When you're publishing for money, you enter into a contract with your publisher that often gives them exclusive rights to the work in question for a period of time. It's not uncommon to see authors taking down things that might infringe on a contract.

For Almost Home: Thank you! This is exactly the sort of review an author lives for, because it gives me an idea of what I did right, and where I can improve. We can ALWAYS improve, in my opinion. I'm going to admit that this is a personal favorite of mine, if only because it was a thousand word flashfic, and I needed to be very precise to convey as much as I wanted to in that short space. I came close! It's also a peek at a world that is part of a novel in the works. One day, I'll get it out the door, but most of the science fiction type flashfics I've posted here do relate back to that work. They're outtakes, character sketches, and sometimes just for fun.. But thank you again!

Bring it on! Seriously, having just been through the process, I'm amazed at how much stronger my story is on the far side of the edit. I've been guilty of some completely amateur errors, and I've learned so much. I find myself thinking more as I write the new story that sat down in my lap and made eyes at me, and with any luck, it will be an easier edit. Or maybe not...I could find other things that need work. ::grins::

::grins:: I have a few pieces up here in serious need of revision, which I will get to soon, I hope! Some of those have reviews with some seriously good concrit, and I intend to use that to clean up the stories in question. Do I love it when people like what I write, and tell me? Of course I do. But I love it when people take the time to give me a detailed and well thought out review. I love to know what worked and what didn't. I'm no kid, but that doesn't mean I don't learn every single day, and that I can't try to improve every time I sit down at the keyboard.

Now mind you, my water never broke on its own. Both times, my OB had to break my water. In fact, Teenboy's was broken right as they told me to push. It would have been nicer had they told me what it was, but that particular OB was vying for a spontaneous orchidectomy. I still get teased because my Teengirl, the C-section baby, was 5 lbs 9 ounces. Teenboy, the VBAC, was 7 lbs 13 ounces. Yeah, I do things backward. Holy fecking shite! I hope you're VERY kind to your mum!

I walked up and down hills, and drove over bumpy roads. Teenboy was a week late, too, the little darling. LMAO!

I'm in total agreement with all that DG and Rogue have said. You really don't know until you've missed your first period, and even then, it's not like you'd rush out and buy a test if you were a day late. I was extremely regular for the most part, but was late once or twice when I was trying for children without being pregnant. I've had both a Cesarean delivery and what they call a VBAC - Vaginal Birth After Delivery. The Cesarean was not scheduled, but Teengirl was having deceleration of her heart beat with each contraction, and since I was "older" my OB wanted to err on the side of caution. You feel nothing past the pinch of the spinal, and since you;re generally draped, you see nothing until they hold up the baby, which is surprisingly quick. Vaginal birth for me was fairly uneventful. I was in actual labor intermittently. I began in the late afternoon, it stopped at around midnight, and resumed at about three am with a vengeance, and Teenboy arrived a little more than six hours later. I had a late epidural (9.5cm dilation because my OB for that birth was an idiot and waited until shift change to call for the epi). But he was still an easy enough birth as things go. Yes, I yelled, because I focused on pushing better when I yelled. (My OB frowned at me and I asked him if he wanted to give it a go.) Yes, until the epidural, there was pain, but it never hit unendurable for me. As far as the physical experiences of pregnancy, again, it varies with every woman you talk to. I had no morning sickness with Teengirl, gained around thirty pounds, and was not ungainly. With Teenboy, I had morning sickness from about 2 months to 4 months along, and I was fecking huge, although I still didn't gain more than thirty-five pounds. It was ALL belly, to the point where people were asking me if I was having twins. But I was fairly energetic through both pregnancies, and can't say that it was terrible, although I could have done without the awkwardness in the last trimester of Teenboy's gestation.

You'll be notified, but it's been a bit hectic here with the false reports to Google. Bear with us!

Hi, What you need to do is to send an email to technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org and include your archive penname, the old email address, the new email address and any pertinent information that can identify you as the owner of the archive account.

That was at least decent response time for a false report! HUZZAH!

I'm not getting the red screen anymore. A tentative "Huzzah" is in order?

Hi, Under our Profile How To's in the FAQs thread, we have FAQS for How to use the new Recommended Reading and How to use the new Recommended Authors that should help answer your question.

The first thing is that you can't use the same password when resetting. If you tend to use the same few passwords across various sites, you may have inadvertently done just that. If you're sure you didn't, then was it at least 8 characters long? And don't forget, passwords are case sensitive, so that means if you used a capital letter when you created the password, you need to use it when you log in as well.

Round two of reporting done. Is there a contact at the admin level I can email? This is utterly objectionable, to read her racist, bigoted, vile rants. If a site that allows 13 year old children to join can't see fit to remove this, then maybe they need to understand that their advertisers may find it as objectionable as we do.

Reported everything last night, and I'll do it again today if the site lets me.

LMAO!!!

If you mean your name here on the forum, you will need to send a forum PM to DemonGoddess061, our tech admin. She can change that profile name for you.

Actually, the recaptcha only triggers when you initially upload the story. Adding chapters via a copy and paste from a word processing program does not trigger a recaptcha.
