I’ve emailed you—I think I have the answer for you.

It looks like the Google Play Store axed it, probably due to complaints. But, yeah, it’s amazing how many people will download something like this. How hard is it to just go to AO3? They must have a mobile version by now. Even we do at AFF, and ours works, based on the number of “butt-dial” reports I get in the staff email.

So, a good friend alerted me to this app, available from the Apple App Store. (The Google Play link returns as a 404, so Google may have taken this app down.) But, from the developer’s own words: Link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fanfic-pocket-archive-library/id1047221122 The friend who alerted me says AO3 isn’t willing to do anything, but they have requested a takedown for their stories that were scraped and published in the app’s library. Let’s see how that goes. Now, here’s my little rant. The app provides for an optional monthly subscription service, and as we all know, the idea of making money IN ANY FASHION from fan fiction violates copyright law, vis-a-vis the Fair Use Act provisions by which we all get to write our fan fictions. The developer asking for “tips” is also a clear violation of Fair Use, in my opinion. It’s why we don’t allow Patreon or other self-funding services to be linked on AFF’s archive. (Obviously, AO3 has a more generous interpretation of the law than I do, but then again, they have a deep-pocket not-for-profit backing them, and a legal team for when issues arise, so take that for what you will.) I took my stories off AO3 some time ago because I find their moderation uneven and biased, so I might not have a dog in this particular fight, but it’s worth sharing, I think, in case any of our authors want to check for their works posted on AO3, and scraped by this app.

I’ve updated your email address, so if you use the gmail account for the password reset, it should work for you.

I’ve tagged our tech admin to see if she can shed any light on the password issue. I’m not a coder myself, and I have no direct access to the database to review or amend passwords. We limit that level of access very strictly for security reasons, which I hope everyone will understand and support. The only thing I can do is to update an email address, which might resolve some of the password reset issues. We’re seeing the problem primarily with accounts using a Microsoft email client: Hotmail, Outlook, or Live.com. Once the password is successfully reset, you will have full access to the account, and can even revert back to the Hotmail address if you prefer it.

Are you using Hotmail, Outlook, or Live.com as well? Every bit of information helps us in trying to identify and correct issues.

At the very top should be a dropdown for the subdomain where the story is posted. It may be defaulting to Anime, which would be why you are getting an error, unless the story is in the Anime subdomain. It’s frustrating to have it default to Anime when you’re only editing, I agree.

I am not an Opera expert, but I think you might need to add a Chrome extension to allow for text encoding changes. It used to be in Opera’s View > Text Encoding menu, but that was eliminated some time ago. Opera now uses Chrome extensions for that function. Hopefully we have actual Opera experts who will chime in as well, if I’m mistaken.

I’ve no idea why it’s happening, but I suspect it’s to do with the Hotmail email address. Microsoft tightened its security for its email clients after last year’s breach, and it’s had the unfortunate side effect of creating havoc for us. Our hosting company had taken steps to resolve the issue, but if Microsoft made any new tweaks, we may be back to issues again. Hopefully @DemonGoddess can shed some light on this, since she is the tech admin, and far more savvy.

Is this the link you are using? I’ve been able to reset myself with this link: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php Just a few reminders about passwords; they need to be between 8-12 letters and/or numbers long, no punctuation or special characters, and they are case sensitive.

The issue with the Hotmail email addresses should be resolved. As far as logging in, where is the problem? Is it a forgotten password? If so, I’ll need to have our tech admin check that for you, since I can’t access the database directly to see passwords.

Since we seem to have a troll using this thread to behave in a manner unbecoming, and I have absolutely no patience left for Internet trolls, I’m locking this thread.

We have a FAQ for that: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/63121-how-to-use-search/

Is this a story of yours? If so, and you’re looking to publish it to AFF as well, we’d need to know the appropriate subdomain and fandom (if applicable) for the story before we’d even consider making a category. If the story is not yours, we’d prefer to have this request come from the actual author.

I’m showing you as last logged in today at 03:18:57 GMT-6 (which is the time zone for our hosting company). I’m not sure why you need to update the account, since you’re up to date as far as the archive code changes. If you are resetting your password, remember that it must be letters and/or numbers ONLY—no punctuation, special characters or other symbols. It must be at least 8 letters and/or numbers long, but no more than 12. And if you do use letters, the password is case sensitive, so anything you set as a capital letter must always be a capital letter. You also need to log in with the same email address that was used to make the account, and not with your pen name. That’s what our software looks for, and it’s got to be an exact match.

I’ll refer you to this post: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/67980-what-happened-to-the-chemist/?do=findComment&comment=426162 So far, it looks like TheChemist hasn’t been able to recover that story/

Is this your account? http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296958580 I’m not showing multiple registrations for the email address associated with the account. Are you certain you’re using the correct email address to log in? I would suggest you NOT post any email addresses here, on a public forum where spambots can find it. You can email me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org to confirm the email address confidentially.

I’m showing one account under that pen name and associated email address, but for some reason, the account is marked as pending. I do not have the access required to see why the account is showing as pending, but I can ask @DemonGoddess to look and let me know what’s going on.

I’ve sent you an email to the address we have on record for you. Thanks to spambots, I prefer not to post email addresses here on the forum.

And because the Season of the Scam is upon us again, MalwareBytes has a very good article on their blog: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2019/11/sextortion-scammers-getting-creative/
