  1. Before exiting Cal, she paused to pull herself back together and see how the rest of the team was doing. Bronx and Kelk appeared to be having fun with the new girls, but that failed to surprise her. She knew that Bronx was none to happy to leave her mailled man and would use the first opportunity to work off some of that horniness. Sanura and Jem appeared to be on their way to them as well, so there was nothing to worry about there.

    Foe on the other hand... Apollo paused, there was a strange feel from where he was. "Cal, is Foe okay? Can you get vitals on him?"

    "He's stationary, I can tell you that much. Brainwaves don't seem to indicate that he's awake though, heartbeat is steady ... ish..."

    "Ish?" Apollo questioned, concern coloring her voice. Foe was an experienced fighter, so she was a little worried. Unless he'd found a partner and was now napping in post orgasm bliss as men were aught to do. "Monitor him please and if anything changes while I'm on my way there, let me know?"

    "Will do."

    "Thanks," Apollo replied before taking the lift back down to street level. Waving to the people who were still gathering and taking pictures, she weaved skillfully through the crowd.

    Suddenly a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind, breath warm against her ear as her attacker growled, "Now what's a pretty girl like you doing out of a dark stairwell?"

    Tension leaving her body, she palmed the small knife back into the cuff at her wrist before turning. "T! What in the world? It's so good to see you!!" she gushed, the added height of her heels allowing her to press a small kiss to his lips.

    "I saw you earlier when you arrived and lost you in the crowd," T replied, his brown eyes twinkling down at her, "Where in the world did you get such a sweet ride? And why didn't you tell me, I totally would have loved to come down on your arm from that!"

    Laughing, Apollo linked arms with him and kept walking, "I didn't know I was arriving or how until last minute hun. Besides, I'm here on business, not pleasure. Haven't really had a chance to enjoy much of the con. How've you been enjoying yourself so far?"

    T started rambling on about the women he'd seen and the fun he'd had the previous night, bemoaning that she hadn't been at the kiltblowing to cheer him on, and wringing a promise from her to try to get there tonight. It was easy enough to propel him towards the Dealer's Room. Curiously, it seemed to be rather empty, a strange thing considering the time of day. Through the glass, she could see the battle going on and felt T pull to a dead stop beside her. "What the hell?!?"

    "No time!" Apollo called over her shoulder, heading into the room as water seeped in between her toes. Finding Foe, she knelt beside him, checking his pulse. Who ever the girl fighting the Suenobi was, she was good and Apollo decided that interfering was probably not her best course of action at the time. Instead she focused on Foe, barely recognizing that T had come in behind her and was watching the fight with open fascination.

    Apollo could feel when the fight finished and was thankful to feel the water being pulled out of the carpet beneath her. Foe was finally starting to stir when the other woman knelt next to her.

    Looking over, Apollo smiled, "Nice work back there. I'm Apollo and you are?"

    "Atargatis."

    Of course it was that moment that Foe decided to get his wits about him and sat up abruptly, muscles tensed to rejoin the fight, only to have two feminine hands reach out at the same time to hold him back.

    "Not so fast Foe," Apollo admonished, pushing him back down. "That was quite a knock to the noggin there, give it a second, lets make sure you're all here."

    "Starting with what year is it?" Atargatis asked, smoothly breaking in to Apollo's line of thought.

    Foe winced, "Do we really have to start with that question?"

  2. Apollo glanced at the woman and shrugged, "Hell if I know, I've just been making it up as I go along. That's the one nice thing about being an Author, so long as it's plausible and you can write it with enough confidence that people believe it, your good! Same thing tends to apply when fighting Sue's. Regular Sue's you can just kill. The Tzu's you can't really kill in a traditional fight as they tend to plan 50 moves ahead and always anticipate shit, so you gotta out smart 'em like Bronx did. There are some other types, plus the leaders, general's etc etc, but right now focus on the Tzu's. They tend to be nasty things, but they are surprisingly easy. Must be amateurs."

    That said and the background given, Apollo started walking away from 'Cune. "Just remember, don't kill the civilians and stick around so Foe can talk to you later," she called over her shoulder before muttering under her breath, "When ever later is... I swear if he comes back smelling like a whore house again with out an explanation after we've been fighting, I'm gonna 'jack Cal and go rogue..."

    She knew that the Tzu's wouldn't cause too much damage and that Bronx and Kelk, for all they were enjoying themselves, would return to battle if something serious started happening.

    Cal had updated her on Kagome's situation while Cune was processing the data dump and Apollo decided it was time to end this once and for all. Heading back to where he had parked himself, Apollo stalked into the room that DA had left Kagome restrained in.

    "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" the redhead fumed, pacing back and forth in front of the girl. "No, don't answer that," she growled when the girl started to talk.

    The click of her heels echoed loudly in the room as she walked, trying to work her anger into a coherent thought. Stopping in front of Kagome, Apollo glared, "Are you trying to get us all killed? I thought you were a fucking Author for Hera's sake! I swear, you are some sort of pathetic Author from what I've seen. You can barely hold your own in a fight and I swear you've been captured more than Leia was in all three damn movies! At least that girl could take care of herself! Hell, she killed Jabba all on her own!"

    Snorting derisively, she continued her rant, "You better straighten the fuck up right quick or I'll have Cal keep you here until we can drop you off in a place where you can't hurt yourself or other's with your lackluster abilities. IF and this is a big if, we decided you can stay after this Verse, know that we will not be saving your ass one more time. Do you understand me?"

    Mutely, Kagome nodded, watching as the other woman stalked out of the room.

    "Cal, you can release her now, but keep her here until Foe or I tell you to allow her out of the ship please."

    "Your wish..." came the silky response.

    Apollo laughed softly, "Yea, yea, you just don't want me mad at you. Thanks!" Confident Cal could keep Kagome there, she headed back into the fray otherwise known as Dragon Con.

  3. To add on to what DG has already said, our staff (primarily consisting of 2 people, more when personal lives allow) review new additions to the entire archive on a weekly basis. Asking them to pause each time they encounter an error and explain what the error is would add on an excessive amount of work to their already overloaded plates.

    However, I will take the time to review the current warning that we are using to see if there is a way we can make it friendlier to the users.

    As you said though, reading would solve 99% of the issues that people have as we have outlined what needs to be in a disclaimer spelled out for people :)

  4. First off - Your mistake was deciding to get sexual in regards to a member's 16 year old daughter. We do not allow anything about real underage people on site. Yes, another member made an inappropriate comment before realizing who the subject of the conversation was and immediately apologized.

    Your comment

    Being gay shouldn't be much of an issue if she doesn't mind being dryhumped by straight guys... ¬.¬

    was made after the subject's age and relationship was revealed.

    When I first repremanded you for your action, instead of apologizing, you decided to post a flip remark.

    It's not like she is reading this, and it's not like anything i say involving me and her has any chance of becoming reality; it's pretty much like as if i'm talking about a fictional character ¬.¬

    Your 'apology'

    but if i offended anyone i sincerelly apologize, it was never my intention

    should have been directed at the member, as I clearly stated in my post.

    No. You are talking about a REAL girl who is a DAUGHTER. I do not allow stories about real underage people on the site and will not allow you to speak about ANYONE's daughter like that. The next post better be an apology or you WILL be suspended.

    Regardless of what a member states or does not state, please remember, I run the site. Even after the member stating that it was okay, I specifically stated:

    Not to anyone - To . It's her daughter. Apologize to her.

    You did not. You were told that you needed to apologize to the member and you were told what the consequences would be if you didn't and they were enforced.

    There is a difference at trying to be humorous at an adult's expense and trying to be humorous at a child's expense. I understand that you come from a different culture than many of us and that English is not your native language if I remember correctly from previous correspondence; however there are socially accepted norms across much of the civilized world. Not being sexual in regards to someone's child in front of them, to their face, tends to be one. Also if I recall correctly where you come, your country has in recent years even cracked down on pedophilia, hosting a World Congress against the Sexual Exploration of Adolescents and Children, so I fail to recognize culture as an excuse for such inappropriate, insensitive, ignorant, callous, disrespectful and reprehensible comments/follow through.

    You are welcome to return to the Shoutbox Thursday evening when I remove the ban after work. At which point, I hope you will conduct yourself with a more mature attitude. You have a tendency to debate, if I feel like being polite and calling that, so let me also warn you now, the interpretations of your actions and the consequences are not up for debate. I was not the only one that felt that you were way out of line. The ban is the shoutbox only and only temporary, do not make me consider making it for a more extended period of time.

  5. Apollo watched the Tzus melt out of the crowd that had started to form for the next panel in the empty ballroom they had 'borrowed' to interrogate the newcomers and a smile spread slowly across her face. Oh this was going to be fun! Barely noticing what Kelk and Foe were doing, she started to look over the potential foes to pick a target when one was tossed in her direction. Startled, she almost missed catching the Tzu, fingers grasping the hair just in time to stop the forward motion.

    "Oh goody!" Apollo exclaimed, "A new toy! Come with me m'dear!"

    Dragging her toy by the hair across the room, she passed by the werewolf and tossed off a word of advice as she passed, "Either hide somewhere good or get inventive. Don't try to fight 'em traditionally, they plan ahead and will always counter any expected move." Her good deed done, she continued to the stage and tossed the still healing Tzu on to it.

    Thankfully, the Tzu was still regaining control of her limbs as her spine re-knit, so wasn't able to defend herself as Apollo drove a parazonium through each wrist and another one through the tops of her feet, pinning them both together to the stage in a strange parody of the crucifixion. Apollo was hoping that even though the Tzu could heal rapidly that they were similar to vampires and lycanthropes that they couldn't if the implement that caused the damage was still there.

    Of course it was at that point that the Tzu's vocal cords started to work again, "What the fuck do you think you are doing?? Don't you know I am a Tzu? I am the almighty fighting hand that has come to destroy you and your friends so that those we serve can begin the process of turning all those here into new minions."

    Rolling her eyes, Apollo pulled up a chair so that she could sit and look down at her struggling opponent, finding herself glad that the triangular blades had enough of a hilt that she couldn't work herself off of them. For good measure, she slammed a doru through the Tzu's abdomen, damaging the muscles enough that she couldn't gain leverage that way either. "Okay, sorry, you were saying?"

    The Tzu began to spout off again about the glory they would receive and how well trained they were, blah blah blah. Apollo kept half an eye on the battle raging out in the main area of the stage, ready to jump in if need be while projecting an image of herself falling asleep to the Tzu. After all, everything always had to be about the Tzu's and everyone must pay attention to the all important words they spoke or wrote.

    The Tzu started to get frustrated, "Aren't you hearing a word I'm saying???? WE WILL DESTROY YOU! I WILL CHOP OFF YOUR HEAD AND ADORN MY SPEAR WITH IT"

    Apollo pretended to jolt awake at the screaming, "Huh? Did you say something?"

    Black foam started forming around the Tzu's mouth and leaking from her eyes, making her look like a rabid raccoon at best. Yawning, Apollo looked back out, letting the image the Tzu saw slump back over into sleep. She wasn't quite sure what Foe had conjured up out there, and, wait... Apollo squinted, did he really pin the one with the ears to the wall? Shaking her head, she smothered a laugh. She only hoped that it didn't end up getting the girl killed, so she resolved to keep an eye on the hanging woman.

    Glancing back at her captive, she realized that the voice was getting weaker and the thing was starting to fade from existence. Mentally, she filed this away for future battles, Tzus were like trolls, don't feed 'em and they go away, who knew? Holding up the facade a little longer, she watched until there was only an inky outline of a body left and collected her weaponry. Tucking two of the parazonium back into her hair like chopsticks, she sheathed the other two in the straps wrapped around her legs from the sandals. The doru she just hefted and sent winging at a Tzu who was about to swing at Foe's head while he talked with Kelk's pets, hopefully giving him enough time to get his head back on the fight where it belonged.

    Carefully, Apollo stepped around the ink, talking to it like the Tzu was still there, "You were saying something about chopping of my head? Talk about premature articulation... See you when you re-form, I have a few of your sisters to destroy now..."

  6. "Oh shit..." Apollo whispered softly. Tapping Bronxie's arm, she pulled her away from where she was happily snuggled on the chainmaille lap, "Something just happened, someone died."

    Tossing a glance back at where the men were still waiting for them, Bronx sighed, "And here I was just starting to enjoy my vacation! Better not have been a damn Sue, I swear I will rend her limb from limb before dismantling her into miniscule pieces and sending her back to her maker in a thousand different boxes!"

    "Not sure about the Sue part. I know it wasn't one of our crew and I don't think it was a Sue. Shall we say good bye to the boys?" Walking back to the men, she explained that while it had been fun that they had to go and perhaps they could complete this lovely rendezvous later. Phone numbers were exchanged and promises were made, but both she and Bronx knew that this likely would be the last they saw of the handsome men. Some other Con-goer would snap them up in a heartbeat.

    With one last grope Bronx and her were on their way. "It was over in the Hyatt near the Artist Alley, which is the next hotel up from here." Apollo scanned the crowds, "With this traffic though, I don't think we'll make it before too many people notice for us to do anything."

    Pulling Bronx into a shadowed alcove, she transported them quickly into the shadows near the scene and pointed out the crowd. "I hate the transport, but there's already a crowd gathering."

    The women listened to the murmurs running through the place and were able to determine in no time that a young girl had her heart ripped out and the woman who did it just waltzed off. "Oh sweet fuck..." Bronx grumbled, "Don't people know how to clean up after themselves?"

    "Apparently not."

    "Can you hide the situation if I brazen it out?"

    Apollo nodded, "I'll follow your lead, just let me know what to do."

    With a twitch of her hips, Bronx walked from the shadows, projecting her voice again to be heard above the crowd, "Ain't that just realistic folks? We've been working on that one all year as a special treat for Con-goers!" The crowed parted to let them pass as she continued, "Welcome to just an example of our special effects demonstration that we will be holding in the Grand Ballroom at 9pm!"

    Once they got close enough, Apollo projected an image of the girl taking her hand and getting up to smile and wave at the crowds. People started to press in around them again, but Bronx continued, "No questions please, they will all be answered tonight! We'll see you in the Ballroom tonight!"

    As Bronx ran interference, Apollo sent the body back to Cal, knowing she would never hear the end of it when they got back on board, but what other choice did she really have? She couldn't just leave a body laying around. Keeping the image up, she contacted Cal, "I know, I know, your pissed, I gave you a body, blah blah blah... But can you do a quick scan and see if anything is out of the ordinary?"

    "You are a bossy little thing, aren't you? What happened to having Foe ask me to do things?" Cal rejoined through the earpiece.

    "Cal..."

    "I'm doing it, I'm doing it." A few seconds later, he returned, "Nothing supernatural and definitely not a Sue, but she is covered to hell and back with pheromones. Undetectable to the human nose, but sure would have caused a reaction."

    "Thanks. If you could, see if you can find out who she was and find someway to have her discovered with out it looking like a murder?" Apollo asked.

    "And I'll make it snow in hell too," Cal replied sarcastically.

    Apollo rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see and broke the connection, "You heard?"

    "Yea, now I know why my nose was so damn twitchy when she was around. Musta been for men though cause I didn't feel anything, you?"

    "Nada"

    "There was magic involved though, that much I can tell you." Bronx stated. "I think I got a lead on 'em though."

    Following Bronx, they went up the escalators to the main level. Through the crowds Bronx pointed, "There, the one with the tail and ears and her friend in red and black."

    As the two women trailed the others, Apollo realized that in fact they were trailing Foe and Kelk, "So let me get this straight, these women killed someone, left the body and now they are following after our group? Oh hell no...."

    Bronx opened the channel up to Foe, "Hey darling, is there a room or something near by you can duck into?"

    "Not here at the Hyatt on this level, why?" came the puzzled response.

    "Cause you've got a rather nasty tail that appears to be the reason Cal is holding onto a non Sue dead body... They are behind you and we are being them."

    Foe shifted course, heading instead for the International Tower and going back down the escalator. "Got it."

    Keeping a distance, Apollo and Bronx moved in sync with the other duo. Thank goodness they were between panels down there.

    Foe, Kelk and their companions slipped inside the empty ballroom, only to have their tail walk right inside. By the time Apollo and Bronx caught up, Foe and Kelk each had a woman pinned to the wall with an arm to the throat and a blade to their stomachs.

    "They aren't Sues," Foe said with certainty.

    Bronx sniffed delicately, "No, they aren't, but this one," she pointed to the one in red and black, "is the one that killed the woman we found."

  7. Tsutsuji,

    1. If you read the FAQ on the topic that was clearly posted in the news which is posted to the forum, the archive, emailed to all forum users, posted on Twitter as well as our Facebook page, right at the top of the FAQ there is in bold letters a Please Note that states if your password is less than 8 characters you must reset it and links to the password reset.

    2. You only need one validation email on the new Archive, very similar to 90% of webpages where you create a log in. Yes, when you initially register for a forum account, that needs one two, but they are two separate systems.

    3. The FAQ's are hosted here as opposed to the site because the forums preform better bandwidth-wise as well as sizeise.

    4. You did not have to come here for help. You could have contact us via email or IM if you would prefer. Our contact information is listed in the Archive for everyone.

    5. Yes, initially it does require a few steps, but for better security both for user accounts and the data - Again, small price to pay for a free service. Just think - You're done now, you won't have to do it again. As for the bank comment? My bank requires user name and state on the first page, then password on the 2nd, so long as the cookie is still in place - Heaven forbid that I cleared cookies or use a new device, cause then I have to remember the answers to my security question... etc etc... I like ours better!

  8. It's how things display.

    On the old profiles, there was no uniformity, so we couldn't transfer that data over to the new profile. You can still view (but not edit, it is now static) your old profile by going to any old profile link. Ex: original.adult-fanfiction.org/authors.php?no=000111333 (Last set of numbers would be replaced by yours or the authors ID number) and see the rec readings listed there. But they will not transfer over to the profile located at members.adult-fanfiction.org

  9. So please note that this is not going to happen, I'm posting this more out of curiosity.

    As hopefully you are aware of by now, stories showing as a wall of text or one big paragraph is a known issue. DemonGoddess is working to correct the affected chapters one at a time, scanning the over 467,000+ chapters we have on site. Now of course, users can also correct it on their own stories with out waiting for DG.

    My very tongue in cheek comment on this - We upgraded the code to avoid a huge crash that was going to happen at some very near time in the future because of how duck taped/MacGyver'd the whole old code was. Yes, some stories broke. In my opinion, taking the time out to fix them is a very small price to pay considering that this site is free to use and donations are optional.

    Now - That being said:

    IF we offered to make your stories a priority in the fix for a $100 donation to the site, would you do it? What about $50? $25? $10?

    What is it worth to a user to not have to take a little bit of time, go into the story and hit return a couple dozen times (depending on your story length)?

    Again, please note we are NOT doing this, I'm posting this out of curiosity only...
