I don’t believe it does. It’s just opening the story that does it.

They’re individual hits, each time the story is accessed. So, if I come back to a story daily, every visit counts as a new dragon print.

Angst: If it’s just a brief scene, it isn’t necessary. It’s for those stories that are non-stop angst, really, or where entire chapters are devoted to it. HC, Hurt/Comfort, again, if it’s just a small amount, it’s not a required tag.If it’s the predominant theme, yes, we need it. Herm applies to characters with dual genitalia. Futanari (dickgirls) is a specific trope, and doesn’t quite cover the actual medical condition. Hum. Humanoid: I wouldn’t insist on this for elves, actually, but definitely for orcs, trolls, and bugbears. Spank is generally used in relation to sexual gratification, but it’s not meant for use if a character spanks a naughty child, unless the character doing the spanking is getting off. It’s often found in conjunction with Ds or Ms, when those don’t quite reach BDSM levels. On the whole, we try to be reasonable in our tagging requirements. We’re always happy to let you know if a tag is required, and you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org, or PM me.

I’m quite sure Glorfindel will be over his head with that pair, no matter how well trained!

Because it apparently escaped notice, let me restate what heads up each search thread on the forum: “ If you know the piece of fiction that someone is searching for is removed from the site, but you retained a personal copy, please do not pass the story around. If the story is taken down either by the Author or Moderator staff there is a reason behind it that must be respected. ” Please refrain from offering to share saved copies of works removed from the site.

Oh, you are a wicked tease! But I know you won’t keep me waiting too long!

Isn’t that the best part? The Noldor were not so very peaceful and civilized then, were they? Quite the difference from Elrond.

Ah, Des… you know we’re sticklers for that! But it’s really better to err on the side of caution. I’ve tagged for rape when it’s been no more than an offstage event garnering a brief mention in dialogue. Better safe that sorry when it comes to the more fraught tags.

Most of the folk I know who are Asatru don’t get too wound up about the Marvel version of their gods. I honor them, of course, like a good little pagan, but Thor isn’t one of my go-to gods (although Loki, well… if he really looked like Tom Hiddleston, I might be seriously tempted...).

One thing we’ve thought about, but haven’t implemented, could be something like a “like” button, or the kudo feature on AO3. The only option is to leave a positive nod, eliminating the spite downvotes we dealt with in the old system. To be very honest, ratings tend to be so subjective, they can’t be relied on as a marker of quality. We had stories rated 5 here which were not very well written, not beta-read, and formatted dreadfully, BUT they were for a pairing that was popular, or contained a trope that was beloved of the fandom. Seeing a bunch of positive indicators for a story could be as subjective, and would indicate nothing more than readers liked it for whatever reason, but it would at least give shy readers a way to comment/review/feed the author. As unlikely as it sounds, when I first found AFF, I was very nervous about leaving reviews, given the passion of some of the other reviewers in the fandoms I was reading. (Obviously, I got better. )

It might be one of Keith’s stories.

That’s what the forums are for. We can let it out, talk about an idea, hash out a sticky plot point, whatever we need. We’re all banging our heads on the same brick walls, and mine has a pretty deep dent right now. But it’s getting better as I remind myself NaNo is over, and I can edit as I write again.

This is definitely the right place. I will say, while I find AFF to be an incredibly supportive place in terms of being able to talk to other writers (and readers, too!) here on the forums, there isn’t a lot of review feedback outside the more popular fandoms. I imagine if I decided to write for Harry Potter, or Naruto, or one of the many anime fandoms, I’d probably get more reviews, but you know, those just aren’t my thing. I like my bit of original stuff, my game fandoms, and the LotR collaboration I have with pippychick. But I do get the lack of motivation thing. Between one thing and another, finishing NaNoWriMo this year was like pulling teeth. I did it, but it was probably the hardest one yet. But it will get better after the holidays, when I can find more time to write again. (And when my muse, who bears a startling resemblance to a Pembroke Welsh corgi, stops demanding attention every time she hears my keyboard.)

Honestly, he’s a terrific writer. I’m hoping he’s publishing somewhere, and if so, I’d love to know! I’d buy his books in a heartbeat!

This post might help.

That is the best news!!! I am so happy for you all, and I would hug you all if I was there!

Even if there was a pdf somewhere, the author chose to remove the story. There are a great many reasons why authors remove stories themselves, and we here at AFF respect the choices made by our authors, including the choice to remove their work from public distribution.

*huggles dogs* Freyja saw her vet today as well. She’s doing great, and we had blood work done to check her phenobarbital levels since we increased the dosage. But otherwise, she is a happy, healthy young thing, and much loved by all the techs. And if you throw Erestor in as well, I shall have to come and visit you to hug you in person!

I was so hoping that was where your pensive thought about a Legolas/Elladan/Elrohir was going. I really do adore you, and want to wrap you up in a safe and cosy bubble so you can write to your heart’s content… :hug;

If an author has removed a story, we ask that you do not post links to anywhere it has been posted without the author’s express knowledge and consent. There are many reasons authors remove stories, and it is our position at AFF to respect their wishes.
