  1. As I recall, the word “snuff” was included in at least two of the story summaries for the stories I removed. Were it not for the larger issue of fan fiction for profit, I’d have merely hidden the other four and asked that the warnings be made clearer if I did not think the current tags were sufficient. After 6 years moderating for AFF, I’ve been sandbagged by more than enough unexpected content to be well able to know when tags need to be added. I read things every week I’d not read by choice, but I do it because I value what AFF stands for in terms of artistic freedom. And yes, we try very hard to make sure trigger issues are labelled, but the answer isn’t always simple. For example, I do not consider the Shota or Loli tags an acceptable substitute for Minor1 or Minor2. They are not clearly defined by age ranges, and are anime-specific. Similarly, Noncon is never a substitute for Rape as far as I’m concerned, and I will not accept Noncon in place of the Rape tag. We actually don’t have much snuff fiction here, and while we all might have varying ideas of what constitutes Contro content, we have a clear label for BDSM as well as for SandM. I’m not sure how specific you want Torture to be defined, but I’d strongly suggest having to add tags for every possible act of torture ever conceived of by the human race would be exhaustive to create and not terribly useful. Despite a personal fondness for the Wicker Man, I can’t imagine Ritual Immolation would be a frequent tag choice. Similarly, I would not recommend free-for-all tagging such as I’ve seen elsewhere. It would completely negate any ability to search by tags, a feature we’ve recently been able to expand, and one which has been requested for quite some time. But in this particular instance, we were asked to review newly posted material because of unlabeled content. A larger issue was revealed, which resulted in the stories being removed from the site, and which disappointed other readers. The long and short of it is that we’re not going to please all the people all the time, and in this case, I’m not sure anyone came away happy.
  2. I only removed the six new postings from this week, which had the link to his Patreon. The rest of the stories were fine, and I left them in place. So, I can only surmise DeathStalker removed them. JD, snuff has never actually required a tag of its own, since MCD, Contro, and if necessary Violence more than cover it. So you were right. And DeathStalker is a wonderful writer, even if the content is sometimes not to everyone’s taste. I’m just not eager to see the site closed down for condoning copyright infringement.
  3. Yes, the query run to move the tags did truncate some. Our coder is correcting those, or at least some of those, at present, and we mods will tackle them as we run across them as well.
  4. If you read our Terms of Service, you will see the following: Further, the very nature of fan fiction involves the use of material whose copyright is not owned by you. In order for that material to be covered under the Fair Use provisions of US copyright law, you cannot make any form of monetary profit from that fan fiction, which includes soliciting donations to a Patreon account. You can read that here: The site can face grave legal consequences if we permit for-profit commissioned fan fiction to be posted here. That affects every member, and while you might have seen one person report this, please understand we investigate every report and base our actions on that investigation. In this case, it had nothing to do with the content. If the stories involved snuff and were clearly labelled, there would be no issue. However, accepting money for work based on a copyright you don’t own is illegal, and is not allowed here. You may note none of the stories removed were original works, and no story was removed unless it contained a link to the Patreon account and a statement that it was a commissioned work.
  5. Melrick, I think these are perfect for the “Unofficial Guides” section. Honestly, I love these!
  6. Fan fiction written for paid commission is not permitted on the site at all. The stories have been removed.
  7. It had better have coffee, at least!
  8. Rant away. Honestly, the fanpoodle troll just reveals new levels of ignorance, which will remain uncorrected since I’m not going to dignify their drivel with a response. Suffice to say, they’ve never handled an actual bullwhip.
  9. There could be something like the Stargate technology, where the receiver for the transport beam was left behind on Earth. It might not even resemble anything we’d associate with transport. Perhaps it’s a flat stone with peculiar glyphs, which are needed by the shipside end of the beam as a cosmic QR code, if you will.
  10. The troll isn’t even registered on AO3, and it certainly feels like they’re just stirring up trouble for enjoyment. I think ignoring them completely is the best course of action, really. The original troll is a college student with more ambition than intelligence, and the grammar skills of a 5th grader, who’s wondering why he doesn’t get adoration for his present-day AUs containing LotR characters who are so out of character as to be unrecognizable. This is our future, may the gods be good and take them quickly.
  11. I actually have to side with Des on this. Report it, repeatedly if necessary, and if they continue, report the new content. Don’t let up until you get a response from the site. But if you respond on their comments, it will only incite them.
  12. Links for above: What a Witch Needs by Petalsoft
  13. ::snerk:: I’m not even celebrating birthdays in years any more. I do decades, which is curiously liberating, actually.
  14. Mine is: “Find a publisher who isn’t going to go belly-up.” Oh, and lose 25 pounds, because my body dysmorphia is playing up again.
  15. You had your hands full on this subdomain, really.
  16. Chapters are truncated. Story Profile
  17. Email me with the correct email address and password, please. I’ll ask DG to verify that what we have matches. I just don’t like putting member emails out here in an open forum, so drop me an email at tos_team@adult-fanfiction. org to keep your data private.
  18. The newer account was the account specified for the surviving account after the merge. I have this: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296894525 DG reset the membership date to the older date, but the email and password would be the same as the newer account.
  19. From my family to your, the brightest blessings of this holiday season, and all the best in 2017!

      I did most of the cooking last night. The lasagne is prepared and only needs baking (2 pans of it), and the filling for the steak, mushroom, and onion pie is done. All I need to do is prepare the pie crusts, fill, and bake. I have Italian bread, salad, and lots of nibbly things, as well as a case of wine, hard cider, Guinness, beer, and Campari. The place is mostly tidy, and I’m ready! :D

  21. Try opening your browser settings. Clear your cache and cookies for AFF, make sure you have third party cookies enabled, and then clear your browsing history. Close the browser all the way, so that the data clears properly. Then restart your browser and see if you are able to comment again.
  22. Can you be more specific about what’s happening? For example, when you click the review button, do you get a new window with a little Rich Text Editor box, and a recaptcha at the bottom? Or is it an issue with the recaptcha? The more information you can give, the quicker we can identify the problem and solve it.
  23. You have to actually share a Google Doc with someone deliberately. You can invite them to edit, or share with them by naming them when you click the blue “Share” button in the corner. So, unless you’ve opened up the document, it remains private.
  24. Okay, so… Subdomain: Anime Category: Yuri!!! On Ice Do you have a story for it? Yes/No
