    You should always keep your stories as files on your computer. I use Word, simply because it’s what I’m used to.

    Like everybody else, I’m frustrated as heck by the arrogance/entitlement of the perpetrator, cause it’s infringing on OUR server and curtailing OUR ability to speak/publish in a place that’ll tolerate our eccentricities. </end-rant>

    WillowDarkling got a reaction from MorbidFantasy in Tomb Raider: Fat Man Chronicles, review and discussion thread.   
    Unfortunately we don’t allow pictures of any kind outside of the Art Forum, as per the rules stated here: https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/66222-can-i-upload-pornographic-pictures-to-the-forum/
    But you can post a link to those pictures in your post with a short description (something like “woman in skimpy/sexy schoolgirl outfit” would suffice) so users who are not members can see them too.

    WillowDarkling reacted to GeorgeGlass in Need updated FAQs   
    With the site revamp (thank you, Manta!), a lot of things seem to work differently now. I can’t figure out how to post a chapter, and the old instructions for doing so appear to be obsolete. Can someone update the FAQs on adding, editing, and deleting chapters? (And probably a bunch of other archive-related things?)
    Edit: I just read the announcement on the news page about how to get to the Story Manager. But the FAQ still ought to be updated.

    While the Archives are in Read Only mode the Head Archive mod is unable to delete any accounts. 
    Therefore, if you do wish to have your account deleted please leave a post on this thread, linked here: Wish To Delete Account Thread
    This is in order to keep all of the deletion requests in one place, to try and make things a little easier on our Head Archive mod when we get back up and running. 
    We will need your username in the archive, and a link to your profile would be awesome. Also, if you have a forum profile that will need to be deleted too, so a forum username and link would be brilliant as well.

    WillowDarkling reacted to GeorgeGlass in How much writing are you getting done while the site is in read-only mode?   
    I’m keeping up my usual writing pace. That’s partly because I post on other sites in addition to this one. But I still consider this my main story site; this is the only site where every single one of my 100+ stories is posted.

    I have one story over on the Pit. When I first started writing fan fiction, that’s where I posted, and this other author read what I thought was a one-shot, and asked me, “What happened next?” And that was it. I was off to the races. I pulled everything off the Pit years ago, but after she passed, I revised that first story and reposted it there in her memory.
    I have one co-authored story over on another site, but it’s pretty much dead and I doubt it will ever be finished, which is a pity. I loved the story, and my co-author, but the site was less than welcoming when she had an issue, so… I pulled everything else I had there and never looked back.
    Pretty much anything I’m not going to publish for sale lives here. AFF is my home.

    AFF Site Update:
    Hi everyone, I just heard back from AFF. The site is unfortunately still in Read Only mode, while they go through their source code to make sure they don't keep getting hacked. They'll post on the news board when everything is up and running again. They're as frustrated as we are and we just have to be patient. Personally, I'd rather they take longer and fix their vulnerabilities once and for all, rather than have this sort of thing happen every few months.

    Just want to let everyone know I’m still alive and well and working hard! I do not believe I will move this story anywhere else as of right now. I will keep the idea of a singular webpage in mind, somewhat like BashfulScribe, but I will stay here for now. Just want to give a big thank you to the site team for working hard to get it back up and running and I promise that as soon as it is ready again, I will post everything I have. Hope everyone is well!

    The Archive is still in Read Only mode, so it is not possible to upload chapters. Or anything else, like reviews etc. Our coder and admin are working their butts off to fix the Archive, but until they announce that we are back up and running nothing that is uploaded will stick. 
    Please be patient and watch the forum for announcements from our admin concerning the status of the Archive.

    You can’t edit anything in your profile right now, which is why you can’t turn off anon reviews. No one can make a new account. No one can delete an account. That’s why it’s called read-only mode.
    As far as renaming review.php, Manta and DG have enough work to do without making more for themselves. So, let’s allow them to concentrate on stopping the hacker’s access so we can get back to normal.
    I’m not a coder, but I’m guessing that at the very least, it would mean renaming that bit of code in 22 discrete databases, as well as any cross-references elsewhere. And after the site is fixed, they’ll have to go back and find all those renamed bits and change them back, and hope none get missed because if I have to listen to anyone complaining about not getting reviews in whatever subdomain, after watching Manta and DG sweat for nearly 2 months to get things working again, I will absolutely lose my shit with said complainant.

    Since our archive staff is unable to delete user accounts at the moment, due to the Archive being in read only mode, I am creating and pinning this thread here for anyone who would like their Archive account deleted, to try and make things easier for the Archive mods. 
    What we will need is your Archive user name, and a link to your profile would make things go a lot more smoothly. And if you have a forum profile a link to that would be most helpful as well, since that will be deleted when there is no archive profile associated with it. 
    And please be patient with us, our coder and admin are working their butts off to get this whole thing sorted.

    The validity or benefit of reviews isn’t really what’s being discussed here. It’s an inquiry into the ability of readers to leave reviews, and it’s very much related to that, rather than the quality or quantity of reviews. There’s a whole other thread for that elsewhere.

    Unfortunately, we can’t shut off the review feature, even though it’s not working properly. I’m pretty sure profile updates aren’t saving properly, either, so you may still be receiving anonymous reviews.
    I know how frustrating this is, really. Everyone is doing all they can to resolve the situation, but if putting the archive online is only going to result in another attack, it’s not prudent. Once the site is properly hardened against this sort of attack, we can get back to being what we’re supposed to be—a fiction archive with readers and writers interacting happily.

    I got another alert about a review that wasn’t there when I checked the archives. I’ve gone into my profile and disabled anonymous reviews (if that function is working, at least), so at least some people will know that they can’t review my stories right now.

    WillowDarkling got a reaction from JamesRyderErotica in I still cannot update my story   
    No, you are constantly posting irrelevant post in a thread that has to do with Tech support for the Archive. So, I am hiding the posts that have NOTHING to do with the thread. For example, the last post I hid from you, you were discussing my gender and pronouns, which are of absolutely NO concern either for you, nor for this thread. 
    This is not abuse, this is staff trying to keep control of a thread that has to do with an ongoing issue with our archive. Simple as that. 
    We are not bullying you, we are not abusing you, we are simply trying to maintain order. And if you continue to post irrelevant posts on this thread, I will continue to hide them.

    We are not affiliated with FFN or any other fiction archive, so membership elsewhere would have no bearing here.
    Right now, with the archive in read-only mode, it is not possible to create a new archive profile. The forum is working just fine, but an AFF archive profile is required for forum registration, so until the archive is up and running, I’m afraid there isn’t much we can do. Our coder and admin are working as quickly as they can to resolve the issues we’ve had, and we hope to be able to return to normal sooner rather than later.

    Totally get it. I have a whole list of stories that I have been planning on writing and right before the problem of this hacker, I was worried that I wasn’t updating fast enough because I’m writing too slow. Now I don’t feel that way.
    It’s going to be fun when it comes back on and hopefully it’s going to be enjoyed for people.
