CloverReef

I’m totally in! I’ll start working on something right away—I have some ideas that have been percolating in the darker corners of my brain.

I’m soooo in! I got my submission all ready too! *rubs hands together* 

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!  Almost…

Here to announce the call of spooks, horrors, ghouls, and creepers!  In the writing, of course…  Unless they bring candy, then they’re welcome.  
So, every year at this time, we have the Halloween Anthology!  WOO!  Treats, tricks, and…  possibly horror?  Everyone is more than welcome to participate and enjoy themselves, present a story for everyone’s treats!  More if you’re feeling generous after everyone else has had some  .  
IF you would like to participate, there are a few simple rules to adhere to…  
Oneshots (Under 50k words)  Original fiction  Halloween or Horror theme Of course, include all the appropriate warnings at the beginning of your story. Any questions regarding submissions, you can message me or ask them in here.  If you’d like to announce your idea, you can do so here or PM me.

Anyone else wanting to participate, just let me know.  Those participating, just let me know title, blurb, and tags (if you have them).  Will open the archive post on the 20th!  Have ghoulish, possibly bloody and gory, fun!  

Likely in October! I believe TCR intends to host it this years, so he’ll make an announcement soon if he still intends to! 

That is so beautiful. Thank you, pittwitch.

A long, long time ago, in what feels like another lifetime, I wrote a tribute piece for a dear friend who passed away.  The piece was for publication in the flyer for his memorial race.  Yesterday, his son, now my neighbor, stood in my yard, with tears in his eyes, thanking me for writing the piece, capturing what that part of his dad’s life was all about.  I didn’t sign the piece.  He just knew it was me.  He says he goes through his dad’s scrapbook every year, takes out that flyer, and smiles.
So for those of us who write, alone in the dark, with no idea who is reading, keep writing.  If your words only touch one person, you have succeeded!  Keep writing!

A review on Blackburn Chapter 2 (or, the second short I did) by @CloverReef
Glad you liked her. I based her off a character I saw in a video, with them big glasses and top hat. Besides, a tailor has to be well dressed. 
Glad you liked it, glad it was hot. And, immediate contradictions is fun. Especially when lust is involved.

I’m a big numbers person and wouldn’t delete reviews even if they were flames because hey, at least they reviewed!
My first flame was on my first Sailor Moon/Dragonball Z crossover that I co-wrote with an old friend in 2002 when I was 14.
If I recall correctly, fans of my fic messaged the flamer endlessly until they apologized. Later on, they came back (probably 6 months later) and gave a constructive feedback review that outlined how I could improve, what was wrong, and areas that I needed to work on. I appreciate that this person did come back later and give me constructive feedback. It’s probably one of my most memorable flames and later constructive feedback reviews.

For Trust the Dead

 
@Sinfulwolf A little bit of approval of my profanity is going to make a monster out of me, I hope you realise, because that means fucking everything, lol. I’m so glad you enjoyed this first chapter. It’s a genre I love soooo goddamn much, and I’m actually pretty proud of this atm. Thank you so much for the review <3

Aww come on, come for a visit!  You’ve got a good 50/50 chance of surviving!  Those are some fine odds!

That article’s got some awesome advice. I’m taking notes! Turns out I haven’t been nearly as douchebaggy as I should be with publishers, and I’ve been writing the wrong stories! Zombie politicians, here I come!

This made me laugh so thought I’d share it!
Sample:
I swear someone on AFF has already written that :p
 

@lissa How about a hug instead?

I know this has nothing to do with the actual story, but damn how lazy are people now a days?
They were told directly where to find the link, can’t be bothered to scroll back!
Don’t get me started on the people who rather post ‘find me’ this instead of doing a simple google search!  It takes at most a few minutes most of the time.  I know that is all it takes me to find their damn stories!!!!

Ok, rant over I apologise to the moderators, and will take the slap on the wrist for ranting.

@JayDee I think they might actually be able to find it now, thank you!

How would we know? There’s a link to their story there, so why not go ask them on AO3?
 

We don’t mind really, if the story is posted elsewhere and a link to it is put in the response to the challenge, but this forum is meant to be for users of Adult-fanfiction.org, so, if the story isn’t posted in our Archive, we would prefer that the readers not use this forum to discuss it. I can’t see what’s strange about that rule.

That’s useful to know! Wish I hadn’t deleted it now or I’d have reported it too. My rule of thumb is I’ll sometimes read spammy emails but I never click the links or open attachments/”view pictures”
