Hi, I’m not finding this account. Could you email me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org with the email address for the account? Thanks!

Thank you for the good wishes! Actually, I hadn’t known about the incursion over on FFN. It’s interesting timing, indeed. I know we use different software for our fiction archives, but I wonder if this is a general attack on fiction sites. (I don’t think AO3 would tell us if they were on fire even if we were toasting marshmallows in the flames.)

Hi! First of all, are you trying to sign up for the archive or for the forum? If it’s the archive, the site is in read-only mode at the moment, which is why you can’t create an account. We were subjected to a barrage of sql injection attacks, and until the site is taken out of read-only mode, it’s not going to be possible to make a new archive account. If it’s the forum, one of the requirements for forum membership is an archive account. And since the archive is in read-only mode… We’re all working as fast as we can to resolve the issues, and get the site back up and running again. Bear with us, please, and keep an eye out on the forum and on the archive home page for announcements about the site’s status. Thank you!

@Deadman is absolutely right. The archive is in read-only mode at present, and that means new registrations are disabled while we resolve the issues surrounding the attack on AFF. But keep an eye on the forums, or the archive home page, because we’ll be sure to announce it everywhere when we’re back and running properly again.

I have copies of all my work on my hard drive, and on two separate back-up hard drives. I tend to keep all the versions, and I just date them as “Rewrite 20XX” at the end of the original title so I don’t lose my mind.

Go by the saved date.

Given everything that’s going on in the archive at the moment, I’d be loath to disable reviews right now. It seems like everything we do to try and help turns around and bites us on the ass lately.

Yes, I got that this morning myself, and reported it. It’s frustrating, and we’re working on it.

It most certainly does. This has been very frustrating for those of us on staff, because we want AFF to be a safe place for our members. Everyone’s been amazingly patient, and I’m really grateful for that. It doesn’t make it any easier to have to tell all of you that we’re not quite there yet.

That was the sql injection attack we’ve been dealing with, and I strongly urge everyone not to click on anything like that. I’m tagging @manta2g and @DemonGoddess to let them know it’s happening again...

I can’t give you a ballpark yet. I’ll have a better idea once we finish up this phase of the clean-up, which at the moment involves merging duplicate (or more) accounts for over 5,000 members. That’s a fairly time consuming job, but the moderating staff is able to help with this portion, which takes some of the load off @manta2g. Believe me, as a writer myself, I’ve been itching to be able to post things again, so I’m highly motivated.

Hi! We’re still in read-only mode. We’re at a point where we’re doing a massive clean-up of duplicate (and triplicate) accounts from before the last major code rewrite. Once we’ve gotten that done, our amazing coder, @manta2g, can begin the process of emailing all members so they can verify their email addresses and reset their passwords as Phase One of the unlocking process. The good news is that some of the moderating staff is able to help out with the clean-up at this point, so it won’t take nearly as long as if manta had to do it alone. Stay tuned for that email from us!

Once we get back online, I’ll work on those updates.

I was able to delete this account as well.

Your account is now deleted.

Okay, that archive account is deleted.

The archive profile is deleted.

I’ve deleted the archive profile for you. @Melrick can take care of the forum profile.

We’re in the process of securing the site, and while I don’t have any hard information on when that will happen, or exactly what that will mean for unregistered readers, I do know our coder will be sending emails to all registered members asking them to verify their email address and reset their password. Keep an eye out for status updates from @manta2g as she works out the process. And as always, thank you for your continued patience while we sort this mess out.

Do you have an archive account? I’m not finding one with any variation of your guest name.

Ah, yes, well, that rules us out, I’m afraid, since we don’t allow Patreon links or selling writing here other than via our advertising banners. But, if you do ever publish anything, you can always post links in the “Great Wall of…” thread where we do allow you to advertise your published stuff.

We’re pretty open here as far as original work. Just because we’re called Adult-FanFiction doesn’t mean that every story needs to be explicit or even mildly sexual. There are a great number of things that are adult in nature and have nothing to do with sex. Having said that, you can publish some pretty explicit stuff too. There are small presses that have no issue with erotica, although most will draw the line at underage content or rape. Certain things are just too triggering even for the most liberal publisher. Here on AFF, we ask that you tag the ever living daylights out of any content that might be triggering or controversial, but we don’t censor unless it’s hate speech or trolling. Or stolen. We’re pretty firm on not stealing anyone else’s work.

I have one story over on the Pit. When I first started writing fan fiction, that’s where I posted, and this other author read what I thought was a one-shot, and asked me, “What happened next?” And that was it. I was off to the races. I pulled everything off the Pit years ago, but after she passed, I revised that first story and reposted it there in her memory. I have one co-authored story over on another site, but it’s pretty much dead and I doubt it will ever be finished, which is a pity. I loved the story, and my co-author, but the site was less than welcoming when she had an issue, so… I pulled everything else I had there and never looked back. Pretty much anything I’m not going to publish for sale lives here. AFF is my home.
