I’ve moved this post to a more appropriate thread. Now to the question. The first thing is to identify the best websites for your content. For example, certain sites have content restrictions. Here on AFF, our Terms of Service and Content Guidelines are pretty clear, and spell out what we do and don’t allow. But if a site doesn’t allow, for example, fiction based on actual persons or celebrities, posting a story about a real person or celebrity isn’t going to go over well. Once you’ve figured out what site or sites best suit your content, you need to make sure your story is going to attract readers and hold their attention. If you are able to post a summary, make it catchy. Spend a bit of time reading book summaries and blurbs to see what the professionals do. PROOFREAD AND FORMAT your story. Nothing is a bigger turn-off than typos, misused words, missing punctuation, poor grammar (unless it’s required for a piece of dialogue), and walls of text. I’ve put down published books that I paid for, and refused to finish reading them because of poor editing. You might be posting something online for free, but I truly think you still need to polish your story. Some sites, like AFF, have forums or community boards where you can promote your story. If that’s available, use it. Include the catchy blurb, story tags, and all the other things that might catch a reader’s attention. AFF does not support cover images in the archive, and we don’t allow images in the forum that are NSFW, but some sites do allow cover images. We use our forums to allow readers to engage with authors, while other sites let you reply to reviews directly. That’s what comes to mind for now.

Glad it worked!

The email address I have in the archive is different from the email address you’re using here on the forum. Is that correct? I’ve emailed you new links to the address I have on record for the archive.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links to get you back into your account.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links.

I’m showing two email addresses associated with this pen name. Please let me know which is the correct email to use, and I’ll send you the links to activate the account and set the password.

I’ll email you the account activation and password reset links that will work, if you can provide me with a working email address. The one I have in the database returns as a disabled account.

I’m going to pass this over to @DemonGoddess and @manta2g for review, since I’ve no clue what this even is.

I’ve sent you the activation and password reset links, with instructions in the email.

The guest name you’ve used isn’t associated with any archive profiles, which are a prerequisite for a forum account. Unless you have a link to your profile, we’re not going to be able to help you.

You’re locked out because you haven’t activated the account. I can send you the links to properly activate the account and reset the password if you’d like.

I’ve emailed you the activation and password reset links, with instructions in the email.

I’m not finding an account for this pen name. Do you have a url for your profile?

You have two pending registrations with different email accounts. Which one do you want to use? (Just give me the first two letters of the email address, so the spambots don’t find you.)

Sorry for the delay in responding—I was out of town for a bit. You’ll need to activate your account first. I’ve emailed you the links to activate, and reset your password, with instructions in the email.

The stories were misplaced. They actually should have been posted in Non-English > French > Television. I’ve notified the author and removed the stories.

Trust me, my brain is a dreadful place.

Actually, given how often we lick our lips, or drink a beverage, or eat, lipstick on lips will go away faster.

And now all I can picture is John Malkovich penning a letter while resting the paper on Uma Thuman’s back…

I’ve deleted the account and story for you as you’ve requested. We’ll get all the glitches sorted, I’m sure, but I do understand the frustration.
