To some extend it comes from the fact that our name is 'Adult Fan Fiction' but I think Bronx said it best. Some of my favorite stories on here have no sex or it's just hinted at. That's not to say that we don't have a ton of smut (cause well we do) but there is no restriction that stories HAVE to have smut
-
Hence why we are an amazing alternative - We are always around and answering question
I own the site, DG is my head admin and the moderators and other staff have been active on this thread as well! -

There is only one restriction to real person fiction and that is that the people involved cannot be under 18 years of age.
While we know that some people prefer that fan fiction is not written about them or based on their characters, we do not restrict unless we receive a cease and desist notice. At this point in time, the only person to have done so is Anne Rice, so everything else goes so long as the above is followed

You make very good points Xenobia! There is a very big difference between a PG-13 sex scene and a porn. I know there are several times that I've gone to see a PG-13 movie (which is basically what my understanding of their M rating is after they had to scrap the MPAA rating system) and questioned if it was truly something that I would allow a child of mine to see at 13. Then again I also tend to be more conservative than many people nowadays, preferring the times when kids were kids!
As an author, I feel for everyone from FF that is trying to hurry and back up their stories before something happens. I know from when they did it the last time that they use a very broad brush and don't look close, just delete... But, as I know I've said before - Welcome to everyone coming over and please be assured that you won't see anything like this from us happen
-
LMAO - I remember when it happened as well...
Many people do realize and just don't give too diddle squats cause they didn't actively moderate or remove 'em as they were posted.

Guest - Our running theory is the whole 50 Shades - It's getting a lot of press and people are finding out that such raunchy (delicious, but raunchy) fiction was originally posted on a website that teenagers can visit. I think they are running scared personally...
-
Admin@adult-fanfiction.org please!

It's not a bother at all
DG is just the very very overworked Admin that runs the database and that type of thing, she tends to be honest to the extreme because it saves her time in the long run as opposed to sugar coating things!Creating a different subdomain is a very time intensive process. It was originally done to reduce the stress on our bandwidth and our database (old old old, cranky database that it is, DG has the magic touch) not to make it easier to find thing honestly. We always had top level categories and what not, but the subdomains.
We are still in the process of fixing and moving stories that were put in the wrong subdomain to begin with, as well as fixing stories from our famed crash many moons ago, so to take on something like that at this time would overload DG and I quite prefer her brain in a non-fried status (Works better that way I find)
I do appreciate the suggestion though! If you have any others, please don't hesitate to share them. It may not always be possible, but we will always read and consider them!

Wow... I can't even begin to say how happy I am to have you all here and so many positive words as well! I hope that with this large infusion of new blood that we can see some of what we've enjoyed in the past (Lotsa reviews, etc) start to happen again. Remember the people follow examples, so make sure you are reviewing as well!!
Please reach out to any of the staff if you have questions and we're always glad to be of assistance!! Have fun all and WELCOME!!!

One thing to also keep in mind for everyone migrating - While we are an adult fan fiction site, you are more than welcome to put non smut here, other than the basics like no stories about real people under 18 and our other guidelines, we don't restrict postings
-
The system may be running a little slow due to the influx, but you won't be able to log on until you verify your account via the link sent in email.

*nods* While I agree completely that it sucks as FF set the expectation by not moderating that they were okay with the content, however, it's also the users responsibility to ensure they are following the ToS of the site
Hopefully people can save their work in time! -
Yes - Please also make sure that you are clicking the link in the verification email
-
They've already started, I remember when they did it 10 years ago and I know they will do it again. It comes down to being a legal issue - They do not have the appropriate protections in place legally.
-
Welcome! Thanks for letting us know that you co-write! Please make sure you review our guidelines for co-authors and send us the appropriate info
-
We don't unfortunately - Please see our new welcome post for FF users under site announcements, I touch on it slightly there and if you review previous news posts, especially end of last year and beginning of this year for additional information
-
I feel like it’s September of 2002 all over again! Almost 10 years ago to the date, FanFiction.net cleansed the site of all ‘adult’ content – Which is why AdultFanFiction.net exists in it’s current form. Today they announced that for the first time in years they are actually going to enforce their no adult content (or in their terms MA content) again. Now, for those of us that enjoy places that enforce their Terms of Service, we are rejoicing that they are finally acting like a responsible site!
We’ve seen an uptick in registrations and I would like to take a moment to welcome all of our new members! We've had one of our biggest days for registrations in a long time, 250+ and counting today alone!
That being said, AdultFanFiction is not FanFiction, nor are we associated in any way shape or form with them. We are two completely separate websites and are not affiliated with them in the least.
A couple things that new users migrating should be aware of:
- We are an adults only site. This means you must be 18 to use it. Yes, we do verify your age, so please, if you've signed up and are underage, let us know now to avoid getting in trouble. I do this not to be mean or nasty, but because I really don't like the thought of jail time. I look horrid in orange, I swear! Please respect this policy
- We actively moderate the site and enforce our Terms of Service and Content Guidelines. Please read them carefully to ensure that you are not in violation. All new uploads are reviewed on a weekly basis. You may receive an email or a review asking you to fix something. Again, this is not because we enjoy being mean, but because we have our ToS in place for a reason.
- We are in the middle of a code re-write. This means that certain sections have different layouts and not all features are currently active. Please bear with us through out the reconstruction - I swear it will be better once it's done!
- To add on to number 3, we haven't sold our soul to the advertising devils, so I promise you won't see those horrid little pop ups that FF.net uses, but that means that we have very little incoming revenue and most of it goes to pay our monthly hosting cost. As a result, we are running (with the exception of the new code) code that is for the most part 5-9 years out of date, which means that a number of the features you may be accustomed to at FF.Net aren't here. You may see them with the new code, but please be patient, there's about another 6 months in this re-write to go.
- Remember I mentioned that we have little incoming revenue a moment ago? Yes, we make some off our advertisers, but again, mostly pays hosting costs - Your donations if you like the site are very much appreciated and are always used to improve the site! You can learn how to donate here
- Forums - Our forums are separate from the archive. They are two different programs. This means that if you would like to participate in both, then you do have to register separately for both. We'd love to see you on the forums, so feel free to hop on over! I do recommend looking over the previous news posts for a variety of important information, but you can also do all kinds of fun stuff, from story searches to various games, read the FAQ's to help learn how our Archive is set up or just chat away in our Shoutbox! (Please note, normally the Shoutbox is reserved for Forum Members only, but for the next week or so until registrations start to level off, it will be open to guests in need of assistance)
- Oh and one last item for Lucky Number 7? Myself and my staff are friendly, so if you have a question please don't be afraid to ask! How to contact us can be found here.
So again, welcome to AFF.Net - So long as you follow the rules, I think we're gonna have a rocking good time together! After all, that's what this place was created for to begin with! Let the smut roll!
- We are an adults only site. This means you must be 18 to use it. Yes, we do verify your age, so please, if you've signed up and are underage, let us know now to avoid getting in trouble. I do this not to be mean or nasty, but because I really don't like the thought of jail time. I look horrid in orange, I swear! Please respect this policy

No Melrick, I didn't forget - I just live in my reality of summer
-
Welcome to summer! Okay, well it isn’t summer for another couple weeks, but it feels like it here! It’s been hot and rainy, with summer thunderstorms left and right! However, we are getting into the time when school is out and the archive seems to go into overdrive until college starts back up in August. That being said, a couple reminders and maintenance items.

ToS and Content Guidelines refresher

Category Renamed

- Monthly Archive Moderation Status
I don’t think we have a very difficult to understand Terms of Service or Content Guidelines, but for whatever reason, sometimes people decide not to read them. I beg you, on behalf of my entire moderating team, please read them. If you aren’t sure if you should do something or if something is right, then re-read them and if you still can’t figure it out – Then for the love of smut, please email our moderating team, catch them in the Shoutbox, ask in the forum, find one of us on IM… and the list goes on. In short, read them, follow them and ask if you have a question.
Speaking of my moderation team: Our open call for moderators resulted in three wonderful applicants, all three came through the interviewing process with flying colors and two of the three accepted our invitation to become archive moderators! One has already begun training and the other will start this week!
Without further ado, I would like to introduce MertMidnightAngel, an Egypt loving, animaniac fairy that adores ancient gods (And goddesses… I think she adores me, if not she will soon!) who, when she’s not haunting the archive, games and spends time with her husband and daughter. Her no nonsense personality and long history as a reader and author on the site will be a perfect fit in with our existing team. Again, as always, please feel free to reach out to her with questions!
Among many of the changes we’ve made, how you edit your profile, your stories etc etc is the big one so far. Many of you may have had the old author panel linked in your favorites for ease of access – While the old profiles will be visible and accessible until we complete our code rewrite, they are read only and you cannot make changes from them. Please make sure for any edits you are accessing your Control Panel. What this means, when you are on the site and logged in, either click the link in the top right hand corner that says ‘My Control Panel’ or if you are an archive (The old layout) click Member Tools>Author Panel. Thank you to those that pointed out the link was wrong in the old layout!
We clarified the name of one of our top level categories in the hopes to clear up some confusion. Comics has long seemed to confuse people as they aren’t sure where things go. In my opinion, part of this was due to the fact that even though X-Men is part of Marvel-verse, we named it first. That has been corrected. X-Men & Marvel ‘verse has been renamed as simply Marvel ‘Verse. Please note that any comics that are produced by Marvel go in this category, this includes the comics, the movies, the TV Shows, the games etc - Anything Marvel 'Verse. If the comic you are writing for is DC based (Again, anything DC goes here) or another publisher then it goes under Comics & DC Verse.
We are holding pretty steady with our Paypal balance. Currently we have $573.60 in the account. While we are always able to pay our monthly bill with the income generated by our advertisers, we still have about $750.00 due to our coder for the new site code over the next 6 months, so all donations are greatly appreciated. As always, please donate if you can. Information on how to donate can be found here.
As we implement the new moderation tools behind the scenes, we’ve been finding a large number of minors, old minors, etc etc. DemonGoddess has been extremely busy with this, take a look at her numbers here.
Hope everyone has a marvelous summer!
Apollo & DemonGoddess
