It was actually no trouble at all, with the new beta. I do want to check with manta before I attempt moving the one from Movies to Cartoons, however. We have a new widget for that as well, but there were all sorts of cautionary statements, and I’m likely to end up summoning something I can’t banish...

Oh, cool! I hope it wasn’t too much trouble. Definitely hoping to read and review all of them before I suddenly find myself back in the black pit of despair where I spent the last four or five years! (actually, i hope to avoid that pit entirely. Depression fucking blows.)

I was able to move the stories in Cartoons to the proper subcategory. 

I am sure we can manage.

Woo! Freestyling! <3

I am getting dangerously close to actually finishing Meaningful Gifts, but I’m probably not going to have enough time to do much more than proof-read.  I’ll try and polish it a little, but it’s still going to be kind of a first draft, so I hope it goes alright for anyone who reads. 😅

I found the story in the archive and added my poem, “What Am I to You?” 
IR, would you post the link to the story so others won’t have to go searching for it?

I find myself without any good story ideas. But I’ll do a flashfic or another poem if inspiration strikes.

Checking back some (ok, seached the forum for ‘Meaningful’ :D) , I see you’ve been working it on and off since at least 2020. I know that feeling, trying to take the time to get something down exactly right. I generally just said screw it and tossed out something wrong instead :D I for one remain looking forward to it. I like some antici…. pation! [/Dr Frank N Furter] 

I’m pretty sure I’m getting old, but I’m in denial.
 

This made me think about how many authors I’d recommended. I mean, there’s been a few writers I’ve really enjoyed over the years, so I went and looked. Zero! Zilch! Nada! Sweet Fanny Adams! The square root of fuck all! My “recommended authors” page has less names than the 2025 member’s list at the Harvey Weinstein appreciation society. 
No idea why I never engaged with the author recommending feature, considering I was at least vaguely active on the archive for a while there. At least I apparently recommended a few indvidual stories over the years on the recommended reading page. Stuck a story link or two in my forum sig.
I suppose one way to look at is an author as regularly active and established as George only ended up with 150 odd recs out of all those users slamming the view count up on every story, and in a related point otherwise engaged/active users like me just never even used the feature, not receiving receving a rec doesn’t really mean anything bad. 

Oh, I didn’t realize this was actually on the table as a possibility. Good to know. I’m liking the upgrades you’re making so far.

It’s not there yet, right now we are in the process of doing a site wide code upgrade. A link to the development beta will be available to members near the end of December.

I have wondered something similar in the past. Sometimes it feels good to know who likes you.

I’m still at zero recommendations, so no need to reverse-see who’s signed up.

You are very welcome!

Our amazing manta2g has begun to roll out the emails to all our members, asking everyone to verify their email address and reset their password. This is the first phase of unlocking the site, and I'm pretty excited about it!
Please keep an eye out for our email, and follow the directions to verify your email address and reset your password. As always, if you run into any issues, you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org or give us a shout over on the forums.
 
EDIT:
Okay. I just got MY email, and I copied and pasted the validation link (first link) into a new browser tab. I backed out the “password” at the end, hit enter, and it worked.
I then clicked the password reset link in the email, and I was immediately taken to the password reset page, where I successfully updated my password.
I have NO clue why it worked for me when it’s not working for other members, but there we are.

Thank you! That has worked. I really appreciated the step by step guide. it must be tough making things fool proof when the fools get down to my level! I’ve made a note for it somewhere I am less likely to lose it this time. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I wrote the old one down, picked it up a year later and went “No, that sounds unhygenic” and threw it out. 
Your time and effort for the site is as ever appreciated!

No worries! I’ve sent the links via email.

That’s a feature on the Site > Members menu, showing the top 50 recommended authors, and should be available to anyone from the archive home page. (Just click on the three little bars, and you’ll see the submenus.) It’s a fun little Easter egg, I think!
 

OMG that works! It pulls up both “Recommended Authors” and “Recommended Reading” lists, but that’s great because it creates a vast pool of other authors and stories I might like to check out. Thank you!
I’m not sure about the alt account thing, though. Jan has a lot of time on her hands these days.

Hey, so a bit random but while just messing around trying to get back into my archive account I saw there’s now the most recommended authors listed on the members page (I don't remember it before!) sadly it doesn’t say who has George recommended, but I couldn’t help but go “Wow” at the numbers there. After George at number one, the most recommended authors at 2-5 only just have more recs combined than George does on his own! A very popular author, it seems, I for one am hoping to find time to read that Zootopia fic. I do like me some rabbit cop. And it would surely be nice to read a Zootopia fanwork that doesn’t leave me thinking Arby’s. Well, unless it does. I assume she gets the meat at any rate. 
The page I was stumbled on with the list:
https://members.adult-fanfiction.org/
(-does everyone else see that table at the top? Wasn’t sure if it was just showing because of how I reached it or something. “Top 50 Recommended Authors”?)
And back on topic slightly, I think a google search using a search string like this in bold would bring up most of the recommended authors pages with your username on it, probably missing some, but worth a shot if you then had time to click through them all to see! I’m sure they can’t all be Jan Brady’s alt accounts 😛
