To be very honest, I tend to text in full words, and with proper punctuation. I have no patience with trying to puzzle out a series of abbreviations and acronyms, and I'll just ignore the message if it's that incomprehensible.

Hi, and welcome! We have an entire thread of FAQ topics that address pretty much everything you've asked: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/forum/114-faqs/ Specifically, how to add stories and writers to your profile: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/29616-how-to-use-the-new-recommended-authors/ and http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/29596-how-to-use-the-new-recommended-reading/ Updating your profile is easy; http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/forum/790-profile-how-tos/ As far as not having your email appear in reviews while you're not logged in, that field is a text field. Instead of entering your email address, just type "Private" and that's what will appear. We're in the middle of a code rewrite project, and we're rolling things out in stages to avoid crashing the site. As we update code, we make announcements and update our FAQ threads as well, so stay tuned. Site news appears here in the forums as well as in the archive itself. But if all else fails, you can email us at one of the contact emails provided in the archive under Info and Support, or leave a post here: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/forum/781-general-staff-questions/

I came of age in the early 70s, so this is sort of my era. Of course, I try to stay fresh, which leads to all sorts of silliness...

Oh, dear, I hadn't meant to be obscure or to disapprove. By fandom, I mean the actual comic title, or movie title, or cartoon title. For example, the comic title "The Justice League" would be a fandom. Think in terms of the categories listed under each subcategory in Comics. "Batman" is both a fandom and a character, but as long as you don't limit it to the character, it covers the entire Batman setting, canon, and other characters that Batman would interact with, such as Robin, or Alfred. Jean Grey is part of the Xmen, so disclaiming ownership of Xmen covers, once again, all of the characters, settings and canon for that 'verse. So, a good disclaimer might read, for example: "I do not own Xmen, The Justice League, Batman, Superman, or The Avengers, and I make no profit." I hope this is less confusing.

What we generally look for is the actual names of the fandoms, for example, Batman or Justice League, as opposed to naming the publishers or simply the characters used. We are fine with a fairly simple construction: I do not own [insert name(s) of fandom(s)] and I make no profit.

Glad to help!

I think the issue might be that you're entering the new password in the section for changing your email address. Just below that is the section where you can enter your current password (the jumble of letters and numbers you received) and then the new password you prefer, and confirming the new password below.

Everything. I see a person, or someone makes a gesture, and it sets off a story in my head. The light from my terrace at the end of the day, the hawks setting up housekeeping down the street, or just the color of someone's dress. I have no end of inspiration. I just need to wait for it to gel into a story, and then hide somewhere and write an outline.

You should be able to access your reviews from your profile. Go to Stories Written, and select the subdomain. You'll see a list of your published stories, with a clickable link for Reviews.

You're welcome! I'm glad I triggered a solution for you!

I have never tried that. O.o But looking at it logically, until the RTE stops inserting an extra space, the only other option is to use html, I'd think. But even that might not work in the archive itself. The < br > code would give you the return with no spacing. I've never tried that in the archive within a chapter, though. It does work in the review boards.

Given that this is the Search forum, and not the Writers' Corner, I'll ask that we not continue the grammar discussion here. I'd hate to have to lock the thread.

Luddite that I am, I merely backspace out the extra lines in the RTE, since it's generally an extra paragraph break that gets inserted by me that gets doubled. I do exactly the same in the Word file. Since I use the "No Spacing" format, I don't get the automatic space between paragraphs when I type. I have to manually insert those breaks with the "enter" key when I type, so before I post, I just remove that paragraph break between the paragraphs, and the formatting retains the paragraph break at the end of the last line of the paragraph. This is a legacy, mind you, from having begun to write on a manual typewriter with a black and red cloth ribbon. I treat paragraph breaks as carriage returns.

Oh, it gets worse. It's an interfaith marriage. The daft bugger is Bronx Irish Catholic (which is a distinct subset of your vanilla Irish Roman Catholic). I have successfully managed to not quite corrupt a Christian, although if pressed, he will admit to a certain fondness for Beltane.

Not as far as I can tell. I use either LibreOffice or Word 2010, and even in the "No Spacing" style, I get the extra line between paragraphs. It's not all that hard to edit it out in the RTE before I publish, or if I'm feeling up to it, I remove the lines before I copy and paste. My Word file looks awful (I don't save the version with deleted spaces between paragraphs, of course) but it posts perfectly in the RTE.
