieces for free, and we’ll get you a post where you get paid. Possibly. Unless we can figure out a way to get you to keep writing for free…

*le sigh* I speak English as a second language, but I’ve studied… now… four other foreign languages. I can’t speak any of them, really, to any extent, but I have retained enough that I can read simple instructions in the other Scandinavian languages (except for Finnish, obviously And no offence, but Faroese is just gibberish) and I can recognise when people are speaking French or German, and related languages. And I still pretend to retain some of my ability to understand a bit of written Japanese At least I am smashing my Duolingo course in Japanese, and I do have a BA degree in that, so I feel I must pretend that I still know a bit I also tried to study Spanish, but failed miserably, because I kept mixing it up with my French, so I gave up and took German instead So, that’s native language, fluent in English, and studied four more, plus a bit of Spanish The joys of a tiny country school system.

*grins* You get fast-tracked to becoming staff.

Why not have her call him a little virgin?

So, lots of news: --I just posted a new chapter of “Master Plan”: Chapter 2: Shower Power --Shortly before that, I sent a new one-shot Loud House house story off to beta. It's basically a PWP piece about Lincoln, Luna, and Lucy. --I was recently pleased to discover that I’m now in 2nd place on AFF's list of most recommended authors! I guess even if you don't write Harry Potter or Naruto stories, you can make it up in volume.

I like both, but if the story is mainly meant to be erotic, the writer has to know what they’re doing for buildup to work well. It can be super-sexy if it’s done right and super-dull if it’s done wrong.

Yes, either via immortality or some kind of endless loop. Or it’s clear that the nightmarish quality of the ending is not static and is going to get measurably worse over time, and there’s nothing the MC can do to stop it. I, um, did that too. (sorry Abbe)

I think it depends whether you’re reading straight up porn or erotica, since erotic writing is more character driven, and that tends to be what I want from my fanfiction, when I consume it. In any case it’s extremely rare to see multiple orgasms written well, but that’s just my opinion. I’m not sure you’re asking the right question. If I’m answering this as a reader, and you’re the author, I’m countering with: how did you hook me into your story? Was it the promise of porn/sexual gratification, or something more? Did you make me curious about the consequences/aftermath or make me want more? Because those things are the job of the author. If you hook me right, I will read it.

To be fair, Kirk did start the whole boldly going where no man has gone before thing and Spock is likely keeping the ship logs professional. Nevermind the enterprise would be hook up and fling central for everybody aboard the mini city flying through space.

It could be someone who gets together with a love interest, but there’s no firm commitment like a marriage or mating contract. It could be that whatever the Big Problem was has been resolved, and for the time being, at least, the MCs aren’t in any danger or at risk, and can canoodle happily until life rears its head and something nasty appears again. For most publishers, they would say it means the characters are happy at the end of the novel without any assurance that the happiness is going to last forever.

For me, it depends on what I’m writing. Publishers tend to want happy-ever-after endings or at least happy-for-now endings. So, if I’m going to submit what I’m writing to a publisher, I try for at least the HFN ending. When I write for myself, I’m much less inclined to write happy endings. I’m never quite sure life has a happy ending in most cases, although I’m firmly in the camp of life having happy bits throughout. But I think how people cope with adversity that doesn’t resolve neatly is far too interesting not to write it.

Fixed, bugged review with no uid.

Hello! It's nice to meet you! 🙂

I'm not always big on using sex toys in stories (I tend to prefer the "hands-on" approach). But if the story is set in a world with magic or advanced technology, I sometimes feel that I'm wasting an opportunity if I DON'T include at least one special toy.

Yep. And mentally I make PWP out to be “plot, what plot?” more than “porn w/o plot”, though both apply. So, technically, the little unreleased tale makes everything I’ve posted so far… BACKSTORY. Yep, though the group of one allows for some interesting context too.

Alright, sharing this from my story ideas/notes scratchpad: A pastor giving a children's sermon on vestments asks, "Why do you think I wear this collar?" One kid answered, "Because it kills ticks and fleas up to 30 days?"
