😆 “Gawd as my witness, that man is broken in half.” Well, next fic won’t be smut (The Lake House is non-erotic), but hopefully it’ll still be a good read!

Now I hear a pro-wrestling announcer, “Bah gawd! It can’t be! InBrighestDay has returned to AFF, swinging that sex fic like a mad man!”

As a follow-up, specifically to the @JayDee point I missed in my previous post, I too miss the days when there were tons of entries to these holiday anthologies, but maybe it’s cyclical. The other writers are still around, and if I can throw a story into the anthology after being absent from the holiday lineup for years, then you never know when someone else will reappear! 🙂

Well, it’s almost a week after the new year...but you know what? I’m posting it anyway! @JayDee, @Thundercloud, @InvidiaRed and all the others who were interested but who I can’t remember right now, Meaningful Gifts has been added to the Winter Holiday 2025 anthology! I thought this was going to be up earlier today, but then I had to spend some time fighting with/learning the secret ways of AFF’s formatting, specifically how to keep the site from compressing all the paragraphs together into a single chunk of text. 😅 And don’t worry about me ignoring your stories! I will be reading and posting reviews for the already posted holiday chapters over the next few days. 🙂

“Hello, tech support? Yes, I clicked the wrong button and a rampaging porn monster burst from my machine…. yes… yes…. yes I did try turning it off and on again…. I showed it a JayDee story followed by an InBrightestDay one… No, it’s already eaten all the cookies… it’s currently in the other room trying to order a big meat pizza it can’t afford to pay for and then hire a plumber to “clean some pipes out.” Look, just tell me how to stop it playing cheesy synth music every time it starts doing something.”

I am getting dangerously close to actually finishing Meaningful Gifts, but I’m probably not going to have enough time to do much more than proof-read. I’ll try and polish it a little, but it’s still going to be kind of a first draft, so I hope it goes alright for anyone who reads. 😅

Ah well, I have to actually finish it first. But Julpups had a dream, a dream to see Willow getting cocked more times than Davy Crockett’s rifle, and left with a face like a painter’s radio, and in possession of an exceptionally well-travelled hershey highway, (admittedly, the challenge was not expressed in quite those terms, Julups being a somewhat higher-class individual than me), and it is now my hope to actually succeed in finishing what I started! That all babbled, if you’re a Buffy fan and like the sound of the idea, you could probably take the challenge and do a better and quicker job than me. It looks like the subdomain’s been a bit quiet of late, so I am sure any new contributions would be good ones. Although when the new series happens it’ll hopefully get busier. I haven’t really been to check it out myself for years, I only just got back into fanfiction mindsets recently.

Apologies if this is annoying, as you almost certainly guessed this from reading the topic, but just in case, you weren’t aware, @GeorgeGlass, I have posted a review of your holiday story. Again, not trying to be annoying; it’s strictly a just-in-case thing. 😅

I did run into that, but my immediate concern was the fact that I wasn’t sure how many spaces to put between paragraphs to make sure the site would display them. My first attempt resulted in the story being crunched into a single chunk of text, and I don’t think anyone wants to read an 11,000 word paragraph. 😄

I saw George’s thread the other day about a spacing issue on posting. was that what you had? https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/77018-spaces-disappearing-when-i-paste-text-from-word/#comment-458671 Could be there’s something playing up! I didn’t have a comment because I haven’t uploaded anything for a while. Great you got it finished after all this time. I’ll get in and get it meaningfully reviewed! Edit – done. Real shame these holiday anthologies don’t get more folks these days

Checking back some (ok, seached the forum for ‘Meaningful’ :D) , I see you’ve been working it on and off since at least 2020. I know that feeling, trying to take the time to get something down exactly right. I generally just said screw it and tossed out something wrong instead :D I for one remain looking forward to it. I like some antici…. pation! [/Dr Frank N Furter]

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

I’m going to have to leave myself a note, as this user is claiming that their main profile is locked. It’s more like they didn’t activate into the new system after the password changes, or were not inputting the password allowing for case sensitivity.

I really appreciate the clarification there! I’ve seen worse too, but I’m happy with a B. B minus maybe. I can say also you’ll probably want to avoid the Buffy fic I’m working on since there’s a whole lot of frantic sloppy drool-splashing face fucking with extra heavy loads planned for it, on the plus side I don’t usually write sound effects so only 2 out of 3 would be really bad… Also, instead of choking frog I picture a Goblin, Glurk, who just gives the best BJs. “Tavenkeep! Why’s this place called The Goblin’s Head?” “Go see Glurk in the back room, traveller, and take a gold piece.”

@InBrightestDay re: “What Am I to You?” It’s nice to cover all the bases. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be back to smut next year. Thank you! Wait, you’re Florida Man? I see you in the news all the time. This is all pretty autobiographical. I remember snow in all of these ways. Thanks for the review!

This is true! And a well-done Halloween story it was, in my opinion. 🙂

I did manage a Hallowe’en fic this year, for a change! I started a Holiday fic but things got crazy. I might still try to finish it, maybe by Midwinter?

Well… Certainly Death and Decay do. It would? Selfcest?

So, and I realise this may be the kind of tastelessly offensive question you may want to ignore, but if Famine fucked Fallow, or vice versa, would that be masturbation?

From JayDee on January 08, 2026 Man, forums really have lost their influence… the holiday stories used to get loads of contributions… Such things happen. Insidious by InvidiaRed …is it bad I know what Therion means, but couldn’t quite remember the word/root for Amato? I know more beasts than loved ones I guess. I’m not… entirely sure what happened overall. This is very much a fault of mine rather than the story. The protagonist is a horseman of the apocalypse? Famine? The colt is the horseman’s horse, Fallow? Good name for famine’s horse, that. Fallow and Famine. Two beings, two parts of the same whole. Fallow is the more dangerous of the two. It actually took me a long while until I found the perfect contrast. Death rides Decay, Conquest Rides Conflict, War rides Woe. And the server was just an employee except when it was being an angel with his voice? I got all that. I liked a bunch of the individual sentences I could follow, like the destruction of the satellite, that was cool, It was the perfect way to show just how beyond The Blue Death is. Icarcus is his ult. and the beast rising at the end, and the description of the endless battlefield. All good stuff! Also, I found the half-remembered J, and the past time compelling. Feel like it’d be neat for ‘em to hook up again. “Terrible and proud as only a living blasphemy could. The salted sheets cascading off its lumbering form.” Thank you. That’s my favorite bit, right near the end. Really good bit of imagery. JD, Also a living blasphemy.

I’m gratified to learn that there were already several Zootopia stories here before I posted mine! That seemed like an awfully big gap in fandom. I’ll definitely give them a look.

It was actually no trouble at all, with the new beta. I do want to check with manta before I attempt moving the one from Movies to Cartoons, however. We have a new widget for that as well, but there were all sorts of cautionary statements, and I’m likely to end up summoning something I can’t banish...

I was able to move the stories in Cartoons to the proper subcategory.

I am sure we can manage.

Totally get that. I definitely want to get back to writing in the Buffy fandom at some point but I’ve got a bunch of ideas in other fandoms that I gotta get out of my head. I’m guessing there’ll be a resurgence of interest in the Buffy fandom if/when the sequel series comes out. Maybe there could be a collaboration on ideas. Since I’ve never really done this in fanfic before. Someone else or I write the first chapter and open it up to additional chapters by other writers. So we can work collaboratively on a story. Kinda depends on what people are into though.

Either way, they can’t have two accounts and that will have to be addressed

Well I would argue that I did that already. My Buffy story called Scooby Gang Time includes a chapter called “Willow Group”. You can guess what it means given that it aligns with your idea. I’ve got a couple ideas for the Buffy subdomain but very busy in other subdomains at the moment. Maybe when the new version of the archive goes live, I might add some. Although I don’t want to overwhelm my readers.

Ah, well, if they were a scammer I feel less bad about raising it! Thank you for looking into it. Looks like I missed a a couple: https://naruto.adult-fanfiction.org/review.php?set=read&no=600107091 https://lotr.adult-fanfiction.org/review.php?set=read&no=600081641 Does the new software stop ‘em doing more or is it just a case of keeping an eye out?

All removed, and thank you!

😄 *Joker voice* I’m an agent of chaos… Actually I swear, most days in Florida are surprisingly normal. It’s just every once in a while...

Could be worse – drop the magic hat down an old latrine and suddenly you’ve got the Golgothan demon from Dogma after you!

@JayDee re: “What Am I to You?” From JayDee on January 08, 2026 Yup, based on my own fond memories. And suddenly Christmas becomes Halloween. Right. I was trying to capture how our perception of snow changes over our lifetime. Thanks for the review!

To answer kinda selfie but definitely masturbation lol.

Meaningful Gifts is my first holiday story in a long time, and my longest by quite a bit at 11,016 words. It’s an entry into a...genre? Kink? Well, “romantic incest” at any rate, whatever one wants to call that, and while one of these stories was my first ever work of erotic fiction, this is the first one I’ve published on AFF. first review comes from @InvidiaRed! 😄 Honestly I didn’t remember if I was quoting something or not. I’d seen coffee referred to as “bean water” or “scalding bean water” in a couple places, and this particular variation felt right for the moment. Also I’m glad to see you got the reference to the official corporate sponsor of Christmas-themed brother-sister erotica everywhere, Folgers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMwFWDIFVCU

Sounds like you want to start talking about Chekhov’s Gun... Reading your stuff and trying to avoiding nasty content might not be the best plan. On the other hand, I have read enough by you to know what to expect. Great sex scenes and you sometimes knowing the franchise you are dabbling with… 😉 At the end of the day I also have a reputation to uphold. You might not need reviews to review, but everyone is not as good at doing reviews.

Hot Dog! By @Thundercloud Thank you for the review! With those circa 1000 word flashfics could be kinda hard getting much character in, so nice that one worked for ya. I tended to find with writing those I’d end up having to cut bits out to make the limit, It’s been a few years but I may well have just not had room for extra jokes. Would definitely be some good gag options though! As for the words… well, obstreperous is probably most common, especially as obstreperousness, will more often feature in broadsheet newspapers or more journal-like magazine articles, while oblation and oakum are probably best known/used in much more niche categories, although you probably wouldn’t be too surprised to find them in fantasy works either. All three words probably count as more common than some of the prompts we used to get! Thank you again.

Category name: Zootopia Section category to be in: Cartoons > +S through Z Do you have any stories for it?: Yep. It feels weird and wrong that this very popular movie came out 9 years ago and yet no one has requested a category for it until now.

There’s a few misc Zootopia stories, how does it work once a subdomain it added? Do they need moving? I am sure I knew things like this once here. From google there’s at least these ones from misc cartoons – The Knotty Thot https://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600096097 What Does The Fox Say? https://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600096212 Nick Wilde has a shitty day https://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095625 [from a brief look, this one REALLY lives up to the title!] Lunch with the Mayor https://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095382 Dinner and Dessert https://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095378 And one in movies A Star in the Bed https://movies.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095490 Just seeing this thread I was sure I’d seen some zootopia before so had a quick search. I, uh, I spent a few hours hammering a way trying to remember how to write earlier and sometimes it helps to mess around with google to de-focus

Woo! Freestyling! <3

@GeorgeGlass Kind of dark poetry maybe. Not quite like my main man Edgar Allan Poe but possibly a start? Thanks for reminding me of this. It was hard to keep it in the limit for the challenge but definitely seems to have worked. BTW Just wait until Karen finds the culprit!

@FairySlayer What a lovely comment. I grew up in the Northeast, and I still miss the snow. Nothing else can transform the world around you the way snow does.

Oh, I didn’t realize this was actually on the table as a possibility. Good to know. I’m liking the upgrades you’re making so far.

It’s not there yet, right now we are in the process of doing a site wide code upgrade. A link to the development beta will be available to members near the end of December.

I have wondered something similar in the past. Sometimes it feels good to know who likes you.

I’m pretty sure I’m getting old, but I’m in denial.

I found the story in the archive and added my poem, “What Am I to You?” IR, would you post the link to the story so others won’t have to go searching for it?

As much as I would love to see people use something that would correct formatting and spelling, the onus for that is on the author and not the site. My inner editor may be reduced to tears frequently, but site policy is to let the attempted murder of written English stand around with its flies undone and its complete inability to comprehend homonyms on full display.
