Oh, it’ll be that newfangled alt.sex.stories over on that usenet I expect. I’ll get my 56k modem out and soon be speeding down the information superhighway! JayDee, never managed to summon a dragon, but did attract a drake with a dropped sandwich by the river.

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.

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?

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. 🤣

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

You all are making me miss my IBM PC XT, with its blazing fast 8088 CPU, 64k of RAM, and that spanky 10MB hard drive. And talk about operating systems? MS-DOS, baby! (I blew up 2 XTs and an AT before they gave me a PS 2, guaranteed not to faint under pressure.)

😆 “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.”

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.

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.

Dunno, I’ve have some good writing sprints while in a foul mood.

Given the current tech market, might be the way we’re all heading.

Use gopher?

If you can’t get it by FTP, is it even worth getting?

God we all missed you here, JayDee. It really must be said. 😄

I imagine there are people who would be into chanting and incantations. Not to mention demons and dragons for some fun. I believe there are a couple stories on here which write about that.

I’ve been out of fanfic so long I don’t even know what the other website is anymore It were livejournal, long ago…

@InBrightestDay No apologies needed for not mentioning the others, silly.

I actually wanted to say a bit more here, not just to apologize for speaking up here before seeing if clearing the browsing history would help (I knew it fixed an issue with the age verification button, but arbitrarily assumed this problem was completely different), but also to say something I think goes unsaid a lot. I know @DemonGoddess and folks like @manta2g do a lot of work behind the scenes and may be stretched very thing, since donations can be scarce. I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you all do, especially when something happens with the site and I’m suddenly anxious about what to do, as happened just now. I’ve never really interacted directly with either of you, but since I know that sysadmin can be a stressful job and can feel very unappreciated, I just wanted you to know that I don’t take you for granted, and that what you do for the site and for the people here means a lot to me.

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

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

It Kinda feels weird when you’re finishing up a series. But Writing the ending to Duncan and Co feels cathartic. <3

So… happy endings?

I had assumed that speaking the incantation would summon dragons & demons… it’ll remain unspoken & unwritten here.

I understand. I knew Manta was involved heavily in site-related matters, and you’ve always been around as well, whether you were formally working here or just struggling to survive your job (I’ve been there). My apologies for not also mentioning Bronx and @Melrick Thank you. I don’t know everyone here, and I don’t always talk, but this is also how I feel about this site. thank you for all that you’ve done for the site, and as with all the others, even if I don’t really say too much, please know how grateful I am for all of it. ❤️

Manta is our coder and when she makes a suggestion about site code, I listen to her. While I was working abominable hours, BronxWench and all the other moderators picked up the slack for me. For years, all I did was work and sleep. I certainly appreciate the acknowledgement, but, there are others more deserving of it, such as manta2g, BronxWench, Melrick, etc. I’ve only just recently (the past few months) become more active like I should be. It’s taken over a year to recover from the years of overwork.

Thanks, JayDee! I look forward to reading your review once I have access to the archive again.

I also did this just now, so that might have played a part. Sorry for being a bit behind everyone else. 😅

That appears to be a bug with some browsers. The new archive is a work in progress, and they’re working on it as fast as they can.

One year… might’ve been my first. I did a Halloween story, and decided to continue it with a sequel for the holiday story.

The bug preventing new forum registrations has been fixed.

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.”

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?

Happy New Year to everyone on the Gregorian calendar! Just happy to be here to everyone else!

Happy New Year from NYC, and good riddance to 2025… 🎉🍾 (As a friend said last night, he’s giving 2025 zero stars on Yelp—does not recommend)

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.
