Shirotaka Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Isn't offsite linking like.. not allowed? -fumbles through online phone book for AFF staff number and dials to alert problem- "Yes hello, we have an offsite link, can you take care of this p--" Sorry, I will take the call outside.

DemonGoddess Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Errrm.... Acal posted that here so that those who need to be made aware of it and handle this, can. And yes, advertising in the archive is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotaka Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I only posted what I did in an attempt to bring it to the attention of Admins, I did not mean any disrespect. I just know how easily posts a few days old can get overlooked (I tend to do so without even meaning to all the time in the Forum Games) and saw there was no response to Acal on the thread. I would have PMed an admin but the laptop has been having a conniption fit and going haywire when I try. My apologies, was only trying to help. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveKnight75 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I, for one, accept that apology because the action had a good intention. To answer your question - off-site linking is only allowed under special circumstances. For example, if you're writing a sequel to a non-adult fic, you can link the fic in question via an AN at the beginning. This is also allowed if you're writing a companion piece to someone else's fic. It's only fair to give that person credit. If you have a specific image that is related to the fic, you can provide the link in an AN. These circumstances are special because you're not attempting to advertise a rival or take traffic away from AFF. You're providing links to material that relates to the fic you've posted on AFF so that the readers can have a fuller experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirotaka Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well Eve, safe to say that response was way more than I expected to see. Good information, I will keep it in mind. Thank you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
