    No, I don’t have any prompts for Wat. As fine a name as it was for many a medieval commoner. Most famous being Wat Tyler.

    WillowDarkling reacted to pippychick in give me prompts   
    Someone moves into a new house. While waiting for their new wifi to be set up, they can’t help noticing that alongside all of their new neighbours’ locked wifi connections, there is an open connection with an innocent title. Maybe it calls itself “Free Wifi” or something. Maybe the person ignores it at first. So it gets creative. It changes its tag.
    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? (OPEN)
    JOIN THIS NETWORK (OPEN)
    WHILE YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR OWN WIFI TO BE SET UP (OPEN)
    Maybe it starts calling the person by name. Until, eventually, overcome and doomed by their own curiosity, they connect.
    What do they expect? The world to fall down? Did they use that less valuable laptop? The old one? You know the one, the one that it doesn’t matter if it gets compromised somehow? The one they never use for banking? Does it matter?
    They’re online. They can do all the usual things they do while online. They can read the news, go on twitter, talk to friends. They can view pornography. They can post any old filth that they want. Perhaps it’s surprising how quickly they trust this new connection, having run a couple of virus checkers and malware programs. There’s really nothing wrong with it. Maybe there’s something wrong with them.
    Possibly, they never actually made it to their new house, and their newly freed soul got lost somewhere on the way to the next place. The choices they make and the spaces they visit would determine which place that would be; heaven or hell.
    Obviously, I’m imagining it would be a lot more fun for the MC to be damned by themselves, but you could go the other way. It’s a microcosm (in a story) of the whole ‘free will’ thing, so you could make it as philosophical as you want, as satirical as you want, and clearly there’d be lots of lovely temptation going on left, right and centre that you could play with.

    I’m answering this as an author on this site, not as a staff member. But I am pretty sure that there will not be any kind of a download feature added to the site. And as an author, I would not want one.

    Still beating that dead horse, I see…
    Hey, everyone! You can find @nautiscarader on AO3 and tumblr. He just stops here to complain from time to time because we don’t let him link that in his stories, as per paragraph 3 of our Terms of Service (the same ToS he agreed to when he made his account):
    See, he’s exempt because he says so, and we’re too stupid to understand that. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima fucking culpa.

    We’re not in denial about other archives existing. I started on the Pit myself but when I found AFF, I decided I’d found home. DG was awesome, the mods made me feel welcome, and before I knew it, I was volunteering.
    AO3’s Terms of Service is deliberately obscure, because they moderate via committee. That translates into nothing much ever getting done, and they are fond of making decisions which directly contradict their own ToS. Point that out, and you might get warned for something. Anything. They’ll invent it on the spot. And then there’s the “choose your preferred format” download button, resulting in a good many works there winding up on Kindle for sale, and not by the original author. (And yes, they do sell fanfiction. They just don’t mention it’s fanfiction, and if it’s AU enough, no one notices. 50 Shades, anyone?)
    Tumblr is not a fiction archive as much as it is a haven for malcontents and cyberbullies, and Wattpad gets hacked with dreary regularity. The Pit enforces their ToS with sporadic urgency and periodic purges, mostly when an advertiser gets a complaint about their ad appearing on a smutty site. Fiction Press is just the Pit for original work, and many of the fandom-based sites are gone because it’s not cheap to host an archive. Our small advertising revenue pays for our hosting costs, and every single member of staff is an unpaid volunteer. We do this for love of the words.
    But we never ask our members to post here exclusively. We love that people share the words. We just ask that they don’t use stories in our archive as free advertising for other sites.

    I would like to point out that if AO3, tumblr, and the ever-present Pit would care to advertise with us, we’d be delighted to let you redirect to them to your little heart’s content. However, since they aren’t supporting us, we see absolutely no reason to offer them free advertising, especially when we have advertisers who do pay for banner ads here.
    In keeping with our censorship-free policy, however, we won’t poke at your use of our forum to insult AFF.  I will, however, point you to our Terms of Service and the Content Guidelines incorporated therein.

    We do not mind at all that people ask for stories which are located on other sites, although I do think that guests can’t post direct links. IF the story is posted on AFF we do like to direct readers to that, rather than offsite, but if the story is not, we don’t mind. 
    What we do NOT allow on the other hand are requests for copies of stories, nor links to sites where the story has been posted by someone other than the author. Therefore, I have edited your post.

    We don’t mind really, if the story is posted elsewhere and a link to it is put in the response to the challenge, but this forum is meant to be for users of Adult-fanfiction.org, so, if the story isn’t posted in our Archive, we would prefer that the readers not use this forum to discuss it. I can’t see what’s strange about that rule.

    WillowDarkling reacted to BronxWench in Another Layout Update?   
    The new layout was done to accommodate mobile users, and the side menus, while admittedly more convenient from my perspective as a devoted desktop user and as someone who trawls through every archive while moderating, were not going to work.
    There’s always some give and take, and as much as we’d like to, we’re not going to please everyone. However, we’re hoping this makes it easier for the growing number of our members who want to do everything on their mobile devices. The rest of us will eventually get used to the extra steps (says the cranky old dragon who still uses a Galaxy IIIs phone on purpose).

    WillowDarkling got a reaction from BronxWench in Site title and top RIGHT author panel gone?!   
    Just letting you girls know, I just checked… took me a moment to find the login, but you know, this is me we’re talking about… but, I managed to log in, then hovered over my penname and clicked profile, not selecting anything from the drop down menu, and it took me to my profile. But, seemed to log me out at the same time. At least my penname at the right hand side of the menubar, it said “Login” again. Don’t know if it helps anything, or if it’s just me and shit’s going to blow up in a bit… 
    ::looks around suspiciously:: This is me… I breathe in the general direction of your tech stuff and it blows up… you’ve all seen it happen, girls! 
    And just because I’m your neko, I liked the old style better  I know it’s done for the mobile friendly thing, but you know I hate change   ::runs away to hide in the cardboard box::
     
    UPDATE: I closed the Archive, wrote this post here, then went back to the Archive… and was still logged in   See, I told you it was my utter lack of technical understanding…   I’m going to bed. Had a final and a presentation today, and got review and a final I’m thoroughly unprepared for tomorrow… Love y’all, and see yous laters!
