This might be a better area if you want to use German: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/forum/450-german/

You would need to reactive your account first, since the archive code has been updated since you last logged in. You can find the FAQ on hos to do that here: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/29595-existing-users-logging-in-for-the-1st-time-in-the-new-system/

Passwords are stored in a part of the database with strictly limited access. I don’t have access to that information. I also can’t change your email address, as I said earlier. I’ve notified my tech admin about that issue, but have not heard back yet. I’m going to assume you no longer have access to that old email address?

We do not permit any mention of Patreon accounts, or allow authors to solicit Patreon contributions on AFF. Fan fiction exists in a grey area of the Fair Use provisions of copyright law, and one of the requirements is that the author makes no money from material copyrighted by someone else. Should the owner of the copyright choose to do so, the author could be sued for monetary damages, and the site would be required to at the very least remove the author and all works, or could be served with a cease and desist order preventing ANY fan fiction involving that copyrighted material entirely, or could be sued along with the author for copyright violation. You can read the relevant discussion of fair use here: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-a.html So, while we all want to support authors, we cannot allow any Patreon or other funding sites to be mentioned here, or for authors to offer to write fan fiction for commissions.

Can you give me a link to the story or stories in question? It would help if I could see them, since we did make changes to the archive code to make it mobile friendly. It might be an issue that also repeats on other devices, in which case I’d have more to show our coder. Thanks!

I don’t know your password. I can’t see your password. What I can do is send you a password reset link, but it will expire in about 30 minutes, so unless you get to it quickly, it’s not going to work, and I have to send it to the email address we have on record.

If anything, it would be the Hentai Foundry member who would have either posted there under another name, which is not likely looking at both profiles, or it was the HF member who plagiarized the AFF member. The AFF member posted the story in 2011, whereas the HF member did not post it until 2013. We always appreciate vigilant readers. However, this does not appear to be an instance of an AFF member committing plagiarism. I will, however, reach out to our member and alert them to the post on HF, should our member wish to pursue it with HF.

I am unable to update your email address. The address of record is laurathomas086@gmail.com. Please use that to log in, and you should then be able to change the email address yourself in the control panel.

Just as a reminder, any exchange of money for the writing of fan fiction is illegal. This seems to bear repeating, but AFF will not permit any works of fan fiction that have been written for compensation to be posted on our site. Anyone posting work that has been written for compensation can face removal of the story at the very least, and their account if we deem it necessary to keep our site in compliance with legal restrictions on the fair use of copyrighted materials.

There is no update that affects your ability to log on to the archive, although you DO need to use the email address that’s linked to your archive profile, and that address is NOT what you have listed above. (I won’t post an email address to an open forum, where any passing spambot could see it.)

The story on AFF was posted here over 2 years earlier than the story posted to Hentai Foundry. As much as I dislike plagiarism in any form, I can’t see any reason to suspect that the AFF member has done anything improper.

I can’t tell you what your forum email address is because I can’t find a forum profile for you, but your archive mail address is a gmail account, although not the same one you’ve indicated above.

Our coder is looking into the problem. For the moment, it seems to be gmail registrations that aren’t getting the activation emails. We’re really sorry about the hiccup, because usually it’s gamil accounts that have no problems, and Microsoft email clients that have issues. I’m thoroughly confused myself. And yes, if there’s no activated archive account, the forum registration is going to fail as well.

When we upgraded the archive to PHP 7, it might have reset the notifications. Try turning them off, saving that choice, and then turning them on again via your Control Panel. That should reset the function, but if it doesn’t let us know and I’ll pass it along as a bug report.

Do not place temptation in my path…

Hi! To log in, you need to enter your email address and your password in the fields at the top right corner of the archive home page. There should be a menu item that reads “Log In” which if you click it, opens a dropdown with fields for that information. Enter it, click the grey button marked Login, and you should see your pen name appear in the upper right corner where it read “Log In” previously.

The ratings trolls were unacceptable. It was incredibly discouraging, and far too many people were chased away by them.

I don't know if I've made it better, but I certainly hope so!)

I’m mostly a writer of original fiction myself, so I know what you’re saying. I don’t write what seems to be the generally accepted genres of original fiction, either, and that’s okay. I’m playing in my sandbox happily. I actually miss the Shoutbox. That was a really neat way to stay in touch with other authors, and having it at the top of the forum homepage meant it was always visible for me. It’s not as much fun stuck in a separate tab/window, to be honest. But it did feel like the site was more active in the past, and I’d love to see it liven up again. I will say that letting authors ask for reviews is fine. There were a few former members who took it too far, however, and would call out reviewers in their author’s notes for not leaving enough reviews, or for not reviewing fast enough, or for being critical, or for complaining about late updates. I’ve never felt like I needed a certain number of reviews to post a new chapter—I’d never post anything if I did that—and I also never felt the need to call out reviewers for what they had to say about my work. And trust me, I did have a few people leave hate reviews on my stories because of my moderating duties, which was both childish and ineffective. I’m still writing, albeit very slowly, and I’m still moderating. I’m a native New Yorker, and I don’t scare easily.

You’re absolutely right about the recommended reading feature in the archive—there’s no way for an author to know they’ve been recommended. The same thing applies to the archive currently reading feature. Authors remain clueless about who listed their story, and readers have to check manually to see if there’s been an update. Some of our authors have very lively review reply threads, and readers find out about new updates there. The forum does allow for email notifications if you follow a thread, like a review reply thread. It’s sadly the case that the forum allows for a great deal more interaction than the archive itself. If I had the time, I’d look into learning the archive code myself, honestly. I’m already volunteering my time here, and it would be nice to feel a little more productive, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. In the meantime, brainstorming like this helps bring to light things members would like to see in the archive, and that’s always a good thing. If our coder and tech admin can make it happen, I know they’ll try their best. After all, none of us want to see AFF disappear like so many other archives have done.

We were talking at one point about something to replace the ratings system, perhaps a “like” or “kudos” feature that would be harder to abuse, at least in terms of downvoting a story that didn’t have the reader’s OTP, or had content (duly tagged) that the reader still found offensive even though they were alerted by the tags to its presence. (Yes, it got that petty.) As I recall, and it was a while ago, it was not something that was easy for the coder to implement, and our focus on code updates was to make the site more mobile-friendly. Encouraging reviews has always been difficult. We had to implement a policy of not allowing authors to withhold chapters until a certain number of reviews was received, because readers emailed us in droves to complain bitterly. Review demands are still prohibited, because honestly, none of us have the patience to deal with the surge of irate emails they engender. On the other hand, readers tend to expect fast updates without any consideration for real-life demands that might slow an author down, and I can’t imagine we’d want to reward a flurry of “Get off your ass and write the next chapter, dammit!” reviews. But that would involve a quality assurance review of reviews, and I don’t have the staff for that, probably because we’re all volunteers and getting paid in virtual whiskey and brain bleach isn’t appealing to a lot of folks. Now, if someone wanted to revive the AFF Reviewers Association, and had the artistic talent to create badges and banners to hand out to reviewers, that would be something I’d get behind. Anyone reviewing a story could leave a link to their review, and whoever is running the initiative could hand out badges and such monthly (weekly might be a bit time consuming). Who knows? It might be a way to get folks more active again. Another way for authors to perhaps encourage reviews is to post story updates to the Promote a Story! thread, with helpful links to the story or chapter so readers could jump to it quickly. Readers could follow that story promotion thread, and get email notification when the author posts about an update. Sometimes we lose track of a story, and this could be a way to keep it fresh in readers’ minds. I’m enjoying all this brainstorming!

We had pluses in the archive back when I first joined. You could rate a story from one to five pluses, with five being the highest rating. As @Desiderius Price said, and as you recall, there was a great deal of abuse of that system. We also had the AFF Reviewers Association, which gave out tokens and banners for reviewers. It was strictly a member-run thing, and not an official campaign, but it did help spark some reviews. We do have the ability for authors to allow or disallow anonymous reviews, as a global setting for their profile, and not by individual story. I’m not a coder (as I frequently admit) so I don’t know if there is any way to implement what we have on the forum—the more a forum member’s posts are liked, the more reputation points they get—and make it a reputation point system for logged-in reviewers. I’m going to guess that it would be harder to implement in the archive, however. (I’m going to admit that I haven’t had a lot of time for reading for pleasure, so I have been seriously remiss in reviewing anything as well. I’d love to say I’ll get better about reading and reviewing, but I hate to make promises I’m not certain I can keep.)

Just to confirm, is this your account? http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296964048

Hi, I have found your account, I think: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296782728 This account is showing as inactive, which would mean you would need to re-activate it as shown in this FAQ: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/29595-existing-users-logging-in-for-the-1st-time-in-the-new-system/ You would need to use the email address used to create the account, which is unfortunately an iwon.com email address, and they are, I believe, no longer providing that service. So, in order to re-activate the account, I would need to update your email address. I strongly suggest you not post your email addresses on the forum, since that’s a good way to attract spam. You can email me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org with the email address you want to use, and I can update that for you. Once I’ve done that, I’ll let you know and you can follow the reactivation steps. If you run into any issues reactivating, I’d be happy to help you work through them.

I’m tagging @DemonGoddess and @manta2g in my response. I have a feeling this is a hiccup from our recent upgrade to PHP 7, since I’m seeing quite a few pending registrations. I’m hopeful they can clear the issue up quickly, so bear with us.
