Doing some small tweaks. Member profile tabs are now all URL sticky. Are there any other areas that should be URL sticky?

In my 2013 Phineas and Ferb fanfic “Candace’s Perfect Body,” there’s a scene wherein Dr. Doofenshmirtz captures Perry the Platypus by trapping him inside a wool sweater and then using a huge blow dryer on it to make the sweater shrink around him. Tonight, I watched an episode of the recently revived Phineas and Ferb in which Doofenshmirtz traps Perry exactly that way. I’d love to think that the writers got the idea from me, but honestly, they’ve used so many different Perry-traps over the years that this coincidence seems like a statistical inevitability.

Not sure who this mystery writer is, but something tells me they enjoyed getting the chance to write that story. Call it a hunch. 😉

...eh, haven’t had a whole lot of ‘em. One of mine was so unhappy it inspired another writer to write both a oneshot really exploring the misery and a multiparter to give the plucky heroine a more upbeat fate. How’s about you. Favor the happily ever after?

When I say, “The world would work better if women were in charge,” I mean just about anyone but me. Why? First fact: It’s “my job” to make sure that all the lights are off and doors are locked when we go to bed because my husband will zombie walk right past a door that is standing open. Second fact: we go to bed when the sun is still up and wake up after dark so customers of my husband’s store can panic-buy their milk, eggs, and bread at the crack of dawn. This means when I check the back door, I get blinded by sunlight through the kitchen window if I’m up too late. Well, a few minutes ago, I flipped the switch on my way out of the room, but the light only got brighter. I spent probably about a minute and a half squinting at the glowing boob-light, wondering what sort of black magic electrical fuckery I was in for now, and contemplating what a sledgehammer would do to the fugly glass shade. Then…it hit me, just like a sledgehammer. Y’all. I just tried to turn off the sun. With a light switch. And got pissy when flipping the switch just made the room brighter. So, yeah. Just about any woman except me. I would do my level best only to get knocked down by a barrage of blonde moments. I’d attempt to bring about real, needed legal, societal, and economic change. Instead, I’d get hung up on ridiculous things like declaring boob-lights and whining electric cords illegal and enacting laws decreeing that pets are taxable dependents and people can be considered pets if they’re not fully housebroken. The world would burn.

So, getting some running around done, so I don’t have to deal with the chickens and the snow…. Ye gods...you’d think they never saw the stuff before. 🤣

There isn’t unfortunately, I can see general site wide traffic as well as new registrations. As far as google is concerned, the age verify pretty much stops it in its tracks. The improved archive search is much more reliable as people can search/filter by content tags on their own meaning more people actually find the content they are looking for.

Checking in on all the rest of y’all in the range of Snowmageddon 2026. (Basically, the southern half of the US, northeast downward, half the Midwest, etc.) Everyone doing okay out there? It’s freezing here in southwest Missouri with snow on the ground, but our neighborhood hasn’t lost power...yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be round two of this nonsense. Cold’s vehicle doesn’t handle cold well, so he’s bundling up like he’s bound for the arctic and walking to work. Heiferlump, meanwhile, is determined to crawl inside my skin to sap all the warmth from my corpse, and let me tell you, that cat has cold toes. Those toes are also equipped with unfailing nipple-seeking stomping hardware, and I have the bruises to prove it. Naturally, I’ve held her up to the window circle-of-life style a few times so she can cuss out starlings on the feeder. Everybody, stay warm out there!

Totally sellable, comes with a lifetime supply of heating!

Easy to do, and hopefully was an easy fix! Unlike that time I added an extra space to some code and, long story short, there’s a piece of land nobody can walk on for millions of years until the background radiation drops.

Numbers…. for several mine (I generally record in the mornings): Dale’s Game – Jan 1st @ 3704. 20th @ 3711. 28th @ 3791 Repair Guy – Jan 1st @ 5087. 20th @ 5099. 28th @ 5238. Jefferey – Jan 1st @ 19218. 20th @ 19261. 28th @ 19514. Thus, many dozens/hundreds. So if it’s genuine on the increase, that’s good. If it was, for whatever reason, being under-counted before, and that’s fixed, that’s good. My worry was it being bogus due to a glitch as I know how code can go.

I’m curious what you mean by general increase. Hundreds of new views? Thousands? How much is lots of new registrations? If you can’t say, that’s fine but you’ve got me curious.

I think I have old fashioned review reply links at the bottom of all mine anyway, so I’ll leave mine down the depths of the site where they belong! I can start updating it for any new stories though

Twas wondering, of course. Rational me likes to know explanations; maybe the way the hits are recorded has changed too? (ie story views vs chapter views)? I mean, yes, while an increased count is *nice*; I know that with numbers, it’s good to have reason behind it.

Oddly enough, a general increase in traffic and new members. Also with the improved archive search, more people getting to what they are looking for faster and easier.

And this is why I don’t code, no matter how much AI is trying to convince me that it’s a good idea.

Depends on the story. My very first two long form fics didn’t have happily ever after, but they were somewhat happy.

170k words is the current estimate for the whole story. That is a good idea. Pretty many spin offs possible if I get eager to return to the characters. I totally agree. My favorites were Grand Central Station and walking the streets around Central Park. I walked the streets because I visited a house there. I could draw on that experience when I later wrote one of the scenes for my G,S,P story. The story never explains why he was at Beckomberga. I have a vague idea that this story should be linked to my story, "Can the Mirror see the Moment?" but I don’t know whether I will write the spinoff or focus on other things. Considering how quickly the ghost adapts to technology, it would make sense that he is from the 1970-1990 time period. The hospital closed in 1995, but the famous lobotomizations happened much earlier. A possibility for why he was locked up was that he lost control over the dildo magic and couldn’t really control himself...but that would imply he was from a much earlier time period. I don’t think people from 1970 would lock somebody up for nymphomanic behavior. I saw you have already reviewed the next chapter, but the comment on that will have to wait until later, as the bed calls me.

As I track my hits on a daily basis (or more), I’ve noticed a sharp increase in the counts post upgrade. (Going from maybe 1-2 per day to dozens on some stories.) Software bug? Bots now cruising the pages?

Re: “Traffic Stop” No, I just added a link so that clicking the “Review Replies” button opens this thread, and that moved the story to the top of the list.

This morning, I added Review Replies links to several of my stories, and tonight I noticed that making that one little change pushed those stories to the top of their respective categories.

That could be part of it. The improvement in people’s ability to find what they’re looking for might have been to the benefit of a potential Google search. They like more organized content for people and for their options. But it’s definitely in part people just using the site. Also could just be people excited about the new version of the site, playing around with it.

Hmm, could just be that it’s being seen better by Google? Is there a place to see how much traffic has increased for your story? I did notice that one of my story seems to have a large number of readers but I can’t remember what it used to be. It was a pretty popular story.

There are many having issues at the moment. We are aware, and there are things that a user has to do in order for everything to work correctly. First thing, before you proceed. DO NOT use anonymous browsing for this part. You can go back to it afterwards. Be sure to do this from the main page: https://www.adult-fanfiction.org No matter WHICH browser, you must clear cache and cookies for ALL TIME. After doing the clear, close and restart your browser. Finally, you need to force refresh. (Press Ctrl+F5) That should fix the issues. You should be able to proceed once you do that. If you’re getting an error about activation, go to the register link and select the drop down option of “resend activation”. Remember, major software changes generally do require this sort of action.

If you are experiencing bugs, please post them to the bug tracker. What we will need from you are specific steps you took to get the error, and screen shots if you are able. This will help in getting everything fixed, if there are bugs. DG

In helping people sort this out, something I found was that users with iPhones and such, had to clear browser cache in ALL their devices, as they are linked. Asked the user what he did differently to be successful, and it was that.

Thank you. Considering how much trouble they have gotten into so far because of not communicating, I thought it was important to show they are learning from their previous mistakes. The intention when I wrote it was that bullies always act out when they are in a group and say things they would never dare to say alone with their victim. The idea that some fool might run into trouble by trying to exploit Maria never crossed my mind. Imagine what kind of hurt that person would suffer if Maria had the chance to let some steam out…no I should not listen. If I started going down that path, I would soon have another 10 chapters to write. 🙂 Thank you. As a fellow author, I think you can imagine how many times I revised that section before I was satisfied. Inner thought processes are damn hard to write. *smiles* I recognize the feeling. When I visited New York, it was a marvel at the walking streets I had seen in so many movies. I agree, there is quite a history there. Count Carl Piper began construction in 1695, but he was taken prisoner by the Russians during one of the wars before it was finished. His wife finished the work by recruiting Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, one of the most famous architects in Swedish history, who did much work for the king. The city of Stockholm has been responsible for taking care of the garden since 1945. I think it is safe to assume John has some collections of pictures and clips that gave the ghost so many ideas. As for the punishment, the magic is messing with and making them do stuff no normal person should be doing. Good, we can enjoy it as a story, not as a movie clip of an actress suffering the same. 🙂 Nice if the last scene is the best.

My fault. When creating that menu, I added an extra space. It’s fixed now.

Well I’m all for more Buffy related stories here. Eventually I’ll get back to it.

Could use an actual Fight Club quote! “do I give you the ass or the crotch?" heh. Ignore me. Good luck with it though, sounds like there’s potential! I’ve done a rough chapter 4 on mine and into an even rougher chapter 5. These things end up longer than expected sometimes!

Well mine is more in a fight club style, as in the episode of Angel where he was captured by people running a fight club… but with a sexual twist to it.

I don’t think I read that one, but a quick google suggests it was a Girls Behind Bars type story? There’s always a lot of room for new stories in that environment. I’d probably mess it up and instead end up with it all far too cheerful and non sexual. The Buffy version of 1970s British Sitcom Porridge. Naffy the Vampire Slayer. I’ll see myself out

I have an idea that I’ve been playing with. One is a Buffy crossover and the other is sorta similar to the Gehanna story that’s already up on the site. Seems like there was collaboration on that story. But mine has a slightly different twist.

So… happy endings?

...well, damn, that does make much more sense. In my defence poetry critical thinking is waaaaaaay down my ability scale. Also normal critical thinking. Some might even say just thinking. Makes sense. You just don’t tend to think hiring one would be a good idea until you’re turning the Earth for potatoes and whoops there’s a plague ridden femur. I liked it, but I also have a soft spot for the original Scary Movie too No worries!

Ah shucks, that kinda thing might chip away at my deep seated self loathing!

@InBrightestDay FYI, I just reviewed “Meaningful Gifts.”
