  1. I like pairings like "thick cock" or "generous cock" rather than having someone actually give me measurements. I'm happier using my imagination as a reader.
  2. One thing you don't say, and it really makes a difference, is whether or not the story is being told in the first person or not. If it's being told in the first person, you do need to make the transition clear, and the asterisks or other subtle marker (please do NOT announce the POV change) is needed. If you're telling the story in third person, consider what we called the "third person omniscient" back in the Jurassic age. It allows the author to reveal the thoughts of all the characters. A good description is this article. A little more in-depth discussion is here. Don't let yourself get discouraged. Point of view is a tricky thing to get right, and the fact that you care enough to worry about getting it right is the hallmark of a writer.
  3. For all who celebrate it, have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :D

      Awesome day, the turkey was delicious, and I played hooky all day! :D

  4. I'll second DrunkenScotsman here. Snogging is a full-body experience for me, both personally and as an author. Jaw-nibbling, ear-nipping, fingers tangling in hair, and so on... It's the opening gambit of foreplay, and really does set the tone for the way the encounter will go.
  5. 50,038 words written for NaNoWriMo, and I'm still going. I am a very wordy Wench. ^.^

  6. This is your disclaimer as it currently appears: There are two key elements missing, and I'll fix the disclaimer for you so you can see what they are: Disclaimer: I do not own Peter Pan or any of its characters, and I make no profit from this story. You need to disclaim ownership of the fandom by name. Mentioning JM Barrie is not enough. You also need to state that you make no money or profit from the story. That was missing entirely. You can copy and paste what I have written for you, and we will be able to make the story visible again. Thanks!
  7. This is a fairly handy little guide to outlining a story... Fiction Factor Having linked that, I do outline and then watch my characters ignore my outline and do what they want. That's not necessarily a bad thing, if you can herd them into some semblance of the events you've mapped out. An outline is a guide, not the assembly instructions. For the old story, edit. Harshly. Go through and mark only those sentences that really shine, and scrap everything else. (Back up the story first, of course, in case you have editor's remorse.) Look at what you have left, and build around those gems. Craft a setting for them. It takes patience and a great deal of focus to properly edit. Roughing out a story is easy. Polishing it is hard work, and that's where most people give up. Don't quit.
  8. Honestly, I've come to the conclusion that they are not readers. They cannot possibly be readers, unless one counts graphic novels as a literary achievement. Let me say that I've enjoyed a graphic novel or two in my time, lest I be thought elitist, but one should be able to read something meatier before one decides that one is a writer. The endless author's notes, the announced flashbacks, the incessant shouting out of a point of view change... these read like bad screenplays for an episode of a television show that should never, ever leave the editing booth. Mauling should be mandatory.
  9. A lot of the time, I'll write past the scene and then go back. Once I've written the post-boring scene bit, sometimes something happens that I can use to go back and liven up my boring bit. Then again, like Ayato says, sometimes you need the bit of narrative that feels boring to advance the plot.
  10. From last night's mad sprint to make 30k words: "...sell you dawn the river..." I HATE the ones that slide past spellcheck...
  11. Apparently! I promised I wouldn't let my inner editor loose until I was done with the draft, but I HAD to go back for that one...
  12. From my NaNo: "She marrowed her eyes..."
  13. Oh, I'll have to save a few of my NaNo doozies for here. I've been trying to at least fix the really bad stuff as I go, but yeah... nothing like sprint writing to make for great typos! And by the way, you are rocking NaNo!!! Way to go!!!
  14. You would navigate to the subdomain from the main page before beginning the search. Once in the search window, there is no option to navigate to a different subdomain. As to emailing an author, unless they have made their email public, you are best leaving a review. Many authors elect to receive email notification of reviews, allowing them to see reviews promptly. Even if this is not the case, the author will hopefully encounter the review and still enjoy knowing that their story is appreciated even after some time has passed since they published it.
  15. Government in exile. Drinks are on me.
  16. Now that brings up an interesting little thing I've noticed. I do NOT get bombarded with offers to enhance my breasts, firm my rather callipygian buttocks, smooth my skin, or erase my wrinkles. I'm not at all sure if I should be relieved or insulted. Maybe I just need another drink.
  17. Thank you for correcting the author's note, and the story should be visible once again!
  18. Not to mention the raging hordes of deposed nobility that desperately need my help to claim their funds, for which they will reward me substantially. I'm all agog at the prospect of untold riches, and being permitted to rub elbows with the highest echelons... If we're drinking, make mine a Guinness.
  19. Your story is now visible again. Thank you!
  20. What was your pen name in the archive? Also, if you can let us know the subdomain and story name, we can check and see what our records show, if anything. Thanks!
  21. Exact same story is also under X-Men. http://xmen.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600090901 My thought is that the one under Comics needs deleting.
  22. If it does come back, you know I'll be delighted to participate!

    Plagiarism

    The best thing is to let a moderator or administrator know, and we'll get right on it. We have zero tolerance for plagiarists, but we'd also rather not have to put out a flame war at the same time. We have lots of room in the Hall of Shame to hoist those nasty plagiarists...

    Plagiarism

    One of the things that we try to discourage here on AFF is flame wars on review boards and in our forums. Right now, it appears that the reviews are being deleted almost as fast as they go up, and there has been no response, but we'd like everyone to keep in mind that a flame war isn't going to help resolve this any faster, since it will require the moderators to have to go and deal with that issue on top of the original plagiarism report. We do understand how frustrating this is, and I know Danyealle has mentioned that she herself went through the grief of being plagiarized. We're authors as well, and we take this very seriously. Trust us to do the right thing here, and we'll get this resolved as fast as we can! Thanks!
