And therein lies part of the problem as well. Even if an author never responds to me when I review, it's still something I feel I should do if I've read a story for enjoyment. I think authors deserve that, and if they respond to my review, that's just icing on my cupcake.

Try Marvel 'Verse > Marvel 'Verse Comics > Fantastic Four found here.

Make sure you let us know if that goes to a publisher. We love it when one of our authors is published!

That sounds like a variant of the "Read the Book" sort of fictions. There is generally far too much copyrighted material used verbatim in those works, and whether it's a book or a movie, it is not permitted by our Terms of Service here at AFF.

The author is Ayato but it appears that the story has been taken down, perhaps for publication. She has contact information on her profile, if you want to ask.

I'm going to assume two things here, the first being that you checked the Spam or Junk folder for your email account, and the other is that you used the email address we have on record for your account. I'm sending a test email to that address (I do NOT want to put that address out here on a public forum). If you don't receive that test, please let me know at our email: tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org and we can look into what else the issue might be.

Damned if I can remember who or where, but I did read somewhere that a good novel-length story should have 3 crises and an ending that resolves them. The crises don't need to be overwhelmingly dark or gritty, but that seemed to have been seen as the key. With that in mind, I thought about most of the books I've read and found memorable, and there seems to be something to that theory. In a short work, you can have one issue, and as long as you resolve it for the reader, it's all good. But novels need something more, and sometimes the viewpoint that life isn't always pretty, or orderly, or even very fair works for those crises. I think that's why I enjoy doing short pieces here, because it's actually much more of a challenge to create short fiction that holds a reader's attention while letting them enjoy the fapping bits, too.

Part of the problem as well is that people tend to stick to their fandoms of choice, both as readers and as authors looking for reviews. As a moderator, I have to read across the entire archive, in fandoms I might never otherwise go to on my own. I've found some wonderful things this way, and I'd encourage others to explore. I will say, though, that even my boundless enthusiasm can take a hit when I'll read outside my areas of interest, leave reviews, and then hear an author I've reviewed remark that they don't read [insert fandom/genre of your choice here]. I write het, slash, and sometimes even SFW as the mood takes me. If you're going to ignore what I've written because you don't like het, or slash, or SFW because you can't muster the imagination to fap to it, then don't complain when you don't get reviews. I write a lot more original lately than fandom, so I won't even mess with treasured ships. Really, it makes me unlikely to continue to review those authors in what little free time I have. Pay it up, people. For every review you get, leave two. In turn, those authors should go out and leave two more reviews each. In no time, we could have a lively community of engaged readers and authors, chatting happily in the forums about the reviews left in the archive. And we don't even charge a membership fee. Imagine that.

It's particularly disheartening when people you thought were intelligent enough to know better seem to be sucked in my these irrational crazies. I could rant for hours, but suffice to say, I was raised by my father to ask questions, and take nothing on faith. If you want me to believe what you are spouting, you'd better have verifiable facts backed up by more than some right-wing, kiss-ass pundit or corner-store preacher. I've no patience with snake oil or fear-mongerers.
