  5. Major Character Death Tag?

    in Writers' Corner

    Hi, Deadman and all.

    That is a brilliant question, and I’m sure that you aren’t the only one who needs to know.  While I haven’t “killed off” any of the Golden Trio in any of my HP crossovers, I have killed off a villain or few ‘early’ in both of the big ones.  And, I might even un-kill a ghost or few before I’m done, too.

    @BronxWench? 

    Thanks in advance.

    There are two options. If the character is central to the story, even if they die offstage, so to speak, I‘d recommend the Major Character Death (MCD) tag. If the character is not central to the story, you could use the Minor Character Death (MiCD) tag, to alert readers to the death of a character without having them pull their hair out over losing one of the stars of the canon.

  9. Can a tramp stamp tattoo go anywhere?

    in Writers' Corner

    Posted

    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.

    Fair enough.

    Is there a place where the story stats – specifically the number of views and reviews – can be pulled up besides finding in the archive?  The story manager would be a good place since it brings up all the stories you have in that category.

    And while I am at it, is catergory on purpose? It makes me itch every time I see it.

    @Desiderius Price is correct—you can view your stats in your profile under the Stories Written tab, which is a pretty quick way to access those details. When you look there, you’ll see all the subdomains where you’ve published stories, and clicking on any of those subdomains gives you all the stories with their statistics.

    And that’s one of a few typos in the archive that make me itch as well, but sadly, I don’t have access to fix those metaphorical pebbles in my metaphorical shoe. While things are still being debugged, it hasn’t been a priority to fix the typos.  We’ll get to it, though, if only to soothe the editor portion of my brain.

  16. New Review Emails

    Well it’s funny, for this site I use Yahoo mail but for another site I use a different one and I get emails from this forum but not the main archive. For other sites, I don’t get  any emails at all. Although occasionally I can get them, but then it stops again.

    Some email clients, like Microsoft and Yahoo, have filters in place that can erroneously mark incoming mail as spam. When we sent out the emails to our members about the recent reactivation, Yahoo delayed or simply rejected an enormous number of our emails. There were also issues with the Microsoft email clients, particularly Outlook and Hotmail. So not receiving review emails, when that feature is up and running properly again, might require tweaking your email settings.

    It’s so refreshing to meet people who remember dial-up, and the joys of being able to say you had a 2400 baud modem when your friends only had 1200 baud. :lol: 

    Once we finish debugging the last bits of the updated code, members will be able to add tags manually, in addition to the tags available in the dropdown. We pared our tag list down in an effort to make it manageable, but I don’t recall boob sex or cleavage sex being a tag even before the culling of the tags. We would have no problem with your adding the tag manually, at the top of the chapter if you like, or I can add it into the tag field for you.

    As far as the age-related tags, we want there to be no ambiguity about the content because it can be extremely triggering for readers. If someone sees mf as a tag, given that the newsgroups aren’t the main source of written smut, it is highly likely the reader will not understand it denotes adolescents under the age of 18 because it is written in lower case, and bg won’t be interpreted as “boy/girl” as intended by the newsgroup usage. Most readers don’t keep the tag list open, so we want to make it as clear and transparent as possible. The word “Minor” is unambiguous enough to make a reader stop dead if they don’t want to read that sort of content.

    I have an account on here under my pen name 'dragonlady'. However I have the same problem as the person above my old email address has been deleted and I can't get back in! I have messaged support several times but to no avail. 

    I’ve just gotten your email, and have sent you the links you’ll need to get back into your account. I’ve also updated your email address in our database.

    I’ll need your profile url, or you can email me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org so I can send you links to allow you to log in and reset your password. 

  24. Are there good and bad rules around responding to reviews?

    in General Staff Questions

    Posted

    Review replies go in the Fan Fiction section of the forum, in one of the four threads right after “Searching for a Fic”. 

    I use a general thread for my original fiction, and another general thread for my fan fiction. (That’s why I identify the story by name, and then the reviewer name before I quote the review itself.) Both of those live in the All Other Subdomains section, under their own subcategories of Original Writing and Games.

    So, for your Buffy fiction, you’d post the review reply thread in the Non Anime/Single Fandom Subdomains section, in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer subcategory.
