“Appreciating something doesn’t imply I’m sexually attracted, or should we ask your Christmas tree?”

Read an essay about lesbian lizards. Some species that no longer had males and could still reproduce didn’t need to have sex anymore but did anyway or something.
-
Well, sex is recreational too, so what else is a lizard to do when they have nothing else to do?
-
IKR? They can only sun on rocks and eat crickets for so long!

And my halloween fic has been finished! Now, the usual week for it to age properly, and I’ll be posting it next weekend.
-
Any rumours of Breitbart acquiring AFF are greatly exaggerated. Hope everybody enjoys their April Fool’s day.
-
DA?? DA?? Are you hiding?
You’re definitely missed around here. Hope to see you soon.

Damm, Linkin Park. Makes me feel old.

They’re my favorite band; their music inspired me as a writer. Specifically whenever I write action, I imagine one of their song playing with the scene. Really sucks what happened
-
Their “numb” is partially responsible for my potter fic, well, writing during it, found it helpful. Yeah, sucks when I heard about it on the radio coming home from work today.
-
I was actually devastated when I heard. Just the other day, I was telling myself that I would attend the next concert that comes my way, no matter what. And then this happens. I use several of their songs for “soundtracks” on my stories, particularly my Lyght series. Downloaded every single album they made except the most recent one (A Thousand Suns was okay to me; Hybrid Theory and Meteora tie for favorites, with Reanimation running a close second). I’m just hurt...

Found this excellent gardening tip on facebook!
REMEMBER: When you bury a body, cover it with endangered plants so it’s illegal to dig it up.

Aw, here in AZ you have to make do with the desert or the long list of abandoned mines.
-
So, you’d say you’d stand out in AZ if you started a garden featuring endangered plants?
-
Related (from FB), two ladies in a kitchen
Lady 1> Where’s your husband?
Lady 2> In the garden
Lady 1> I didn’t see him
Lady 2> You need to dig a little

Had a relapse on Fallout today, will have to get back on the wagon...later.

Had this really weird dream, that started with me I going to school poised as Jeff, when the PA comes on, announcing a notice about my (real life) name.
Maybe it’s a sign?

Happy Birthday DG!

I posted a chapter, which means, I’ve met my NaNoWriMo goal, with a little extra, several hundred over 200k.
Next month….hmmm, I need a goal. 300k would be a bit much, but 250k seems too small, maybe 275k? Thinking about it.
-
I thought I’d be working on the repair guy today. Instead, my mind's chewing on the sequel to "Dale’s Game” … at least i’ve got two chapters written so far. Next up, naughty priests

Very naughty priests

Just finished my draft for my holiday fic… now to wait until the weekend to post… (Well, I also need to think up a summary)
- DP
-
Must confess… this post in @Praetor ‘s topic irked me, but it didn’t feel right replying in a thread (where, no offense, not reading the relevant story).
16 hours ago, Guest Nappa said:Is the author ever coming back or can we see if someone else can take the stories over
The sense of self-entitlement here reeks, IMO, threatening a hostile takeover of a story because the author might be having a life outside of writing.

Now, AFF policies are a bit more stringent than the other sites. In addition to plagiarism, AFF doesn’t allow fanfic of fanfic (unless credited with permission of that other author); FFN is silent, AO3 has an “inspired by” annotation. I make the distinction given that’s how I caught the writing-as-a-hobby bug; I was inspired by another fanfic, and I do credit that other author in the relevant fanfic (not posted here).
-
Does that mean there're no 50 Shades of Grey fics? Since that's already Twilight fan fiction?? And how do you have more tags than stories? That doesn't sound mathematically possible. Anyways, thanks for the support peoples, I didn't know how much I needed that.
-
50 shades “filed the serial numbers off”, removed the elements that made it fanfic. For my sequel to the fanfic of a fanfic, I could’ve done the same to bring it to AFF, but it didn’t feel right IMO and that’s why it remains on FFN & AO3 instead (or track down that other author two decades later...).
AO3 has 16M tags, 8M stories (according to their search engine). As authors can freeform tags, they obviously got creative, like each story is required to create two tags, on average. It’s so many that I check the “Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings” box to cover my arse.
But yeah, you’re welcome. Supporting authors is a nice thing here, the forums, being able to whine or stick up for others, and have a shoulder to lean on when needed.

Nice comment in an article I read today.
“The Internet is filling up with porn and unless we can get help downloading it, pretty soon there won't be room for anything else.”
I’m willing to help

Clogging all the available bandwidth with porn is the only thing preventing the rise of Skynet.

On the FOURTH day of Christmas, a true love ought to give:
FOUR scammers getting baited and losing their gift cards
THREE busted spammers’ modems
TWO broken spammer’s modems1
ONE spammer’s head in a pear tree1Credit to @BronxWench for the second line
-
Can you tell I’ve gotten peeved at the spammers slithering across our website, littering our forum with their filth?
-
Believe me, Desi, we really appreciate the giggles as we fight the bastards
-
Don’t know the available settings on this thing. However, if you can update the captcha requirements to post as a guest, and get all guest-posts put into a moderation pool (for approval) before becoming visible, that might help? Even though, yes, you’re fast to remove them, it is pubic in visibility for a short period.

On the THIRD day of Christmas a true love ought to give three destroyed spammers’ modems, two broken spammers’ keyboards1, and a spammer’s head in a pear tree.
1Credit to @BronxWench for the second line, maybe a forum topic would’ve been better?
-
Sigh, that feeling when its a new chapter post and it feels like nobody’s reading it….
-
So, the answer to avoid a multi-chapter halloween fic is to add in a well placed flashback. Seems to do the trick, summarizing the mood (with a nice bonus of not having to add in the minor1 tag).
-
That sounds like a good idea. I’m just going to write a scene with established characters so the temptation doesn’t strike me to write something longer.
-
This particular halloween fic has been tough to get started, with so many options, but not wanting to stomp over where my other stories are heading. Same universe, as always, with a nice bonus that it’ll set something up to feed into another story.
-
Oh crap… Thanks for reminding me early. I always want to do a oneshot for halloween, but only ever think about it when it’s too late. Now what the hell am I gonna write?! Gaaah…
