Courtesy of the brilliant and extraordinary Dafdes: Dear God, grant me the serenity to accept those things that are not TOS violations, the courage to read through fiction that probably has missing tags somewhere, and the wisdom to know I'm here because I write shocking and socially unacceptable pornography too.

someonenotme removed all her stories from the Internet.

Hi! Yes, you can create the rewrite version. Just label it as such, either a bracketed mention in the summary, or in the title itself. As long as we know it's a rewrite, we don't treat it as a duplicate story. Update the new version, and when you've finished rewriting the chapters, let us know so we can merge the hit count data and reviews from the old version to the new version. They won't overwrite any of the new reviews, so you keep old and new, and the count data should be combined, as I understand it. That's been my experience, anyway. Thanks!

It's my understanding that some form of ratings system is in the works, although it will not be the same as it was in the past, to prevent the abuses we've seen with a truly anonymous system. I don't know the timing, however.

I'm very glad! Happy writing!

The only thing I can think of is that you might not have been logged in, or perhaps there's a corrupted cookie string. Let's try this. Clear your cache and AFF cookies, after you log out of AFF. Close your browser entirely, restart it, and then log in to AFF. This should reset the cookies, and hopefully clear any problems. Just make sure you log in using the upper right hand fields, and not the center fields.

What did you use to write the chapter?

What method are you using to paste to the window? For most word processors, we recommend using the little clipboard icon with the W (for Word). It works well for Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Open Office and Libre Office. It's the clipboard icon on the right. You can also use the clipboard icon to the left, which is just Paste. Don't use the center icon unless you want to reformat everything.

DA, my sweet pixie queen, you never do anything accidentally...

If you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org with a working email address, we can get that changed for you in the database.

At the top of the thread, in the right hand corner just above the first post, will be a link marked "Follow This Topic." Click that and follow the directions to get notified of new replies to the thread. You may need to enable the email notifications in your forum profile settings, however.

It can't be re-entered into the database. The database no longer allows for pen names to be associated with reviews left by users who are not logged in. Readers will either need to log in, so that the review will show their archive pen name, or the reviews will be labelled ANON. If a user left a review with their AFF archive pen name, under the old code, it displayed that pen name whether or not the user was logged in so long as the user input that pen name into the field. If the user was not logged in, it would also display the email address of the reviewer. This is something that many users found problematic, as a Google search by a prospective employer would turn up AFF reviews, for example. Removing those email addresses needed to be done directly in the database, and only DemonGoddess061 has direct database access, for obvious reasons of preserving integrity of the database. When real life keeps her busy, it could take weeks for those email addresses to be redacted. In the meantime, those reviews would pop up in Google, and cause issues for the person who'd left the review. Under the updated code, anyone not logged in need not worry about an email address being displayed, and therefore becoming searchable. Logged-in reviewers have never had an issue with their email being made searchable. We believe this serves the best interests of the majority of our members.

It would be helpful if you could provide links to the story where reviewers have disappeared. Has there been an actual diminution in the number of reviews, or is it the pen names that have vanished?

Previously, reviewers who were not logged in could set a temporary name for the reviews, which in most cases was the same as their pen name used in the archive. This is no longer possible, and anyone who left a review, or leaves a review in future while not logged in will appear as ANON.

Could you be a bit more specific?

It's very interesting! I enjoyed taking the survey!

Actually, that could work very well. Italics can signal any number of things, as defined by the author. I use them for flashbacks, to good effect, but by opening with a talk-to-the-reader moment, you can define italics for those conversations.

For Masking Intentions: Thank you! I'm glad I could be a small ray of balance in a rather dreadful week. You're right. It's never been a particularly warm and fuzzy world, and they are all very much products of their society, with all its darkness. The sprog is just more assured of his place than Kdis, or at least he wants to appear so. I always love how you pick up on the smallest details. I think those are the most fun to write, and I'm delighted when they work for the story as a larger whole. And talk about a tease... now I'll be having fond thoughts of interrogations for days. Hopefully inspiration to get back to my writing! But thank you again - your reviews are always a treat for me!

For Masking Intentions: Thank you! Yes, the sprog is quite the evil little shit, and he's just getting warmed up. I'm not sure how well I'd do in a world where assassins hold the moral high ground, and the ruling cadre relies on backstabbing and fear, but I think Kdis can hold his own, at least most of the time. You're right in thinking the sprog has no choice but to be what he is. He's already had one member of the Crown offer to kill him, and even Kdis isn't sure why the Stag is trying to protect this one sprog, among the many that fill the Palace. For his part, the sprog is bitter, and angry, and understandably so. He knows better than to offer blind trust, but so far, Kdis is earning a bit of trust. Thank you for reading, and for reviewing!

And you've cleared cookies, just to eliminate that as a cause?

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!
