That is on purpose, to reward authors and encourage them to go back and update older stories to use new site features.

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

And it makes it easier for users to quickly recognise and avoid whatever horrific crime against fiction I’ve committed! Everyone’s a winner :)

Good explanation! Just to add my tip: If users don’t want to link offsite they can load their 250x250 (or smaller) userpic direct as a forum userpic first, and then use the forum userpic link for the archive profile. It’s worked for me for years! It does mean the forum and archive userpic are the same, but I don’t mind using the same on both.

All you need is a link to an image that you like. Go to a site that has an image you like, then right click that image; In the options you should see "Copy Image Link", click that. Now just paste that link into the box, and that should show the image that you want, after you click “save” at the bottom. This is mine for example. -- Remember it has to be small enough to fit the 250 pixel limit, I recommend using preview images or thumbnails, these will usually fit. -- Also be aware, the site doesn't allow a picture of a real person, so no personal photos.

Debating on whether I should point out the difference in meaning & spelling of “incest” vs “insect”… two different genres IMO (though I suppose an adventurous author could meld them together). Perhaps they’re after Shelob and offspring?

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.

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.

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.

It works! I just uploaded my story, and now the Murphy and Mitzi category is visible in the archive. Thank you!

Thank you! I was worried that I had screwed it up, but that makes sense!

It’s in the dropdown for you to publish. If memory serves, the category won’t display until there’s actually a story in it

I can see it in the admin view, but not in the user view, so I have no idea if I actually created it or not. Maybe @DemonGoddess or @manta2g will be able to tell if I did it right. (I swear, I’m flying this thing by the seat of my pants sometimes...) EDIT: I can see it in the dropdown if I say I’m going to create a new story. It’s just not visible in the menu, and I have no idea why that is.

Thank you for your detective skills! Let’s see if it’s the new account that wants to be deleted or if someone is playing with us.

TBH, having the pictures match is likely a good thing for users recognizing the author of their favorite (or least favorite) stories, when browsing the forums.

The coder tested on Firefox. Did you clear the cache and cookies for ALL TIME, restart your browser, and then go to https://www.adult-fanfiction.org?

I’ve activated the account for you. Give it a try with the instructions posted above, and it should work.

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.

...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?

Looking through the a-z menus I am not seeing any stories showing a count of less than 1 [ie none showing (0) ]- maybe under the new software there needs to be at least one story in a sub catagory to show on the menus, but they’re there for adding a story in the drop downs? Edit: Which actually feels like a good thing in some ways, as on the old site I’d sometimes see a game and click on it, only to find any story had been deleted!

Sorry about taking a solid five days to reply to this! It’s been a little rough at work, and I’m preparing for a friend’s wedding, which will be happening in April, just a week after my birthday. I’ve never been invited to a wedding like this before, especially as part of the wedding party itself, so I’m pretty excited. 😊 😄 I’m probably going to be alternating between stories over the next little while, writing a bit of Legends (the bounty hunter story), The Lake House, or this third thing, depending on what I’m not getting writer’s block on at any given time. The hint I will give is that what I was working on is the first chapter of a story I’ve wanted to start for literally years now. 🤔 Actually since you mentioned it, I might as well throw The Spider House into that rotation as well, since at least doing the first scene would be really cool, and that’s also one I’ve wanted to write for years now. Anyway, on to the rest of your reply! God, it’s a great bit, and the image is pretty much just like that. I’m glad you didn’t feel forced into writing this. I wanted to make sure that you weren’t writing stuff you didn’t love because you were trying to please me, but specifically about Sarsa healing Dylan’s hands, I definitely understand what it’s like to write yourself into a corner and then have to improvise a solution! I hadn’t thought of the “walking biohazard” angle, but it does make sense. I did like the idea presented in the text itself, that Sarsa knew that if she didn’t pick something, Kizzy was going to get very nerdy with whatever she chose for the binding mark, either the Starfleet logo or some inscription in Klingon or who knows what else. 😄 They do. I blame the animated series The Mighty Nein and Marion Lavorre for my personal reaction, though admittedly she’s a tiefling (so...I don’t know, like 1/16 demon or something), but definitely the example that came to mind first. Sarsa has her own variation on the look here, of course, with the hooves and the black hair, but as you say it is a perennial favorite of people! It is a good line! I hadn’t actually thought of the “sexiness backwash” as you put it still being in effect, but that’s a good point, and as you said, a lot of Dylan’s emotional reaction could also be the normal powerful emotions that come with sex. It could lead to a long-term romance, but the story isn’t spelling that out precisely here. You did a good job explaining it in the story itself, for sure. I had wondered about the shapeshifting, actually, specifically whether it was just a succubus thing or Sarsa could do it too. It does make sense, though, since just hiding wings and other features to blend with humans would necessitate some level of appearance modification ability. 😁 Kizzy’s seriousness works so well for that sort of deadpan comedy. Again, welcome back, and I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long before I have something to share, whatever that may turn out to be!

I figured it out, I had a mix of problems. DuckDuckGo, the search engine in the URL bar of all my browsers except Brave, kept taking me to this URL: "https://adult-fanfiction.org/" -- All the FireFox browsers display "trimmed URLs", that look like this: "adult-fanfiction.org" My problem was I couldn't see that I didn't have the proper link. I'm disabling the "trimmed URL" feature in each of my browsers for the future. I think the age verification should have a link like, "Having trouble? Click here and try again.", to ensure that all visitors will be in the right place, even if they can't tell. -- Thank you DemonGoddess, your help was appreciated.

That user id 1296941646 was requested to be deleted in 2023 earlier in the thread, and deleted – Edit – possilbly a coincidence, but there was a new profile in the name Rivera created today!

I checked again with FireFox, TorBrowser, DuckDuckGo, LibreWolf; this time with all their cookie restrictions turned off completely, I still get the same result. If you go directly to the Archive, you won't get past the age verification. If you go to the Forum, don't click anything, then go directly to the Archive, you won't get past the age verification. If you go to the Forum, use a link to "https://adult-fanfiction.org/", from within the forum, then the age verification works. I've tried this on Android 13, Windows 10, Zorin 18 and Debian 13; A phone, two PCs and a laptop. I think there may be something wrong with the Age Verification prompt, at least in regards to browsers based on FireFox, because no other site acts that way for any of my other devices or browsers. At the very least, maybe there should be a warning on the age verification that it may not work with browsers based on FireFox. -- Am I the only FireFox user here?

It sounds like in your Chromium based browser, you allowed the new cookie to be set. Whereas in Firefox you have not.

You are very welcome!

Had a user report to me that the disclaimer field was truncation when he added it. This is not happening for everyone. Manta has a fix she’ll do for this, but not right this second. In the meantime, if a user encounters this, what you do is copy your disclaimer and paste it into the field as PLAIN TEXT.

Fix to be applied to applied at a future time.

Hi ABigFan, I was having the same issue but entering from the main page solved it. Thanks DemonGoddess!

I liked to write the initial twist with her straight with voyeuer-kink, but then showing how the magic of the dildo starts to influence her to get involved with a helping hand. I think it is obvious they will end up as a married couple with a lot less money as they keep visiting two nymphomaniacs with a magic dildo that charges money for them to act out their more and more perverted fantasies. I totally agree. From Carol’s perspective, she goes abroad, leaves it to her husband to keep track of the kids, and doesn’t hear anything worrying. They might basically be grown-ups, but she expects things to stay basically the same since everything sounds fine. At home, she realised that her daughter had gotten a flat without any income to pay the rent and that her son was behaving like a total stranger. From a writing perspective, Ronja has always thought of her stepmother as having a keen eye, so when she finally makes an appearance, she must realize something is amiss after all the foreshadowing. I am sure the ghost would not mind fooling around, but since she is John’s natural mother, there would not be anything stepmilfy about it. Considering all that is contained in the story, also having incest without a step-relation is maybe not such a big deal, but you have to draw the line somewhere. 🙂 The fun bit here is that Ronja thinks Maria enforces the house rules because she wants it that way, while Maria, in truth, is pressured by the ghost to do it. Pretty neat, I would say. Thank you. Yes, the first time with Maria. I wanted to include some bestiality as the climax of the story approaches, and this seemed like a good variation. All was, of course, on direct instruction from John, who wanted to sell more clips. Good question. It is not obvious from the text, but there is a sandy beach named Smeduddsbadet not far from this location (a couple of hundred meters). People often sunbathe or eat on the cliffs, but the beach is the more popular place to take a swim. I meant this fellow to be on the way there, but never got around writing it down. Reverse from the previous chapter, with the first scene as the best. 🙂

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.

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.

Have you followed the steps outlined in the most recent news article? You can read it here: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77064-upgrade-complete/ Your old password should still work, and you should be able to log in if you follow the steps outlined. If you normally browse in incognito mode, you will need to turn that off just when logging in for the first time, so you can set the site cookies. After you log in successfully, you can resume browsing incognito with no problems.

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.

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