    BronxWench got a reaction from Wilde_Guess in How to add tags after posting?   
    At the moment, the ability to add tags after posting a story isn’t working. Our coder is aware of it, and she’s working on it. Hopefully, we can get this working again, but in the meantime, using the Author’s Note to add tags is perfect.

    BronxWench got a reaction from Deadman in Major Character Death Tag?   
    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.

    Good to know! I'll be sure to be more careful about it in the future then.

    After posting i realized, i'd like add more tags and change the rating from adult to adult +, now i can easily change the story rating or category from the drop down menu, but it looks like Content tags doesn't have a similar feature. I've tried to manually enter the tags using their abbreviations and then separate them myself, but that doesn't seem to work. If if leave the content tags as is and just change the story rating that won't load either.

    I looked at the FAQ, but that doesn't have anything for this either.

    For now i have put the story information and content warning in the Author's Note before the story.

    Hi, @Deadman, @Desiderius Price, and all.
    I would have to agree with Desiderius more, though I also see your point.  We’ve been talking more about the explicitness of sex, sexuality, and sexual tension versus whether to have any “s, s, and st” at all.
    There are some stories where “s, s, and st” just don’t belong.  There are others where you can’t possibly avoid at least some of that.  But, how explicit do you want or feel the need to get?
    In “Star Wars Episode Two,” the screen writers don’t show what Annikin Skywalker does to the Tuskan Raiders.  Instead, they have a deeply traumatized Annikin relate what he did to them to Padme, in the very scene after they show him cut his way out of the tent where he held his mother while she died.  In that case, the violence was made even more real by not being directly shown to the viewer.
    In the case of your (potential if not already written) stories, you don’t need to remove, and probably should keep the “lead-up” to the sex scenes, and even include the sex participant’s internal thoughts about their circumstances, however explicitly you describe their assignations.  This would, if you do it right, increase both the eroticism and drama of each scene, whether you got to near-clinical explicitness about ‘how each of her pubic hairs curled differently when anointed with the dew of their passion,’ or how he was packing ‘double-Peroni-Bologna that anointed her between her belly button and sternum before he planted it vigorously in...’ or simply faded to black while they kissed passionately even while unfastening each other’s belts and jeans.
    Explicit sex without any explanation or leading tension is not just pornography, it’s typically mediocre pornography at best, even in print.  So, Elliot and Karen started randomly and explicitly copulating on the courthouse steps.  Okay, why did they start doing that where and when they did?  If you try to answer that question, then you’ve bridged the gap between the ‘wank-o-thon’ and an actual story.  If you do it well, people will want to read it.  Or, if you’re only going for the ‘wank-o-thon’ readers, leave the ‘excess’ prose in the bit bucket of your word processor of choice.
    Cheers!

    I read for plot more than sex, if I’m being very honest. I don’t care how much sex is in a story, or how early it appears, if the story’s plot doesn’t hook me. And that goes for fan fiction as well as original fiction.
    I think, reading as much here as I do, I’m somewhat jaded.

    BronxWench got a reaction from InvidiaRed in Can a tramp stamp tattoo go anywhere?   
    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.

    A tramp stamp is any tattoo that is visible on the lower back to the buttocks and may contain salacious or eye catching images.
     
    🤣 Had a friend whose boyfriend was a tattoo artist so I may or may not and will neither confirm nor deny lol.

    @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.

    I hope so too! It looks like either a space of a line return went missing somewhere. I’m 99% code-stupid, but I’ve done some very minor programming review for fire alarm panels (don’t ask!) and a dropped space or line return could screw the entire program, necessitating a line-by-line review.

    The “MIME-Version 1.0” portion shouldn’t appear. The emails should come from just “noreply@adult-fanfiction.org” so perhaps that’s something in the code that needs tweaking?

    Back in the day when dinosaurs still roamed the earth and your only connection to the interweb was dial-up, your only source for written smut were newsgroups.  The two big ones were alt.sex.stories (a.s.s.) and alt.sex.stories.moderated (a.s.s.m.).  There, tags were manually put in by the writers rather than selected from a drop down list and to indicate the active characters in a story the letters were repeated, to a point. MF, MM, MMF, MFFF, as examples which gave a clearer idea what to expect in a story.  By convention the limit was three with a plus added for even larger groups, MFFF+ for some guy captured by an Amazon band.
    Also, MF were the letters used for adults, mf for adolescent teens, and bg for pre-teens, better, I think than Minor1 and Minor2.
    Finally, could another checkbox with a blank to fill be added for those really unusual actions?  In the first story I’ve posted in my Avatar Tales, First Date (plug!) Zuko brings Lin to climax by fingering her – in the list – but she returns the favor by letting him thrust in her ample cleavage – not in the list.  It wasn’t a hand job, exactly, and certainly not a blow job so I could see no way the indicate 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.
