breast cancer is something that's very important to me. so my icon reflects that. self examinations are one of the leading prevention methods available. (and i'm a breast expert and willing to help with that)

first hand experience isn't necessary when it comes to writing. sometimes, really good research and a bit of imagination are all you really need. let's say you're writing something painfully distressing like abuse. you don't want to have first hand experience. you want to be able to say that you are thankfully distanced from that and your imagination and research are more than enough to write something convincingly enough. with BDSM fics, the important thing to remember is to think about what you're trying to convey through the story. do you want the shock value that comes so easily with it or do you want to actually try to explore the emotional resonance that completely submitting to another person, or on the flip side, completely controlling another person brings to a relationship. BDSM is more than just tying somebody up and whipping the hell out of them until they say 'Master!'/'Mistress!' first hand experience in the BDSM world would be most helpful. however it's not necessary. there are a ton of open sites that explain various aspects of the lifestyle. and most of the times, you get opinions from both sides, from the submissive, the slave or the Dominant. you just have to keep in mind that there is more than the 'scene' when it comes to a BDSM relationship. there's more than just beating another person (no matter how consensual). BDSM relationships can be some of the most rewarding relationships available, but there's a lot that has to be sacrificed on both ends. not everyone is capable of living within the BDSM lifestyle. but that doesn't mean that you can't write about it. imagination goes an incredible distance in crafting a great story. personally, i use a lot of personal, first hand experience in my fics. but i also use a lot of research and studying. there's a ton of wonderful things, a lot of scary things available out there, but at the same time, there's a lot of interesting things to explore. and you can never learn anything about something new without a little bit of research. (if that makes sense!) that's my opinion, and i'm sorry i rambled a little bit!

i post on three different sites, depending on what it is i'm posting. i post here on aff, obviously. as a lot of the things that i write happens to be yaoi/slash, i post on y!gallery. and a lot of the stuff that i write at the moment is in the naruto fandom so i also post on TONFA. i used to post on ff.net, but an incident with a troll who tried to steal one of my stories has caused me to be a bit more leery. and ff.net's response to the incident, and tons of proof that it was mine first, has decided that i won't be posting new stories there anymore.

the CONTRO sounds like a good idea, but i think it needs to be used as an optional choice. it would be nice if somebody was going to write something controversial and warn others that they are, but it shouldn't be something adopted as necessary. the biggest problem with that is because what's controversial or offensive to one person wouldn't necessarily be the same to somebody else. however, that being said, there should be special warning for people who are about to read rape, anything involving minors, death fics (be they murder, accidental, suicidal, or natural), and things involving BDSM. nothing necessarily controversial about a lot of those things, but people tend to get up in arms about the topics the most.

i'm going to re-edit some of my older stories. i need to bring the level of quality in the older fics up to the level i expect of myself with my new ones. the stories are all completely finished and so there's no time constraints with them. they are inuyasha, tsubasa, gravitation, and naruto stories. also, most of them deal with darker topics, angst and rape, het and yaoi. if you've the time, and are willing to help me with this, please let me know! thank you very much!

You're: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest! by Ken Kesey You're crazy. This has led people to attempt to confine you to a safe place so that you don't pose a danger to yourself or others. You feel like you pose a great danger to the man (or maybe the woman) or whatever else is keeping you down. But most of the time, you just end up being observed. Were you crazy before you were confined? haha. that's great.

for me, a good story has plot, interesting characters and it continues to draw you in, no matter how many times you read it. and i would love to put my own story up here and say it's one of my faves, but i'm really actually not that into pimping my own story. so i'll pimp somebody else's. nomme de plume has written a plethora of incredible stories, but my favorite of piece of work from her would have to be here's to the fox in the naruto fandom. it's incredible. the plot's original and fresh. the characters are wonderful. and i can't tell you how many times i've read this story.

i am terrified to death of birds. they scare the living crap out of me. if there are birds gathered in one area, i go someplace else. if somebody has birds in their home, i have a hard time being anywhere near the house. i hate seeing them anywhere. i hate them. they scare the shit out of me. also, i'm terrified of noises in my house. if i'm not one hundred percent sure of any noise a house makes, i'm afraid it's something out of the ordinary. i also have a lot of paranoid induced fears: the tree in front of my house is going to fall on the house, the ceiling fans will fly off of the ceiling and behead us all, big rigs will crush me in my car if i get between them, the dogs are going to eat my face off, the floor creaks so one day it's just going to completely collapse on me, i'm going to drown in the tub if i fall asleep, etc.

while it seems that you've managed to get an intelligent threatening letter, it still would prove to be vastly time consuming for the person to pursue something like this. this is, for all intents and purposes, an adult site where adults can gather and share their writings, regardless of whether they offend somebody or not. true, pedophilia in any form is a squick of mine. it does nothing for me, but some people happen to find the emotional ramifications of those kinds of stories to be incredible. and yes, some people write it purely for the shock value, but some people actually do it to find a way to explore what actually happens. the tos say that you won't write anything involving real characters under the age of 18. this story, as disturbing as it may be, is about an original character. it doesn't involve the child next door and what his daddy does to him. it's a fictional invention of the author and an opportunity for her to express herself, however she sees fit. she has all of the proper alerts and warnings and codes on the story, so she really doesn't violate any of the things that she agreed to when she signed up. and if you were going to remove the stories that do deal with main characters under the age of 18, you would have to remove the majority of the fandoms available here. starting with naruto, final fantasy, the gundams, inuyasha, harry potter, fullmetal alchemist, bleach, loveless, avatar, teen titans, etc., as a majority of published materials deals with children in the main characters- focusing on younger and younger audiences. and then, because that is a personal opinion in regards to the nature of fiction as it was presented, you would need to remove everything that offends other people. and that would take away from the slash, the fem-slash, bestiality, and threesomes. because to somebody somewhere that's an offensive topic. if you were to bow to everyone who expressed a distaste for stories that involved things they didn't like, there would really be nothing here. no one agrees completely with the next person about what is a good story- sexual or not. the first amendment states that a person has the freedom to express themselves as long as it doesn't harm another person. yelling fire in a crowded movie theater is bad because you can hurt people. writing a story that involves a child is not bad because you aren't doing anything. as i understand most writing to occur, you don't actively write with another person egging you on. besides, the person who wrote you as a member of the community agreed to the tos and what they entailed. including: by being a member of this site, s/he as agreed that people will write what they want to write, and as a member of this adult site, it will not be seen as obscene and that they are entitled to write what they want. every person has their own idea of what is acceptable and what isn't. this person finds that stories with a minor isn't good, in their own opinion. and that's what it all really boils down to. it's an opinion of this person. and kudos to him/her for expressing his/her opinion, but it can't be allowed to influence the entire site. i write stories that involve children in sexual situations, and i don't regret it. and i won't apologize for it either. this is an adult site where i am allowed to express myself however i see fit. if i wanted more restrictions on my stories, i would look into other sites that offered limits. so, don't give in. it's not going to do much but agitate other writers.

unfortunately, there's not really a lot that can be done. people will review if they want to, and they won't if they don't. i do know that there's a review exchange thread in the review forum where you can post your story to have it reviewed. it basically works like this: you review somebody's story (and do more than good job, write more soon) and post one that you would like to have reviewed. somebody reviews it and puts their story up in reward for reviewing your story. that's a good way to try to get your reviews up. but really, there's not a lot that can be done to increase your review ratio. unless you can make somebody start reviewing every story they read. (which would be wonderful, wouldn't it?)

it's possible, and i've seen a lot of very well written rp's turned into stories. the thing to remember with that though is that you have to go about editing that rp with a serious editor's eye. you can't leave any traces that it's an rp put up for reading. if people are going to read a story, they want to see well thought out plots and they want to see things that flow. rp format can be very disruptive, without an editor's surgical eye to fix it. but, if you can read through it seriously, you can create a decent, enjoyable story. the best way to do it is to edit it as a third person. don't edit it as one of the authors of the story, think of yourself as a third person completely, so that you can stay objective. when you've finished it and you're satisfied, find a beta who is completely unfamiliar with the rp and have them read through it. if the beta can read it seamlessly without finding obvious clues about the different authors, than it's good to go. that's my advice.

i have no excuse to use for myself because i'm guilty of a certain little bad habit i have, and i can't get too mad about people who don't review my own stories since i'm a reader and not all the time reviewer. it would be nice to say i have reviewed everything i have ever opened in my browser. but i haven't. and a lot of the times, it's because i see a story at the top of the list of the stories and open it to have a look, especially because it's got a decent rating and a fair number of reviews. i look at the story and am absolutely appalled by the content within the story. so i click the back button. there's a hit, but no review. i'm a firm believer that you should review a story you read. but sometimes, it's best to exercise the shining rule: 'if you've nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.' when i review, and it's not a great story but has potential, then i prefer the sandwich review technique. basically you say something nice to start things off, give your criticism, then finish off with something nice. it softens the blow, especially if you've a lot to say negatively about the story. generally, you should be able to find something positive about a story, regardless of anything else. but, i have to say that perhaps some people click on stories and don't like what's going on within in so they hit the backspace. and that's okay, i suppose. it sucks, because it drives the hits up and kills the review/hits ratio, but it's best to have somebody look at the story, decide they don't like it, and leave it alone than to have somebody who is disgusted by your story and flame you. however, when i do review, which is pretty frequently, i leave detailed reviews. as a beta reader, i feel it's important to tell people what they have done well, to tell people what i enjoyed within their story. it's also important to point out to somebody what i think could have been improved and what i would have liked to have seen. people post stories to make them better writers, that is my firm belief. and i want to do everything that i can to try to help them along.

in my opinion, just about any review is a good review. and i am one of those people who will review for each chapter of a story i read, or for a group of chapters. it's always a wonderful feeling to get reviews on the stories that i've put out there, and i can't imagine getting better praise on my stories than to have somebody react enough to it to leave me a comment, no matter how short, long, or how many times they've reviewed the same story. reviews make a person feel good. and i'm even guilty of repeat reviewing, just because i can. because sometimes, you read a story and you react one way. and then you come back to that story, because for some reason it's stuck in your head, and you review it again because you react a different way. it's about reactions to a story that make you review (be they a good reaction or a bad reaction, you can not deny that you review a story because of it). just because somebody's forgotten a story, and repeat reviewed is nothing bad. i know a couple of people who review a story once on this site and then they find the story again and review again. it doesn't necessarily mean they forgot the story since the first time they read it, it just means they reacted to the story again. and they want you to know it. also, a lot of repeat reviewers are going to be people who read a ton of stories. it's not always easy to remember which story you've read, especially when you read a lot of stories. i have a reviewer that reads a ton of stories and even repeat reviews (i know because sometimes i get links from my repeat reviewer to stories that are similar or i would like based on my genre of writing *shrugs*). while it can be a tad annoying (you're forced to think: is my story not good enough to be readily recognizable in a reader's mind?), it's also complimentary. at least they've come back for a round two.

i would love to see more stories on aff that revolved around plot, rather than porn. i come to aff to read stories more often than not because other fansites i am a part of are rather childish. and it's silly to continue reading on there and trying to weed out stories written by a thirteen year old becomes tiring after awhile. and yes, i recognize that aff is an adult site. but that's all the more reason for there to be more to it. because adults are the ones who access the site, adults are the ones who contribute (supposedly). that's what makes me prefer aff to other sites. and i don't like to read an original story unless it's already completed, because i'm picky like that. and i would prefer to read a regular novel from the library, if i could get there. but i can't, for various reasons. it would just be nice to see more mature work on the site. that's my biggest complaint.
