Happy New Year to everyone! Let’s hope 2022 brings us all some much needed joy. We’ve all had a lot on our plates with the pandemic, wildfires, floods, workplace upheavals, and just about everything you can imagine going on. But as a community of readers and writers, we can always fall back on the worlds we love to bring us some much-needed comfort. So find a good story to read, or write something that’s been tickling the back of your brain, and let’s see if we can find a bit of joy and peace in words.

Fred: What’s with the trader’s pack on the wall? Bartender: Oh, some wandering trader thought he could have his way with one of the girls. She beat him half to death with his own pack and tossed what was left out of the window. Without opening it first. That came out of her wages, let me tell you. Nope. Still not enough of a warning, unless the pack still has some blood and maybe a bit of skin on it.

As a frequent player of CRPGs in the sword-and-sorcery genre, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say a wine skin would not serve as much of a warning to me. Well, not unless you are looking to warn visitors to the tavern against bringing in their own beverages, which would be completely antithetical to the whole idea of going to a tavern in the first place and would make the tavern owner surly, to say the least. Because I am largely bloodthirsty, I’d say a scalp or perhaps a body part like a hand would serve as a better warning against touching the tavern girls. Anything else just seems to border on farce. “Oohh, see that sock on the wall? Stupid git touched one of the girls, and she walloped him so hard, he lost his sock, he did! So take my word for it, mate, unless you want your sock, or maybe even your breechclout hanging there for everyone to gawk at, no touching!”

You can search a subdomain by category, which will let you choose pairings in a category that has subcategories for pairings. As an example, in the Harry Potter subdomain, clicking on Search Archive and then on the Category dropdown field will show the various pairings as you scroll down. As for story tags, that has its own field as well, although it will only let you search for tags you want to read, rather than filtering out tags you might not care to read. I actually don’t recall us ever having the ability to filter out tags, to be honest.

I’m not the coder, or tag wrangler, but as one of the archive staff, I suggest for the time being you use the Fet (fetish) tag for those if you are the author. You could also make a note at the top of the chapter indicating the additional content if you feel it requires specific mention or clarification. Thanks!

The reason you can’t log in to the archive account (this is the wrong place for an archive issue, actually) is that you have two accounts with two separate email addresses. If you’re mixing up the email address and passwords, you won’t be able to get in. This is the url for your original account: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296854807 It uses a gmail account consisting of a three word name. This is the url for your new account: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1297008067 It uses a two word name gmail account, with a numerical suffix. We’ll need to do a couple of things. If you want to retain the original account, I will delete the new account, which has no stories posted under that url. If you need me to update the original account’s email address, I can do that as well. I would ask that you email me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org from the email address you want to use, to avoid spambots harvesting your information from this forum. You can always reach the archive moderators at the email address provided in the previous paragraph. I check that inbox throughout the day, and try to respond promptly, real life permitting.

Say it isn’t so! *sadface* There are no stories left, so I’ll delete the account for you.

I guess for me it really does depend on how necessary the detail is for the story. I tend to like to leave a good bit to the reader’s imagination, so if I’m talking about a male character in an everyday setting, I might mention that he wore a blue linen shirt, open at the throat and with the sleeves folded back, over a pair of tan chinos. (Yes, business casual, sorry...) It’s a pretty generic description, and the reader can imagine the shade of blue they like best, whether or not it’s a buttondown collar, if the tails are tucked in or hanging out, or if the chinos are pleated or flat-front. Now, if I was describing a bondage collar, I might say it had a black leather gorget, lined with silk, with a gleaming d-ring for a leash on the front, and so on. That sort of kit really does need more detail, in my opinion, if you have a certain position or image of the bound character that is crucial to the story. Or you can just go for the wrists tied to the headboard with an old school tie, or the belt from a bathrobe, if you want fast and dirty, and get teh characters naked as fast as possible to avoid having to describe clothing. Women’s clothing, unfortunately, tends to be ridiculously fussy when it comes to suggestive/revealing/sexy wear. The dress you linked above? It could be described as a clinging, highnecked sheath with cutouts down the front, or perhaps with strips of fabric criss-crossing her taut abdomen to reveal tawny skin. Google fashion sites, like Des suggested, and try to find ones with descriptions of the clothing to get an idea of ways to get it across to a reader.

Have you considered that this is George’s phone? Trust me, its web-browsing history is legendary. Rather like its spell check and predictive typing.

Thank you for the clarification.

Is this a challenge, or story request? If not, please note that story content is not permitted in the forum, and this post will be removed.

Shigure-san removed their works and account from AFF a couple of years ago.

Glad you were able to log in!

I’m showing an account that was created back in 2016: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296974258 If you’re trying to create a new account using the same email, the system will reject the new registration because the email address already exists in our system. If you no longer remember the password for the account, you can reset that. The instructions are in this FAQ: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/29620-how-to-reset-your-password/ If you run into issues resetting the password, please let me know, and we’ll see if we can resolve those for you.

Can you tell me the pen name for the account? It will help me locate you in the records of new registrations. Thanks!

Just in time for the holiday season, we're seeing an influx of spambots, on our Forum and in the Archive's review pages. Here's what you can do. If you see a spambot post in the Forums, click the little link at the top right corner of the post that reads "Report Post." The moderators will make it go away as quickly as possible. If there are multiple posts, report them all. You can leave a one-word report if you'd like, such as "Spam" or "Spambot" but it's not necessary. When we read the report, we'll know right away what the issue is. If you see a spambot review in the Archive, and you're the story's author, you can always delete it. If you're not the author, you can report the review using the "Report Review" link in the lower left corner of the review. It does help immensely, since these reports are delivered via email, to drop in that one-word report, but even if you don't, it's pretty easy to see those spambot reviews when the review board is accessed. What shouldn't you do? Don't click any links. Who knows where most of those links have been? For all we know, they could have taken a quick trip through the malware pool before landing on your screen. Practice safe surfing and don't click anything, especially when the post is in Cyrillic, or German, or some funky font of dubious provenance. We like our members and want you all to stay safe!

Starting on Friday, November 19, the weekly Dribs, Drabs & Doggy Tales Challenge is returning! You can find the challenge here, and the rules are here. For anyone who has participated in these challenges before, welcome back! For new members, these are a great way to refresh your skills, break that writer's block, and get to know some of the other authors on the site. We really hope you'll give it a try, and join in the fun!

One of the tricks to passwords is that they have to be between 8-12 letters and/or numbers. Any longer or shorter, and the password fails. If you use anything other than letters or numbers, the password fails—no punctuation or spaces or special characters are permitted. The password is also case-sensitive, so if you used a capital letter anywhere in creating the password, you must always use a capital letter. As far as the password reset, it could be as simple as clearing cookies for AFF. An old or corrupted cookie string can wreak all sorts of mischief. You might also want to make sure our email address is trusted by your email client, so we don’t wind up in the Spam or Junk folder.

Hi! First, I’ve moved this to a more appropriate thread, since Site Announcements is pretty much for our admins to make announcements about things like code updates and such. AFF is still very much an active archive. We have new members joining daily, new stories being posted, and we don’t plan on going away anytime soon. So, if you are interested in joining AFF, the place to start is by making an archive profile, which is a prerequisite for a forum membership. Both memberships are free to make, and free to use. We have some wonderful FAQs on how to create an archive profile, and what’s needed to join the forum. And of course, we’re happy to answer questions, either here in the General Staff Questions thread, or via email. You can reach us via email at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org and we’ll get back to you promptly.

This is an animated movie, and would more properly be placed in the Cartoons subdomain. It has been added here: http://cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org/index.php?cat=2076

There have been some spambots posting in the forums. I delete spam reviews as I encounter them while sweeping the archive.

Unless they have an email address publicly posted on their archive profile, there’s no way for you to contact them directly. We recommend using the forum to create a review reply thread, which is a much easier venue for authors to discuss reviews, and any story requests, with readers. Readers don’t need a forum account to read or post to those threads, although the author must have a forum account to create the thread.
