I’m emailing you the email validation link and a new password reset link. You won’t be able to reset your password until you validate your email address, which hasn’t been done yet.

Aside from the obvious security risks of public access wifi, it’s entirely possible the IP changed from what we have in our database. I’ll email you fresh links. Revalidate, and then you should be able to reset your password, but keep in mind, if you are trying to use an old password when resetting, you are blanking the field and triggering another password reset. You shouldn’t need to reset your password every time you can’t log in. What you can do is clear your browser cache and history, click the three bars in the archive homepage and see if you are logged in or not. If you are, you’ll see your pen name. Log out, and then log in again, and it should work.

Please forward the email with the password reset information to tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org and I will be able to find your archive profile. I will then be able to delete that profile as you’re requesting.

Your archive profile has been deleted per your request.

It looks like you’ve validated the account, but you need a password reset. I’m emailing you the link to reset your password. If you run into any issues resetting it, you can reply to that email, and I’ll definitely answer since I monitor that inbox regularly.

I’m going to tag @manta2g and hopefully she’ll be able to pinpoint the issue for us.

We’ll try a fresh link, and maybe clear your cache just to be sure any old information isn't hanging about.

I’ve emailed you the activation link and a fresh password reset link.

The only thing I can think of is that the password doesn’t meet the requirements, or was perhaps not a new password. Password rules recap: Between 12-18 letters and/or numbers long, case sensitive. NO punctuation, spaces, or special characters allowed. Do NOT use your old password, or let Google make a strong password full of forbidden characters for you. If that’s not the case, let me know, and we’ll look into it further.

I’ve sent you a new link via email. Hopefully, this one will work for you.

Given that the tackles in both chapters are done with different motivation/intent, you don’t necessarily need to make Chapter 1 more detailed to match Chapter 2. That’s my opinion, anyway. But if you want to add a bit more detail to indicate the mood, that might help set the stage for the next chapter by making the differences in the tackles clearer.

How about this one: Batgirl – Worst Nightmare by NightCrepper

Revision and editing are probably the hardest parts of writing (aside from the dreaded marketing blurb). So, my advice is to get the initial revisions done to chapter one, and then re-read the whole thing. Make notes when something happens that you don’t think was properly introduced, or hinted at in earlier stages of the story. Read it aloud, if you can (and this is something I drive my family insane by doing). Here’s the thing. When you’re revising and editing, you hit a phrase, or a sentence, and you think, “Oh, that was great, I don’t want to lose that.” Experience has taught me those are the first bits I need to let go of, because they are going to hold me back. I copy and paste them to a separate document, and I leave them there. Most of the time, when I do that, I find myself writing something much clearer and stronger, because I’m not trying to bend the story to fit that pretty turn of phrase or that insanely seductive and often obscure word I’ve fallen for. When I’m done, there might be a place for that word or phrase, and I can copy it and bring it back into the chapter, but if not, I have a file of pretty phrases and words to serve as plot bunnies and inspiration for a new story.

Is it your emotional connection that worries you, or that of your readers?

I’ve responded to your DM. We’ll get this sorted!

I don’t know if anyone’s made an actual app for that. I will confess to not being an Apple/iOS user myself, so I can’t really speak to Safari’s current requirements, but it used to be an option to be able to choose Settings > Advanced Settings > Default Encoding and then select the appropriate format.

I’m sending you the password reset link via email.

You need to validate and reset your password. I’m emailing you updated links to do both.

I’ll email you a new password reset link. You do seem to have validated.

I’ve emailed you the new links.

I would be curious as to why the reviewer felt the narrator spoke “robotically.” It’s hard for me to decide what they meant by that. Is the speech pattern stiff and/or stilted, or does the reviewer find the narration to be lacking the spontaneity that generally occurs in verbal communication? I almost never write in the first person, because it’s not my preferred method, but I have done it. It’s tricky, I will admit, to get the voice across. I do use actions, and I do have my narrator reveal his thoughts and emotions to add some clarity. But the biggest thing I do is to read my dialogue out loud. If it doesn’t flow from my tongue, it won’t flow in the reader’s (figurative) ears. But that’s simply my way of handling it, and I won’t ever pretend I know more than the next bloke about how to write.

I believe that at the moment, only readers who are logged in to their archive profiles can leave reviews. No anonymous reviews are permitted to prevent a repeat of the attack that shut us down.

When I re-read my manuscript, I could actually see the point she was trying to make. It was almost laughable how often my poor MC made himself a cup of tea. And I’m really good at the traditional British method of making tea, from loose leaf and not sachets. I’m slightly conversant with chanoyu, although I would never dare to actually try to perform the tea ceremony myself without proper training. I like a good strong Yorkshire blend in the morning, PG Tips in the afternoon if I’m having tea, and Earl Grey before bed, if I decide to throw over my beloved coffee for a day.
