Hi, I've written this one up for my admin, and we'll deal with her, again. I'm very sorry that she's making a habit of this.

We would ask you to refrain from redirecting our users to an archive which does not ask permission of the authors of the stories it hosts.

tos=Terms of Service, otherwise known as the site's rules, to which you agreed when you made an account. As far as how to post, I answered that elsewhere. If you'd stop making multiple threads, it would be easier to find answers.

Hi, I'm actually not a troll. I'm an archive moderator for AFF, so the review board message and email I sent would be an official notification. You're missing required story codes. Our readers are a varied bunch, and we ask that authors include story codes based on our list of codes. You can find that here, or use the dropdown list when you initially post the story. If story codes are missing, we hear about it from readers, and so, when we do our weekly sweep of the archive, we check for anything that requires tagging. Your story needs these tags: Fingering; HJ; Oral. It may need more tags as the story goes on, and my recommendation is that you add whatever you think you'll need from our list up front. You'll need to add those manually now, since the dropdown isn't available once the story is posted. The email had directions on how to do that. Thanks!

Ensure you are logged in and the following is in the top right corner, Click "My Control Panel" Determine where your story goes and find the correct sub-domain on the left hand side of the screen (e.g. Anime, Original, Harry Potter, etc) Click "Story Manager" (where story manager is labeled with the subdomain name) from left hand side of page Click "Post New Story" at the top of the page Fill in the appropriate fields in the "Add Story" page Add your first chapter in the rich text editor window Enter in the recaptcha shown and click "Post New Story" At this point you can either type in your story and use the RTE to add bold, italics, and other formatting options or you can use the paste options. If you are pasting from a word processing program such as Word, Open Office, etc you would use the Paste From Word. Otherwise, use the "paste from clipboard". The paste from word icon is the clipboard on the right, the paste from clipboard icon is the clipboard on the left. The MIDDLE icon is paste as plain text. You don't want to do that. It will then show you where your story is located!

Thank you, and something like that is fine, of course. In this case, however, the author took down all their work everywhere on the Internet. Any copies out there are unauthorized by the author, and we take a pretty dim view of things like that.

Describe to me exactly what you are doing when you log in. Be very specific, because you have been emailing and posting, and obviously, either you're not explaining the problem, or you're not following the instructions DemonGoddess061 has given you. So, are you using the upper right hand fields, and not the center fields? Are you entering the correct email address in the first field? Are you entering the correct password in the second field? (It should have at least 8 letters and/or numbers, and it is case sensitive. No special characters are allowed.) If you reset your password, did you use the same password to reset it? If yes, you blanked the field and need to reset again. Use a new password. If you reset your password and used a new password that was 8 or more letters and/or numbers, did you click the link in the verification email? What is the exact error message you are getting? As you can see, there's lots of places this can go wrong, so without more information, we can't help.

Personally, it's not okay to suggest others Google for copies of downed stories to be downloaded. For all you know, the author took all online work down because they have a publishing contract which requires removal of those stories. Maybe it's for another reason, and passing around downloads can cause them trouble. It's a lousy way to repay an author whose work you enjoyed, in my opinion.

Oraldeviant removed all stories from everywhere on the Internet. No reason was given that I'm aware of, sorry!

Hi, Your story actually belongs in the Celebrity Fiction subdomain, since it's about a celebrity. We delete stories posted in the wrong subdomain, but you're of course more than welcome to post it to the correct subdomain. Just a quick note about Celebrity Fiction. That subdomain takes a fairly unique disclaimer, since we're dealing with actual people, who have actual lawyers, not to mention friends and family who might happen upon stories posted here. We ask that you include three elements: State that it's a work of fiction; Say that you do not know this person, and use their name, please (ie, I do not know Taylor Swift); and Say that you make no profit/money. These elements are all very important, and if you don't include them all, we leave you a a notice on your review board about the missing parts.

As a reader, I don't use ratings to identify a good read. They're entirely subjective, and don't tell me anything about the story. I look at the summary, and if that catches my eye but doesn't entirely sell me, I look at reviews. I've seen FAR too many stories with huge numbers of 5-star ratings that were written without regard to spelling, punctuation, or the basic rules of grammar. I'm not trying to be overly stuffy, but I get distracted by a high level of errors, and it takes me out of the story to the point where I lose interest. As a writer, ratings don't help me improve. If they're high, I have no idea what people liked most. If they're low, I have no idea what needs to be improved. They serve no purpose for me other than to make me wonder what readers actually thought about the story, but weren't willing to say. Given that I can second-guess myself into a state of literary paralysis all on my own, I don't really need any more encouragement to be afraid to post anything.

Hooray! More reading!

It's actually not wasting our time to ask. We prefer to deal with questions like this in advance, rather than have to sort it out afterward. You can of course do anything you wish privately, but once the request is made on our forums, we can't pretend to know nothing should any of the real people the story is based on changes their mind about allowing it. Granted, these are real people over 18, but we still need to have a definite yes, in the form of permission in writing, from each individual before it could be posted. That would apply no matter who wrote it, since the characters are still based on those real people.

Actually, even that wouldn't be enough, if the plot was still somewhat the same. Unless the plot is a common trope, we do look at that as well. And frankly, if you need to change 99.9% of it, just write a new story and have done with it, right? The long and short is that unless the author returns and puts the story up for adoption, this is a dead issue.

Trust me, if someone does a rewrite, we'll hear about it, and we'll remove the rewrite, and possibly the author, for plagiarism. We take a very dim view of plagiarism, and just because someone hasn't updated in a while doesn't mean their hard work is up for grabs. And just because no one seems to actually read the Terms of Service, I'll quote it for you: You understand that when posting User Submissions, you are stating that any work submitted under your User Account is your own personal work and has not been in any part copied or plagiarized from any source. Furthermore, you understand that you are not to post anyone else's work without the express permission of the original copyright holder unless said work is part of Public Domain. You agree that when posting User Submissions that you will adhere to all content guidelines as outlined here:http://www.adult-fanfiction.org/guidelines.php and that any violation of these guidelines can result in submissions being hidden or deleted.

Melrick's leading you on. It's more like 75/25 in favor of the wildlife killing you.

Top ten by what parameter? I actually can't think of a way to search the archive for a top ten list, by hits or ratings. This may have been a feature before I joined, however, so perhaps staff with more longevity will recall that.

Yeah, let's make that a double helping of nope.

And there's a whole world of nope, right there. Can I tell you how fast I'd be selling that house?

Posting this for when we get there: http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=544206163 http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600000109

We actually do not permit anyone to post work that isn't theirs, and we delete any cases we find in the archive. Lady Lynn's profile is here. The story "Sometimes It's Good to be Bad" is here.
