A nice quiet birthday was today

The people who leave negative reviews on e-books reporting sex scenes are my heroes. It’s easy enough to filter in smut when you’re reading fanfiction, but the e-book writers get coy about it in their descriptions. If not for sex-averse reviewers, we’d risk reading a “spicy book” that never passes first base, get clam-shelled over the lack of smut, and have to go start a fight with our husbands or something. ...not that I’m speaking from experience, or anything. But yeah. Someone left a squicked one-star review on a book I was considering. Granted, the review was just the word “sex” written three times – like they’re starring in a demonic possession porno or something - and shoop, there the book went. Right into my cart. I hope it’s filthy. People like that are heroes.

I worry I can’t contain myself to a short story though. Although that might be an interesting challenge. To see if I can do something that quickly. I once wrote a 30 page story (which is currently on AFF) in 48 hours. I’m all about the stamina.

I look forward to your entry should you choose to do so

There are now precisely three weeks until Halloween. I wonder...can I write The Lake House in that time? No promises, but I’ll see how far I can get! And of course, even if I don’t finish, I’ll review your works. 🙂

You could always do a flashfic. I’m sometimes amazed by the stories some people can tell in 500 words or less.

Posted! “You Were Warned” (poem)

Of Course! https://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600110585

My poem is ready. Can you provide a link to the story in the archive?

I think you mean this thread: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/73048-does-aff-have-a-policy-on-ai-generated-fanfic/#comment-445291 So far, we haven’t developed a formal policy. As we’ve been talking about over in the status updates, Chat GPT so far has filters in place to prevent it from generating adult content, which is our milieu. That’s not to say that “clever” folks haven’t managed to jailbreak it, and there’s talk about creating a system to allow verified adults to write adult content. So, it is on the radar but not yet an issue thus far. Will it become an issue? My good gold is on yes, because Rule 34 exists.

This just in: some school districts in the US are banning books about cats. Apparently, somebody needs to have a chat with the administration and tell them those books “aren’t about that kind of pussy.”

A principle that I usually follow in most things. Or at least I think I do anyway.

Sounds good! People underestimate the K.I.S.S Principle. Keep it simple silly.

Perhaps, although my initial feeling is that it’s not Halloween enough. My basic outline has a woman getting out of a sudden rain storm and happening upon a lone cabin with a guy inside. They ride out the storm together, both literally and figuratively. Many dark twists could be done from this.

You can always post it regardless. Yours is always worth the wait.

Sounds like you got an idea already

I suppose. There is an idea which came to me recently for a fanfic. It’s not directly Halloween related but certainly could be. There’s a fantasy fulfillment aspect to the story which could involve wearing outfits. Not sure if I could finish in 500 words though.

Re: “You Were Warned” From InvidiaRed on October 07, 2025 @InvidiaRed Thank you! My favorite horror movie is the original Scream, which deals with a lot of horror-movie tropes, so I thought a poem like that would be fun.

muses are unpredictable.

Vamp fics can be such fun!

Well, it seems I forgot one important thing about NaNoWriMo: It no longer exists. Or at least, the site that was its headquarters no longer exists. I might still do it--or do a “lite” version of it--on my own, but I’ll miss the encouraging emails and live write-ins.

Sadly, I don’t think in poem style generally. Sounds like it would be fun. I have a couple stories that could theoretically be Halloween themed (dark vampire stuff), but not in poetic form. Also not original fiction.

Oof – poor Neville. Umbridge and one of the centaurs I could get behind. Very much NC, of course.

Posted! I’ll probably do Winter Holiday as Well if nobody else wishes to.

The Monster Under The Bed x My Sleep Paralysis Demon (Those fucking squelching noises, I swear, it’s grim folks, grim).

Yikes.

I think the most messed up one I found was Umbridge X Neville.

We permit content with fictional characters who are 15, and as @Desiderius Price notes, the appropriate tag is Minor2 for characters aged 14 to 18, and Minor1 for characters under 14. The only area where characters under the age of 18 are not permitted is Celebrity Fiction/Real Person fiction. Legally, we can’t allow that sort of story. However, original work with fictional characters under the age of 18 is allowed, as long as the story is properly tagged.

Tag for teenagers is minor2 (14 and older). Tag for younger is minor1.

My take is that brilliant non-linear stories you here talk about get their fame from being good despite not being linear. A possible comparison is the Westworld tv-show season 1 that had a big reveal when you realized what you had been watching. In season 2 they wanted to repeat the trick and made things just as non-linear and in the end it was barely watchable. I have avoided the later seasons like plague. My point is that for every successful non-linear storytelling there are many more trainwreck attempts. Doing non-linear storytelling that manage to capture the reader is seriously difficult.

Simple, have a quick conversation chapter one of the sequel. “Where’s Joe?” “Six years in prison, because when they say NO PARKING, the really mean NO PARKING.” or “Got transferred to far, far, away.” or “He learned why there’s safety bars on woodchippers. Coroner estimated they recovered 60% of the remains.” And if you want the villain to be a surprise, have his whereabouts accounted/dismissed for in this conversation too.
