I’m also pleased to note that ngo465’s ripoff of “Enter the Sandboy” is no longer up on FFN.

For October, I’ve been quietly rolling out small bug fixes, most are just performance based.

Two user side ones
-Site based e-mails are now fixed (turns out this was not a code based bug, fixed as of this post)
- Bold text has returned to stories.
 
DG is going to be doing some proofreading and squishing typo gremlins.

Story info editing has been fixed.

Honestly, I think we’re WAY beyond that point by now… I think they’re in the fucking software… they’re in the fucking closet, trying on our heels, sparkly dresses and our favourite lipstick at this point.

Just a reminder for our guest alliremember:  You can criticize writing technique, or even a total lack of logic in a story, but remarks about the author on a personal basis violate our Terms of Service. Keep it less toasty, please, unless you’re willing to bring enough marshmallows for everyone.

Not exactly a fandom but a book. I won’t read it. I live on my own these days and nobody makes the long trip up the hill to visit anymore so I have a pretty good idea what I’ve got in the house, and I know for a fact I did not buy that book. I certainly didn’t borrow it from the library. (They are good people there, the librarians, dedicated, and they have standards even in these days when their power and their glory is unknowingly ignored by so many). Sometimes it’s on the shelf. Sometimes it’s on the table. I’ve seen it in the kitchen cupboard and I found it in the attic when I went to investigate the noise (a swallow had got in, and driven to panic by the tome wished to get out. I helped it. Of course I did. I’m no monster no matter what the villagers said). The cover has a nice blue, though the face that gazes from it is not appealing and speaks of an unhealthy appetite, of wealth gained too young. The pages rifle pleasingly in the breeze, even in a still room. I don’t care. Offer me what you may. Tempt me, taunt me. I can’t be bought, or broken. The line is drawn, underlined, surrounded by unevenly doodled pentagrams, in both black, and in red.
I’m never gonna fucking read "May I Have Your Attention Please?" the autobiography of James Corden.
This I swear by the old gods, the new, and those yet to come.

I’ve moved this post to a more appropriate thread.
Now to the question.
The first thing is to identify the best websites for your content. For example, certain sites have content restrictions. Here on AFF, our Terms of Service and Content Guidelines are pretty clear, and spell out what we do and don’t allow. But if a site doesn’t allow, for example, fiction based on actual persons or celebrities, posting a story about a real person or celebrity isn’t going to go over well.
Once you’ve figured out what site or sites best suit your content, you need to make sure your story is going to attract readers and hold their attention. If you are able to post a summary, make it catchy. Spend a bit of time reading book summaries and blurbs to see what the professionals do. PROOFREAD AND FORMAT your story. Nothing is a bigger turn-off than typos, misused words, missing punctuation, poor grammar (unless it’s required for a piece of dialogue), and walls of text. I’ve put down published books that I paid for, and refused to finish reading them because of poor editing. You might be posting something online for free, but I truly think you still need to polish your story.
Some sites, like AFF, have forums or community boards where you can promote your story. If that’s available, use it. Include the catchy blurb, story tags, and all the other things that might catch a reader’s attention. AFF does not support cover images in the archive, and we don’t allow images in the forum that are NSFW, but some sites do allow cover images. We use our forums to allow readers to engage with authors, while other sites let you reply to reviews directly.
That’s what comes to mind for now.

Nonsense, you're very ept. 

21 years for me, as of May this year.

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.

Isn’t there also a possibility that if there’s some kind of an adblocker or something (like what Desiderius Price mentioned) that it would block some features, like the status bar?
