Rules concerning picture uploads: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/66222-can-i-upload-pornographic-pictures-to-the-forum/ The above posts have therefore been edited accordingly. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

41653 I went back to check if I was the one who fecked up for once it wasn’t me (And then I nearly repeated Desi’s number, but caught it just in time before I posted )

I can’t seem to move the story (I’ll admit, I just don’t know how, and it’s past my bedtime ) But I have hidden the story because it’s missing a proper Disclaimer. @BronxWench will deal with it properly when she gets back on, I’m sure. Thanks for letting us know, Deadman

Then I must ask, is there really a headless horseman in Sleepy Hollow, and can we go visit him next time I come to visit you? Pretty Please? *bats Neko eyes of doom*

No worries. We have them separate basically so that the promotion of the story and chapter upload announcements don’t drown in the chat between the author and their readers, basically. You are even allowed to put a link to the Review and reply thread in an author’s note in the story, so users who don’t have a forum profile can also chat with you there. The Review and reply threads are exactly what the name suggests, a place where you can interact with your readers and other users as freely as you wish. You can thank reviewers for their reviews, and/or chat with readers who want to know more about the story, or whatever, no limits. Except just, you know, no story content Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

If you want to have a review and response thread, please create one in the appropriate subforum in the Fan Fiction part of the forum, found here: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/forum/491-fan-fiction/ This forum is only for the promotion of stories and to announce new chapters being added. You can add a link to the review reply thread in the above post, once you have created one. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Of course you can use my stories, BronxWench not a problem.

No worries, we banter, and do try our best to not be stabby with the newbies And I do try my best to answer questions as best I can too

don’t tempt me, I can get stabby when feeling generally unwell

I never put the 10 line thing in the FAQ because it only applies to the Challenges and Requests forum, since that’s where we’ve had the largest issue with people posting story content. On the rare occasions it has popped up in the Fan Fiction forum, I’ve just quietly edited the posts to comply to the ten lines rule, and left a post telling people that we don’t allow story content in the forum. Because we don’t allow story content in the forums. It’s first and foremost a copyright issue, and then as BronxWench pointed out, the forums are supposed to be a place for us to chat, bitch and moan, drum up support for writers and be a community. The only reason I allowed it in the Promote a Story forum was to be nice because of the Read Only mode having been going on for so long. And as I said above, I will be rescinding that rule as soon as we’re back up and running. And it doesn’t matter at all from where in the story those ten lines come from. Not at all. As for me obviously not having read your original question properly this morning (I claim lack of morning caffeine and general unwellness) the Promote a Story forum is exactly the place to post all the details you want about your story. There is a standard form to include in the first post in that forum, but in addition to that standard form, you can include whatever you want about the story, as long as it isn’t purely story content. So, go nuts, put in a chapter by chapter detailed description if you want to. That means something like the following: ”Chapter 4. Jack and Jill fight over who gets to carry the bucket up the hill, Jill has a mean right hook and Jack learns that getting falsies is a fucking pain in the ass, but at least it’s less expensive than the new glass eye he’s going to need.” But NOT the following: ”Chapter 4. [The actual story content describing the ridiculousness above].” Does that make sense?

I may be in need of my morning caffeine, but I’m not sure I get what you mean by “details”. If you mean something like a book cover blurb, which don’t contain any actual story content, then I think 10 to 15 lines of text should be ok, but then ONLY in the Promote a story forum (in the thread for your story) or the Great Wall. But if you mean something that contains story content, then like BronxWench said, it’s restricted to 10 lines or less. I only allowed the 35 lines of text for a preview in the Promote a Story forum because we’ve been in Read Only mode for so long, and I wanted to allow our writers a little bit of a leeway. But as soon as the Archives are back out of Read Only mode, that allowance will be rescinded and the posts containing story content in the Promote a Story forum will be cut down to the allowed 10 lines.

Melrick will delete the new account when he does the approval queue, I’m sure, since we only allow one account per user, but thank you for letting us know about it. There are some areas of the Forum that are only visible to users who are logged into their accounts, such as the PlayPen, and a few other parts. But most of the Forum is open to guest users, like the Archive and Forum tech support ones. But if you can’t use the forum for any reason, you can always reach the Archive staff on the staff email, and then they’ll tell us forum staff if it’s got something to do with the forum. I don’t have access to the staff email myself, but the head staff do, and they would let me know if a user emails about anything concerning the forum. But we’ll hopefully have an answer for you tomorrow afternoon, since we have to wait for the last of our staff for the final decision.

As I said in my earlier post, there are grounds for lifting the ban as originally intended. We’re just all on different time zones, so we’ll have to wait for the final word from the forum admin before we make our final decision. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Going back through our records it appears that the ban was turned into a permanent ban, but there is a possibility that there are grounds for lifting the ban on your profile. However, I cannot make that decision on my own, so I will have to ask the forum admin and the other staff for their input before a final decision can be made. As for the warning point, that is permanent, due to the behaviour that got you banned three months ago. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

Thank you, Ellie, for letting us know how it worked for you! We greatly appreciate the input. Willow Darkling, forum moderator.

The archive is still in read only mode so you can’t post new chapters or stories. At the moment we are working on verifying user accounts as a first step towards reopening the site, so bear with us a little longer. Willow Darkling, forum moderator

If you had an older account, and used the same email address to register a new account, BronxWench has merged and purged that. She went through some thousands of duplicate accounts by herself, with the help of George Glass, to merge and purge.

Manta said that the emails are getting sent out based on registration date, so if you’re new-ish you’d be near the bottom of the list, but hopefully you’ll get it soon and won’t have a problem with activating and resetting. Just read the instructions BronxWench has been posting in response to users having a problem, but let us know here if the instructions don’t work for you.

I left this post in Hall of Shame because I thought it was a good place where people would actually see it, clicking on it out of curiosity. But it’s moved now. Hope this is a more appropriate place for it. So, that’s on me, not on George.

That link just goes to the front page of the Archives, we need the URL to your members profile, please.
