The reason no one has written anything like this is because Anne Rice filed cease and desist orders with every fan fiction archive, AFF included, prohibiting the hosting of any derivative work based on her copyrighted material. While we are aware that Ms Rice is now deceased, her estate has not lifted the cease and desist order, and therefore, nothing based on any of Anne Rice’s work will be hosted on AFF.

Bear with me, okay? I seem to no longer have the ability to generate a password reset link. I’m not sure if that means the old link is fixed or not, but I’ve tagged the relevant people to check.

No problem! I’ve moved it to the right thread for you.

I’ll send you an email to the address I have of record, and see if you receive it. If not, you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org and we can update your email address to what you are currently using. Once we sort that, I can generate a password reset link for you if our usual link isn’t working.

::loads crossbow with silver bolts wrapped in wolfsbane soaked in garlic-infused holy water:: Mostly harmless, I’m sure.

The author never managed to actually make it clear what this MC’s eyes looked like, although the MC spent an inordinate amount of time staring at herself in a mirror. And changing clothes. And falling down and crawling. I swear, there is not enough brain bleach in the universe, sometimes.

Oh, definitely keep them out of the beauty aisle!!! I had the misfortune to read a fan fic years ago with a PC/MC who had… wait for it… rainbow eyes. Now I ask you, what in the holy fuck are rainbow eyes? Oh, and she was proficient with every weapon in creation despite being unable to manage walking most of the time. I wish I was making this up, I really do.

Hi! What issue are you having with logging in?

It’s fine to use standard architectural terms, like column or obelisk or façade (rather than pediment). The idea is to use a common enough term that your readers will recognize, so they can see in their mind’s eye what it is you want them to see.

Hm. That’s a rather awkward visual. I’m also not sure if the building is two stories high, if the crystals are two stories high, if the crystals are supporting the building off the ground, or if it’s the crystals or building creating the light. Now, Greco-Roman architecture is not all that hard to describe. In general, the buildings would have columns in front, stairs leading up to the doorway, which could be wide and open or with a stout wooden door, depending on the usage, and a peaked roof. I’d drag out all the proper terms for each component, but anyone can Google that. The point is that it’s not hard to describe a structure if you approach it logically: “After a short trek in the ankle high water, Loric found what looked to be some kind of temple ruins. Blue crystalline columns supported the structure, rising at least three meters out of the water, and their radiance illuminated the pale stone of the temple. The remnants of a broad stair, flanked by tall columns capped with intricate carvings, led up to an intimidatingly dark opening beneath the crumbling pediment.” Or something to that effect…

I know a lot of fanfics break with their ‘verse to reference things in other ‘verses, but speaking only for myself, I think it’s lazy writing. I mean, it’s just as easy to say that a mask covered only the eyes and nose of a character, leaving their mouth uncovered as it is to say they wore a mask like Batman when Batman isn’t part of their ‘verse at all. It’s really the writer’s choice, when you come down to it. When I do write fanfic, I try to stick to my ‘verse and not drag in references that wouldn’t fit. Same thing with dialogue. I try not to use expressions or slang that doesn’t fit my ‘verse. Can you imagine a character from LotR making a reference to something out of Harry Potter? It takes the reader right out of the story. I mean, would Glorfindel order butterbeer? Of course not. He’d rather have miruvor, or a good Dorwinion wine.

If you’re going for something in the food, there’s always good old poppy, aka opium. Have them eat a spicy stew laced with enough opium to fell an ox, and there you are.

For me, it very much depends on what I’m writing. If it’s set in a world of my own creation, there wouldn’t be anyone who knew who Ironman or Optimus Prime were, so that sort of description would be meaningless. If I were writing something set on future-day Earth, however, then those references would be applicable, and if I was going for a touch of humor, I might even use them. It would really depend on whether or not I was going for a grim mood or something more sardonic, I suppose.

I’m able to view the NonEnglish subdomain without issue. I recommend clearing your browser’s history and cache, closing the browser, and restarting it. Navigate to AFF and try opening the subdomain, and it should open properly for you.

I’m not able to replicate this. My editor is opening in the RTE without raw HTML showing for documents originally written in and uploaded from Word. I’m tagging @DemonGoddess and @manta2g regarding this.

No, I’ve tagged our coder, and she’ll see the post here.

I’m tagging @manta2g for the search by tag issue. The loading issue had to do with our migration to the new server, but generally, clearing your cache and history should reset everything.

Try clearing your browser’s cache and history, and then close your browser down entirely. Reopen the browser, and AFF should load properly again.

I’m tagging our coder @manta2g for this one.

The account and all stories have been deleted as per your request. Wishing you all the best!

Is this your account? http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296799803 You have 8 stories in the Harry Potter subdomain under this profile, which would all be deleted as well. Do you need to retrieve those stories?

I saw this in the Malwarbyte’s blog, and thought I’d pass it on: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/scams/2022/07/discord-shame-channel-goes-phishing/ I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but… never click on anything sent to you that you didn’t ask for, and never share any information based on a random post/text/Discord/tweet/Snap or any other forum. Don’t click the link, don’t scan the QR code, don’t feed the trolls, and stay safe!

I don’t think there’s any real world substances, since candles produce carbon dioxide, but at such a low level that it’s negligible, and torches don’t produce anything more noxious. But you can have a great deal of fun having someone add something to the candle wax so when it melts, it gives off the gas that will render your adventurers unconscious. Or it could be a component of the oil that the torches are soaked in. You’d have to make it up, of course, unless you want to look at the sort of herbs or essential oils that are usually associated with bedtime. Off the top of my head, without any Googling, that could be lavender, chamomile, valerian…

We don’t create categories unless there are stories to be placed in the category. Empty categories serve no purpose, and as I’ve explained before, each subdomain is a separate database. You cannot do a global search across all databases. The site has no financial issues that prevent us from operating as we are. We’re not in fiscal jeopardy; we simply can’t revamp the site to what you envision it to be. I’ve actually suggested, in the past, that anyone who thinks it’s easy should try starting up a fiction website themselves. I promise you, it will be a revelatory experience.

The search function works within each separate subdomain, and not across the archive as a whole. You need to go to the subdomain, and then use the search function. Here’s the FAQ: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/63121-how-to-use-search/
