No problem, then. I wasn’t sure, because if it was a search, I could have moved it for you.

What was the fandom?

We really discourage the requesting of copies of stories here on the AFF forums. While I know you intend to ask the author, it would be very awkward should any readers reply and offer copies, since I’d have to hide those posts.

Is this a story request, or are you looking for an existing story?

::squeaks in glee:: Oh, I think you’ll enjoy this one. Lots of naughtiness, lots of things to come.

Thank you kindly. I’m still avoiding all things pumpkin spice, so I thought I’d try and harpoon it in a tale.

Okay, details… Title: Pumpkin Spice Summary: There’s nothing like autumn in New York City, unless you happen to be sitting in a coffee shop and the Otherworld is ringing the dinner bell...

I’m glad Melrick had the answer!

I don’t use Firefox, but in Chrome, I go to the settings dropdown on the menu bar, select “More Tools” and from there, “Encoding.” Firefox shouldn’t be much different, I think. Edit: Could it be under the View menu? In the dropdown below, it used to say Character encoding, and you could then select the proper encoding.

Hi! I’ll quote from our latest site news: This will fix it for you, and make all those symbols disappear, until DemonGoddess061 is done with the conversions.

Count me in, with details to follow!

Is this you? I’m seeing one story posted: Revenge. Can you give me the name of the other story, so I can check to see if there was an issue?

This is a response to a challenge request. It may not be a story you care to read, and in fact, it’s not even written. If it doesn’t appeal to you, just don’t read it, but your post is really not appropriate unless you are the original issuer of the challenge.

Just because it seems to need repeating, AFF does not permit hard copies of stories to be requested or offered. If a story was removed by the author, please respect their wishes.

Thank you, most profoundly.

To be honest, I’m not sure if that’s something our coding permits, even with the recent changes. It’s something many of our members would like to see, and we’re well aware of that.

Please, do NOT post graphic images in the forums. Thanks ever so much.

It appears the member has removed all stories from the site. All I can say for certain is that the staff did not delete any stories written by this member.

::pets:: All the best people are.

You are definitely our kind of crazy!

Welcome to AFF! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We’re slightly mad but largely friendly.

From our latest news post:

We’re actually very happy to have authors interact with readers. We just don’t want it happening on the review boards of the archive, when we have forum threads for this very purpose. Forum registration, like archive registration, requires validation. Either the admins have not processed your registration yet, or you haven’t responded to the validation email. I will say that one of the things that can delay a registration is incomplete information, like not including your archive url. I can’t check that if you’re logged in as a guest. If you’d posted from the forum account you created, I could check for you. If you have any questions as a new member, please ask. We’re always happy to answer.

Okay, I’m done here. I am hiding the flame-baiting responses, and locking this thread. TheDogSage, I approached you via email to see if we could settle this down, because we actually have something called Terms of Service here at AFF. Really. And even more astonishing, we expect our members to comply with it. So, for all the challenged out there, which apparently includes you, let me quote it: “You agree to conduct yourself in a responsible, mature manner on the site. This means that you will remain polite and respectful to all users, staff, admins and owners and will not 'flame' other users.” Now I’m not sure how much clearer this could be, and I expect everyone involved, starting with the author of the story and including anyone who wishes to review it, whether from their AFF profile or not, to act like the adults you are all supposed to be. There will be no flame-baiting on the forums, and I am going to ask my admin to clean the review board. Further instances will result in the story being hidden for violating the Terms of Service, to wit, encouraging a flame war on the boards. We may not censor content, but we will enforce the site’s Terms of Service.
