Wow! That's really awsome! I'm so jealous! ^_^0 I've been trying to lose weight for a while--I go to the gym, but alas it doesn't help much. I'm glad you're doing so great! Any chance you can slip your little secret on how to lose weight? I wanted to lose at least 30 lbs before I went to AX but that's not happening now>.<
Sorry about not seeing this post, Squall. But send me an e-mail at spencer_creek_studios@yahoo.com and I'll send you my diet forms.
They are easy to work with and yet after a while you are so used to the diet you will not need to be reminded what you can and cannot eat. And if you need a recipe to do, I have one that is really easy to make and is very delious too.

Usually people type in capital letters the word COMPLETE at the front of the summary, so people know that this story is completed by the author.

I love those build-ups! They really suck you in and get a hold of you then leave you hanging right until the last minute... and nothing happens! It's incredibly frustrating but very, very effective.
I love that! That leaves stuff for the fanfiction writer in us all to flesh out that scene!
I actually have that happen in my original story that I am writing for publication: The Vampire Hunter.

In this story, I have a character that I threw in jail for not talking about how he knew about something.
The thing is I want to drag this scene out for a few days.
How can I do that without making it seem like I am?
Do I make the character refuse to say anything or just try to confuse them by talking about something else?

They can also help the main canon characters grow into themselves too and also as leaders.
That is one of the reasons why I write OC in my stories.

The only reason why I would delete a review is if they just spammed my review board with junk which is rare.

I'm writing a murder mystery where the 'victim' is a horse who has two oval shape burn on his rump. But I do not know what would cause such a burn. I'm thinking it could be a cigarette burn but I want the mystery around what burned him to be something more then just a cigarette burn as one of the subjects that the investigator asked said that he used a stun gun on the horse, but those burns leave fang marks behind.
I want something that the forensic investigator to state something else then a cigarette burn which it is and they do a test to find out what the burn is.
I want the burn mark to be something that would be in a racing stable and the only thing that I can think of is cigarettes.
Thanks for the help.

The reason behind her hatred of all humans is from what happened to her in the workplace of her fellow workers calling her names and basically being bullies towards her because they hated what she had become. She says she hates humans even if she is one herself but as she gets to know the human friends of the Autobots, she starts to realize that there are those who don't see her as strange or hate her for what she looks like, she starts to drop most of her hatred against the human race. But it doesn't happen within minutes of her meeting them, it actaully takes many stories being written before she drops her hate to just a mild annoyance.

I think the author should write as many sex scenes as he or she desires in the story that they write.

I would just use the next chapter to post an author's note to all my reviewers of the previous chapter.
But if it is only one chapter, I would create another chapter for answering the reviewers.

I had one story where there was no sex at all in the story.
Only one person complained about the lack of sex in the story.
But my other stories had sex within two to eight chapters of the story, no one really complained about the lack of sex in the stories. I guess they were smart by reading the codes that I had put up on the summary.
Some readers will just read the summary and not even look over the codes themselves to see if the story would be something that they were going to be interested in. But they seem to bypass the codes themselves.

Shinigami trouble is updated with Chapter sixteen.

Monsterking, I have yet to write any story with this character in it yet, where you really see her interact with more then just one human. I'm working on that plot right now.

I don't plan on posting the story in full on the internet as I do intend on publishing it one day. I may go for the self publishng route for this and a few other of my stories. I have had not very good luck with agents.
But the main track Santa Anita is shown somewhat in a bad light as the track where this 'murder' happened at and since I don't really want to have trouble with them nor with the Triple Crown folks, I changed the name of the track to Santa Tanita and the name of the Triple Crown to Triple Gold Crown.

I update whenever I am usually done with my chapter.
Most of the time it is in the evening of any night.
I don't really notice the hits very much, they probably do go up depending on when the readers are reading the stories.

I will tell you this as someone who is writing an original whodunnit and I am going to publish it one day, it is hard to remember who is your killer by the end of the book or story.
I find that writing down the plot and who you want to be the killer is on a peice of paper and keep it near you when you are working on the story itself is useful, as it will remind you who the killer is.
And one of the things you need to know is the fandom you are writing about. Don't try a fandom or writing something that you are not fully informed about. That just wastes your time and that of the reader if you get it wrong.

I have updated both the Shinigami trouble and The Captains' meeting.
The Captains' meeting is now completed and Shinigami trouble is on Chapter Fifteen.
Enjoy.

I usually get a great idea for what a character is going to do further in the story and I forget to write it down and when I get to that part, I forgot what the great idea was and I kick myself because I forgot what it was!

*Clears throat*
Talking about the origins of the creation of this lovely site is what I love to talk about.
Back in September 2002, FF.net decided to kill off any NC-17 stories, remove them entirely from their site and I mean entirely. Ayla Olsen (the founder and first owner of the site) created Adultfanfiction to take the stories that was impending to be lost due of the purge from FF.net with full intent on having a site meant for adults by adults to post their R to NC-17 stories at. First the site was on Geocities, we grew huge there, so it meant a search for a new host and a domain name was bought adult-fanfiction.org, and then we moved to Nexcess, where we have stayed with, with one switch to another host but in the end we returned to Nexcess.
And I am one of the early members to be on Aff and I am a former owner of the site.

of course he has. President Clinton lied about a personal relationship and got a lot of shit for it, but Bush has lied about actual government stuff, so shouldn't he get the same treatment? I don't know about you, but I'm more pissed off about Bush lying about the war and things that he has previously said than Clinton lying about sex.
I have to agee with you there, shinigamiinochi, I would love to have Bush impeached like Clinton was. I'm pissed that Bush didn't even get any shit about his lying of governmental stuff like lying about the real reason why we're in Iraq. And it was all for the oil that Iraq has that is the real reason behind our occupation of the country. Ever since we got into that country, the price of oil has been on the rise. Bush is just filling his pocket with oil money.

I know that I have changed the location of the race track in my original story Murder at the racetrack and changed the names of the races that are very recognizable and a few names of the horses.
But now I am thinking that I should have left it as is but if I get it published like I am wanting to do, the people who own the names may come after me for money using the names like I did.
Did I do the right thing as in changing the names about?
