Yep. How can i tell if i’m already verified?
If you received our email with the links, and you were able to successfully validate, you would have gotten a message saying that you had validated, and you then would have been able to reset your password. I did go and look in my database, and I show you as validated, with a reset password. If you hadn’t validated, I would see an unused link or an unused password reset link.
As far as telling if you’re logged in, the fastest way is to look at the upper right corner of the archive home page. If it has a LOGOUT link, you’re logged in. You can also click the three bars on the upper left corner of that home page, and the dropdown menu will have your pen name at the top, with either a logout link under the edit profile link, or it will have the fields to enter your email address and password, and a link to click to log in.

It’s doing it again. No matter what I do, I cannot manage to login. I don’t recall seeing the email.
I’m showing you as fully validated and registered, with a completed password reset. When you open the archive home page, does it show you as logged in already?

I am the poster child for “Are you incapable of completing a story?”
I have 2 co-written WIPs here on AFF, 2 more WIPS on AFF that are all my fault, and something like 4 WIPS that may or may not end up here, depending on whether or not I get laughed out the door at my publishers.
I do have quite a few one-shots and a couple of completed stories, so I’m capable of finishing things. I just… don’t?

This might be a bigger problem. I tried the link you sent me and I had the same problem. What these people are saying is consistent with what I am having trouble with as well.
I’m going to email you with a possible solution.

and I never got a e-mail from this site in the past month soooo no heads up about any login update too
I’m going to need your pen name, or your User ID number to find your account so I can send you the links to activate your account.

Okay, thanks.
Also, something I noticed recently that I seem to have forgotten my password for the archive. But when I asked for a reset email, it immediately expired.I sent a new link via email that should work for you.

Also known as republicans?
Well, now, I’ve found most of the local republicans are lovely people when you have them for tea, with a little watercress, on very thinly sliced sourdough bread delicately smeared with hand-churned sweet butter from local cows.
(Democrats are best on artisan bagels, with a smear of cream cheese and some very thinly sliced red onion. I can’t say I recommend libertarians at all—they’re always that little bit sour no matter what you do, although independents appeal to the white bread set since they tend to be rather bland.)

I have never personally encountered any headless people at all in Sleepy Hollow, but yes, when you come and visit again, we’ll go there. It’s a lovely little town, actually!

From BronxWench on February 15, 2023
Re: “Horseman”
I don’t know terribly much about sororities or secret societies myself, but my wife went to an all-women’s college that was a lot like a giant sorority. Her school was used in my mental model of Mount Pleasant College.
FYI, the town of Mount Pleasant, NY is the home of the village of Sleepy Hollow.
*chuckle* I went with the vegetable motif in part because I figured no one would see it coming.
Thank you!
You’re a class act, BW.
I actually live fairly near to Sleepy Hollow and Mount Pleasant, so I do know the area.

For me, inspiration comes from the strangest of places, and that can indeed include something I’ve read.
The key, though, is the definition of plagiarism. The Grammarly blog has a good post about plagiarism: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/types-of-plagiarism/ The thing to keep in mind is that there are common tropes shared by many stories and novels, and certain genres of writing tend to follow a very similar pattern (such as mysteries, or horror fiction). So, just deciding that you really liked that pairing, and want to write something yourself in that fandom for that pairing doesn’t constitute plagiarism. If you put that pairing in the exact same scenario, with the same events, then you’re crossing the line.

My question would be what sort of weaponry X is being trained to use along with the special abilities. If the guardian spirit is piggybacking on X, then learning the cues from the spirit isn’t going to take as long as learning how to fight with a bladed weapon with reasonable proficiency. Learning to use a projectile weapon is faster since it doesn’t require building both skill and muscle memory.
As far as physical conditioning, if the training is daily and intense, X might make it to badass in under 300 days given X is starting out as fit and healthy. Kickboxing and daily runs implies a seriously good foundation to build on.

Hi, I was ill during first part of February and haven’t been able to deal with the account changes. When I have tried the urls in the mail none of them are valid any longer. Can you please help me?

I have several members with a pen name of JadeHeart. I don’t want you to post your email address here on a public forum, but if you can tell me the email client (like gmail, for example), it would help me identify the correct account. Then I’ll be able to send you links that should work.

Hi again, BronxWench.
Something I should have mentioned in my last post but didn’t was that the italics text attribute is not stripped from the reader’s view, even though boldface is. Go figure.
Thanks.
Even more reason to have manta take a look. We knew there would be little wrinkles to iron out.

Hi, @manta2gand @BronxWench.
I’ve just confirmed that at least the boldface text attribute does not carry through on the archives. Text set to bold stays set as bold, and if saved will remain bold if you come back later to edit the page again. However, the boldface does not display to the reader.
Thanks.
Hopefully, @manta2g can shed light on why the archive is not displaying attributes from the RTE.

Until we’re fully back up, with every function restored, I won’t be hiding stories.

What is your archive pen name, or user ID?

I haven’t gotten mine. I’m glad I didn’t click on the email that I thought it might be – probably some phishing email!
I’ve just emailed new links to you. This email should come from tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org

For Transgression from InvidiaRed:
QuoteAh.
You defintely turned the honor a thousand fold.
I do feel like there might have been a wee bit of overreaction here. To give a fragile thing something you denied your other creations is a recipe for tragedy. When they are sapient things full of curiousity but not malice. This is exactly how a Fall starts.
For said punishment is a little too excessive mean spirited even.
And who’s to say this isn’t how a Fall does start? (Which is what I get for arguing theology with Jesuits in my youth
)
Gods are rarely benevolent. We just want them to be that way, to like us and tell us we’re their favorite creation. We forget that we probably aren’t the first, and most likely won’t be the last, and perhaps one day, it will be us fragile mortals looking askance at Creation 3.02 or some such thing. And when we fall, our gods will treat us just as harshly. We’ll get our noses smacked with a newspaper, or rubbed in our own mess, even if that’s never the way to teach a lesson.
Now me? I know my gods don’t give a damn what I do or think. I’m the one who needs them. It makes it much simpler all around.

The function might still be disabled. There are a few functions that remain disabled while @manta2g finishes securing the site against more hacks. Bear with us while she finishes up all the last odds and ends.
I do apologize, but we’re determined not to put our members through another lockdown of the archive if we can help it.
