Just a heads up if you visit the CafePress Store at all:
In preparation for the redesign and new content, we have temporarily removed all content from the store. If you visit the store, there will be nothing available for purchase. I will post any updates or new information as we have it, so if you're interested in the store please feel free to watch the thread!

Apollo thought it up, now I gotta implement it...
*blinks and adopts innocent eyes* You could always teach me to code and then I could do it on my own.... *grins* But since I think most of our members prefer the site in working order, perhaps you shouldn't....
-
I have noticed that the Games and Attack Shop are no longer there.
Are there plans for their eventual return?
These programs were written for the old coding and with the upgrades we completed don't work right now. DG is exploring the add on's for the new coding to see what extra's we'll be able to add on. Hopefully we will have new stuff soon!

I think a lot of it too has to do with the author's writing style. I believe that so long as they are used sparingly they can still have impact. Now if every sentence is formatted that way....

Forum Upgrade Completed
As you may have noticed, DemonGoddess completed the forum upgrade last week and we now can say that we are up-to-date on the forum end. Due to the changes in the scripting, you may also have noticed that the old familiar look is no longer available, but good news abounds because this means that you can control the look. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page, you can see that there are a variety of different skins to choose from, so feel free to play around and find one that you like!
Upcoming Contest
Since we have secured the AFF Store on CafePress, we are going to start to make use of it again! To do so though, we will be calling on you our loyal readers to help. Put on your thinking caps and your eye out for details about an upcoming original art contest to help revive the store!
Funding Status
Information to exact status is always found on the donations page. Currently, the site has $156.35 stored in PayPal. October's hosting costs have been paid and with expected advertising revenue we are well covered for November! We do always appreciate donations though! Please see the donation page for further information.
AFF Store and admin@ email address
The store will be coming back, new and improved, I promise. However, like I said above, it's going to take a bit of work and some help! As for the admin email address? Well, I'm still slogging through bit by bit. If at all possible, please still refrain from sending new mail to it. I would be most grateful!
Twitter coming to AFF
We have finally found a way that as Author's you can notify your readers about new stories or updates! In your author's panel we will be adding in a field for your Twitter information. If you so desire, you can create a Twitter feed that your readers can then follow to stay up to date on all your fiction happenings! AFF will also be joining Twitter once this goes live that way you can follow us and we will have yet another way to keep you informed on all the latest happenings!
Happy reading!
Apollo

Thanks for sharing! It's such a huge issue with women nowadays - We need to make sure that we pay attention!
AFF will also be adding a few not for profit banners linking to various Breast Cancer Awareness sites into the footer banners so keep an eye out!
Keep the boobies healthy!

Guest posting is now active and working again. I'll have some pre-made selectable skins installed probably tomorrow. It's going to TAKE me awhile to figure out the new skinning protocols
And a big round of applause :clap:for DG! With out her hard work, this wouldn't have gone so smoothly!!!!
-
At this point in time, there is no way to get update notices - You would simply have to bookmark the story or author and check back periodically to see if there is anything new to read. Sorry

Heyas everyone!
I'm entering the world of writing het, something that I have never done before... That being said, I'm more than a little nervous and unsure about my writing, so would love one of the wonderful beta's that I know are out there to help!
As I said, it's het, purely at this point. I'm entertaining the possibility of perhaps a threesome later on tho.
It will be erotic, and there will be some BDSM, not sure how heavy tho, D/s, some fetish maybe, and pulling from our wonderful content codes: Fingering, SoloM/F, HJ, anal, toys, etc.
I'm looking for someone who can be 100% honest with me, and I mean 100%! If it sucks, I wanna know. If it needs work, I wanna know.
Between the site, school and other commitments I can't say that I'll be on a steady writing schedule, so I would need someone flexible, but willing to poke at me here and there as a reminder to write.
If your willing to work with me, feel free to shoot a message on here and we can work out the details!

I would Yaaar...but I seem to have a dagger in me mouth!

Does anybody else think this site announcement post is starting to get a wee bit out of hand and off topic? lol
Oh hey BTW everyone - I'm back and thank you for all your well wishes!!!!!
(Happy now? B) )

Your poor mother if that's the case!! And has anyone offered to be your publicist and take you on tour as the worlds 1st known alien...?
As for mushrooms, yes, let me put fried fungus in my body... Yuck! I don't mind the taste of mushrooms so much as the texture, no matter how they are prepared!
-
With Greek tendencies...?
-
Yuck... you can keep those...
-
nah, she got it, she was just distracted by mushrooms.....
Mushrooms or shrooms...?

....
Karithopita
Is better
Hands down
Especially with Paximathia to dip in coffee.
And the Olympus reference totally fell flat on it's face...Blah....
-
Hey! Welcome back, pretty lady! Now let me suggest you eat karithopita and drink tea with honey. Cause if you don't... I might have to kick your pretty rear into doing so. Cause I can.
I've always been more of a nectar and ambrosia kinda gal.... Unless there is coffee! Then that wins hands down....
-
Okay, consider it done! Although I'm going to need trauma counseling first though...
So, I checked and while being a Mod has a lot of great perks, health insurance isn't one of them... You'll have to handle that on your own dear
-
OMG! That so sounds like Trelawny in all the "she's after Snape's ass" fics! ROTFL
I now have a mental image that will never go away when I picture Jaxxy. Thank you.
And here I was picturing her with a bird's head squawking..
-
*sighs in relief* Oh thank god... no more stars being aligned in such a way as to suggest we're well matched... *shudder*
*looks out the window* well I see stars aligned, but never put much stock in those things... Besides, while I hear your an Aussie and always have had a soft spot for the accent, I got myself a delish boy toy already. You can always apply for the spot when it opens up! *giggles naughtily*
-
Wait... what? Okay, don't tease me with this... are you seriously saying The Great Insane one has gone? No... no, I don't believe it, won't believe it, I've been hurt before and refuse to let myself get hurt again!
*grins cheekily and holds up 3 fingers in a mock girl scout salute* I promise I only to tease and hurt if I'm asked nicely...and I've never had anyone complain....

Art for a 2011 AFF Calendar Contest
Since we have secured the AFF Store on CafePress, we are going to start to make use of it again! To do so though, we are calling on you our loyal readers to help. Put on your thinking caps, get out your pencils (or computers if you're new school) and get drawing! Please see this topic for all the important details!
Dribs, Drabs and Doggy Tales!
AFF will be starting a weekly Drabble Prompt! Yes, that's right... We are taking drabbles & flashfics to a whole new level!

Please visit this forum starting Sunday 8am for complete rules and the 1st prompt!

Technical Updates from DemonGoddess
Lost password function
Currently not working, due to the core software upgrade. While the fix is being worked on, this is what users need to do in the meantime. Post to this forum, with link to your author page. Someone will be sure to manually generate the email for you from the backend.
Clean up Update
The following top levels have been created, or will be shortly:
To help facilitate story moving, here is what can be done. This is something requires a member assist.
Email to forums@adult-fanfiction.org , subject Cleanup req
Where a subcategory does not yet exist (this applies to the DC and Marvel top levels), start with the category req for it.
Then, link to the story you need moved to the new top levels. Re-add the story to the category if it already exists, if not, I will email you when it's created, and then add it then. DO NOT delete the old story. I need that for some of the data, which I will then add to the new upload. After I'm done with that, moving any attached reviews, and adding the story rating that was pre-existing, I will delete the old story. Alternatively, this can all be posted in the category requests forum. Once I've finished with any data migration needed done for that request, expect to see the topic closed. I would also ask where there are stories in process of migration already (such as Angel in the tv subdomain), that those users do this as well.
Upcoming software change
Enhanced searching. The engine has to be installed to the server, and the search routine has to be rewritten to allow for the new search engine, so that it all works properly. The new core search engine is designed with large databases in mind, and doesn't work right on small databases. As we all know, our current search engine leaves a lot to be desired. That's simply because the database itself is far too large for it to work effectively. The current search engine works fine on databases which are 200MB in size or smaller. As ours is 7.6GB and growing, one can see the problem. ETA on that is one to two months.
Forum modifications
For the ones I've mentioned that are in development, I have no ETAs for code release. They're too early in to the rewrites to give one. These modifications are all being rewritten in php 5.x, just as the forum itself was rewritten in php 5.x. I also have to find a working points system, to even be able to install any of this.
