  1. Story 1 From TOSMail: story 2 From TOSMail:
  2. I would most certainly be interested. I use NotifyList to do that but it's glitchy at best at times. Someone to do it for me would be most helpful.
  3. http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/review.php?s...mit=&page=4 review: http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/review.php?s...mp;no=600023733 review:
  4. I have a good one of InuPapa i trade off with, he's sleeping. it's great!
  5. Mine heheheheh i didn't draw the pic i just made a wallpaper out of it
  6. Anytime. That's what we're here for.
  7. The problem is that you are in the Games sub-domain not in the original. In your authors panel along the left side near the very top (under where all the standard site tabs are) is something called Take Me To.... that is the main jump menu. Pull that down then go to original. It's there you find categories where your story would go. Hope that helps
  8. For those interested, I use this link to help with some words. It's great! It also has a section on there of what NOT to use in any case. Now, coming in from the published world of erotica, the one thing I saw on all sites when I was looking to submit was they want 1.) heat factor-to make the sex scenes as hot, erotic and believable as you can possibly get them and 2.) for you to use the correct terms for things in the way real people would refer to them. Some colorful euphemisms are fine but what they want is real and a sex scene that people can visualize. They also want it tailored to what you are writing. That at least gives you some hints as to what people seem to look for
  9. Tried going through the threesome/moresome section but with very little luck so looking for some recommendations. I would prefer finished stories or ones that are still being currently worked on with the LM/SS/HP or HP/RL/SB themes. Any and all recommendations welcome!
  10. For the most part, all the reviews i get are very positive and make me grin a bit. But this one for Supreme Conquest, it came from IFF, made my month... i needed something to reduce the swelling in the head after that one O_o However, there are two others that though they didn't make my head swell, even today they crack me up This was was for The Ultimate Revenge, from Dokuga... And this one from ff.net for Sesshomaru vs the Care Bears... Both of those still put a grin on my face when i see them I love all my reviews and it was hard to just pick these but they stand out for me. Sometimes those reviews sure help when your struggling with something in a story
  11. This is for the Inuyasha section... a post canon catagory and tag would be great since the manga ended there are now tons of post canon stories.
  12. Fans have been waiting for this and it's finally starting tonight! The Anime continues. Below is the LEGAL link where you can watch it in english as it's broadcast in Japan! http://www.shonensunday.com/anime/
  13. This is from my current blog post (http://danyealle.blogspot.com) and i think it sums it up very well.... Once of the single biggest complaints I hear when it comes to posting on free sites, both fan fiction and ‘regular’ ones, is the fact that very few people review stories or rank them. The truth of the matter is that less than one percent of people that read a story will rank or review it. It’s always been that way and probably always will no matter what an author says or does. It’s easy for authors to blame readers for this, and many do-loudly, but the realism is there are plenty of authors out there that help that problem perpetuate with what they do. Like I already said, it’s easy to blame the readers, but the realism is that there are many authors out there that do plenty of bonehead things that affects not only how many reviews/ratings they get but other authors as well. So, before we go off on readers we need to look at ourselves and fix that first. One of the first that drives ratings down is one I’ve discussed on this blog before: review whoring. It’s extortion, blackmail and demanding payment for what you do. Though those that do it may not feel they are hurting others by doing such a thing and since it is their story it’s their right to do so, the realism is, they hurt all authors with that stupidity. It’s hard enough to get people to review as it is, even if you ask nicely, but to have people demand such things makes it worse. Though it’s not fair or right, many readers rebel against such stupidity by not reviewing anything. Readers don’t like to be told they have to do something. Like most people in ‘real life’, when you say they have to do something they will break their neck to do the opposite. In this case, it’s others that write that suffer, not just the review whore. The next thing that is a problem is snarky authors that take offense to any kind of criticism. As an author, I can assure you we ALL make mistakes from time to time, all of us. Be it spelling or something else, we screw something up once in a while. That’s to be expected, we’re human. Most times, we don’t even notice it until someone points it out to us. Reviews allow someone to point it out to us and, if it’s done in a non-flaming sort of way, we don’t take it wrong. But there are authors out there that can’t handle that. They seem to think that reviews are meant only to praise what they’ve done and stroke their ego. If they get something else then they will go off on whoever left the review. Not only is that childish, it’s detrimental to them getting reviews and hurts other authors. This has been done enough that some readers are out and out scared to leave anything but the most generic of reviews for fear of someone flaming them or getting snotty about it. That isn’t right. If you’re an author that sticks your work out there for anyone to look at, the truth is you’re going to get reviews that point out your mistakes, not just ones that feed your ego. Nor are these meant to be personal attacks. You should take them in the spirit they are written, to help you improve your work, not to pick on you. Sadly, though there are a bunch of immature beings that do this kind of thing on all sites. Not only do their damage their own chances but hurt others as well. Nor does it help others that, in places this is allowed, they remove reviews that say these kinds of things. If someone left you something that is legitimate and well thought out, why are you going to remove it? It has it’s place there and isn’t hurting anything. It just proves your human is all. What’s the point of having people review you if you remove them? If you do such things, chances are many aren’t going to bother doing so in the future. Just because you felt that it showed you made a mistake doesn’t mean that you should remove it. Doing such things discourages readers because they feel that there is no point to reviewing only to have it removed. Along with this, and the same people seem to do it, is the fact that people who actually try to help with the problem and propose a solution for you don’t need to get attitude from the author either. An example of this is one I’ve seen many times. More times than I care to count I’ve seen stories rife with spelling and punctuation errors with an authors notes saying excuse such things because they don’t have Microsoft Word to use to help fix things. Without going into the voracity of that statement, I’ve seen plenty of people that leave reviews pointing out solutions to such a thing. Most beings would welcome the help and say thanks. But others just get snotty about the whole thing then proceed to snarl at the reviewers. Again, that helps no one. If you are saying there is an issue then people try to help you, snarling at them just alienates readers, nothing more. Most will then stop reviewing you and, more than likely, stop reading your stuff as well. That does nothing but shoot yourself in the foot and defeat the purpose. If someone proposes a solution to an issue you have, don’t snarl at them for it. Though you may not take their advice and don’t have to, don’t get nasty. Flame bating and attacking reviewers in authors notes is another problem that crops up quite a bit and does a great deal of damage. For those that don’t know what flame baiting is the most basic definition of it is this: that is intended to elicit the extremely strong responses characteristic of flaming and active public discussions. To be effective, flame bait should be a bit subtle (but not too subtle) so that potential flamers will "take the bait." This term is similar to troll, which is an effort to get a reaction from readers but not necessarily for the purpose of eliciting flames. In the context of stories, usually this is done in authors notes where they take after the reviewer that left them something they didn’t like. It tends to be done in such a way that it makes them look like the wronged party then other reviewers will take after the big, bad meany that would pick on the author, whether or not it’s overly proposed by the author. Honestly, reviews and what they say aren’t meant to start a pissing war over anything. If it’s a flame, you ignore it. If it’s not, take it in the spirit it’s intended then drop it. Eliciting readers to attack other reviewers or authors does nothing but hurt you and other authors. Usually, 99% of the time, it’s against site rules as well. No one wants to get attacked or flamed because of a review that was left, especially one where they weren’t doing it to start anything anyway. When people see authors doing such things, they are scared to leave reviews for anything for fear of being attacked. That hurts all authors’ chances of getting reviews. One of the more snarky things that is done by authors that not only makes them look bad but hurts review counts is when authors leave reviews for other authors that are nothing more than an attempt to go off on them for something they said in a review. Sorry folks, that is not right! Reviews for stories are meant for the story itself, not for others to use it as a way to communicate. That is what P.M.s or e-mail is for. If that option isn’t there then you need to find another way to communicate with them, not use the review system. To take your ‘war’ with an author to their reviews of a story is ignorant to the extreme and nothing but childish behavior. No one wants to get into the middle of a pissing contest between authors. They will not only not review either, since most aren’t going to even be bothered to go figure out the reason for the whole thing to start with, they will ignore both stories. If you don’t like a review another author left or feel it’s flaming, out of line, whatever, contact the site administrators, don’t get into a pissing contest. That hurts everyone all around. Then there is the old standard that little kids use: the reviews hurt my feelings so I’m removing the stories and won’t post anymore. Oh pul-EASE! This is something a two year old does and as adults, we don’t let them get away with it and teach them that it’s not the right thing to do. Nothing says more about you as an author than childish behavior such as that. It’s people like this that do more damage than they will ever know. With fan fiction, the reality is that most multi-chapter stories never get finished, though it’s a sad fact it’s the truth. So, when people pull this stupid shyte what they do is make reviewers worry that if they leave a review that is anything less than the highest praise known to mankind the author might get their nose out of joint and pull their stuff. Too many have done this childish idiocy that it hurts review counts for all authors. After all, no one wants to be responsible for someone’s hurt feelings and a good story vanishing. Unlike with children, this behavior generally works because authors that do that kind of thing leave their stuff up long enough for them to get tons of reviews begging them to stay, the real intent in my opinion. Plus this one tends to go into the area of flame baiting so you get a double whammy there, nothing good. Last, but not least, bitching about the lack of reviews in an authors note in a story doesn’t help matters either. This I’ve seen a lot of unfortunately. Honestly, all it does is alienate reviewers and makes the author sound like a whiny little brat that in ungrateful for what they have. That doesn’t help at all. Reviews, or lack there of, doesn’t mean the story is bad or that there is something wrong with it, it just means that some people have nothing to say is all. A lot are of the opinion that they don’t like to leave the generic ‘I really like this, please write more’ kind of review and reserve a thought out one for something that strikes their fancy is all. So, when you take that into a account then it’s not a big deal. Though there are more of these, more than I could ever list here, these seem to be the biggest and most egregious ones that are out there also are the ones that are perpetrated the most. Honestly, they are also uncalled for. But, unfortunately, there are many that seem to be willing to do such things. It’s also the ones who do this that tend to be the ones that bitch the most about lack of reviews. Go figure… But if people would put a stop to this and just ignore the twits who do such things then things would go easier and review counts would go up. We have to keep in mind that though most of us write for ourselves, alienating readers, and most authors are also readers folks, is just going to read to lower hit counts and lack of reviews. Insulting the readers and going after them is just like biting the hand that feeds you. Think about it…
  14. First thing everyone needs to take into account is that less than 1% of those that read a story are going to review or rank it. That's the way it is on ALL sites, fan fiction and 'regular' sites. Second, authors will complain about this until the end of time but nothing is going to change the fact and fact #1 isn't going to change. Third, though most readers can't be 'bothered' to rate or review, the sad fact is there are plenty of things that authors have done to cause this. Review whoring (demanding reviews for chapters), going off on readers, removing legit reviews because they contain some concrit they don't like, flame baiting reviewers that said something the author doesn't like, authors using reviews for other stories to go off on authors, etc, are all things that have led to this and hurt most authors chances at getting good, decent reviews. But, even taking this all into account, the truth of the matter is if you write for yourself and do it because you love it, reviews or lack there of really don't mean anything. They are just kinda' candy for the soul.
  15. we need a bit more information before we can do anything like the story name and the archive it was in additional- found it and checked it should be showing now Next time, such things are best handled by e-mailing us that way we can quickly and quietly take care of it
  16. here are a few on AFF Butterfly it's a WIP http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600021945 very different and odd Unexpected Things also a WIP http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600022795 Winter and Ice-complete http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600011099
  17. Danyealle was the name of my RPG character for years, a shapeshifter. When I needed a pen name I adopted it, Danyealle Autumn Myst, as my pen name. I was known as just Danyealle for years when i did original fiction and took that as my pen name when I started writing Inuyasha fan fiction rather than adopt a Japanese-style name like most do. Though now I'm known as Danyealle-sama since someone tagged me with the sama bit after a GutterMarbles challenge (lemon writing) and how many people came to me for advice when writing their first one for it. After that, i was tagged with the sama-suffix by a friend because of how i do lemons and the descriptive nature of them. It stuck since then.
  18. story belongs in Sesshoumaru/Kagome
  19. I have gmail and never have a problem, everything gets through for me. So you might want to go into your settings and check things.
  20. Sorry about that, came from the Insp. Morse name change from Britain to the US
  21. I think this is most of us honestly. I don't remember who said it but someone said, "the hardest part of writing any story is the first sentence" and that's the truth. Just keep in mind that writing the 1st chapter is a jump off point where you start the journey it doesn't always have to gangbusters but a slow wave crashing onto the rocks gently.
  22. You need help, yell. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand Danyealle
  23. She has removed the lyrics from the song from the chapter so that's good. But not after insulting the people that pointed out the issue of course. Apparently, she doesn't get the gist of the term plagiarism and how it applied. Oh well. At leas they are gone.
