MeLovesYaoi removed all stories from AFF some time ago.

The first thing I always suggest is that you check your Spam or Junk folders to see if we’re being redirected there. Anything with “adult” in the address often gets shunted by the email provider, or your Internet service provider if you use them as your email provider. Adding us to your address book or contacts list helps keep us out of the spam folder. If that’s not the issue, you might want to review your forum profile settings for notifications. Those are actually a great deal more involved than the archive’s Yes/No options, and you may be able to resolve the issue by updating your settings. If none of that applies, or helps the issue, @Melrick (our Forum Administrator) might be able to offer more assistance.

Oh, I do hope it worked. This used to be simpler, really… but if it doesn’t work for you, we can ask DemonGoddess061 to make the change in the database directly. You would need to email her directly at technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org. She’s the only one who accesses that email address. We’ve been having issues with Hotmail, Outlook and Live email addresses. Microsoft hates us.

Hi, @Nightwing You can reset your password from your Control Panel, but that seems to be having certain technical issues, especially with certain email providers. Yours might be okay, so give it a try and if you have issues, let us know.

It’s all well and fine for you to post that, but I need BladeofHell56 to give that permission in writing, via email directly from him (not you or any other potential writer) to my staff email at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. Without that written permission, we won’t allow the story in the archive.

Formans Familia by Michally was taken down by the author from every site where they had posted it. We ask that if anyone has a copy, they do NOT offer it here. We respect the author's wishes to have the story removed, and ask that our users do the same.

If you’re using any elements of BladeofHell56’s story, I will expect written permission from BladeofHell56, delivered to the staff email address, giving clear consent. Otherwise, the stories will be deleted from the archive. I’ll quote from our Terms of Service for you: “You understand that when posting User Submissions, you are stating that any work submitted under your User Account is your own personal work and has not been in any part copied or plagiarized from any source. Furthermore, you understand that you are not to post anyone else's work without the express permission of the original copyright holder unless said work is part of Public Domain.” While futas in Naruto are nothing new, the concept of rare non-futa characters as presented in BladeofHell56’s story is unique enough to warrant permission to use it.

It’s never a bother, and I’m happy you’re able to access everything again!

If this is you, then it was the Microsoft email you used, the Live.com email. We can update that email address for you, or if you can still log in to the old email account, you can edit it yourself in your Control Panel. If you want us to update it, I’d suggest emailing us with the correct address to use. This forum is public, and spambots can harvest email addresses posted here. You can reach us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org.

Whatever the issue it, it appears to be happening to users who have Hotmail, Outlook, or Live.com email addresses. So far, I’ve not heard of any resolution, other than to reinforce my refusal to trust Microsoft to get anything right these days.

Any real person who would appear in the public venue, like a politician, sportswriter, musician, chef, YouTube personality, et cetera falls under the “Celebrity” umbrella. I’ll add that in that subdomain, we are scrupulous about tagging, since the stories involve real persons. Because there is always the possibility that a friend or family member could come across the story, our disclaimer requirements are very specific as well. You can find those here: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/3560-what-is-needed-in-a-disclaimer/

There’ve been a few things since we amended the code to make the site more mobile-user friendly, and not all of them have been as functional as we non-mobile device users would like. I don’t know if DemonGoddess still needs to runs that daily query or not, but I’ll alert her and see what she can tell us.

Can you give me the pen name, or the url, so I can take a look?

Given that the 12-16 week period fell in the holiday season, I’d give them to the middle of March. At that point, I’d poke them for a decision.

I’m not finding anything here on AFF for that name. It’s not surprising, since I’m assuming it was a false name used for the purpose of stealing other people’s work. However, if you find out anything more, please let me know. As a published author, I really, REALLY dislike thieves. Pulling your work does feel like letting the bad guys win, at least to me. It’s ultimately your decision, of course, but I’m rooting for you to keep your stories up.

The sad truth is that there is no way to prevent someone from copying a story. Other sites such as FanFiction.Net have tried various methods to prevent copying of stories but we’ve found stories posted here that were copied from that site. Archive Of Our Own provides download links, which certainly doesn’t help matters. We’ve been asked why WE don’t have those links, and the answer is that we don’t like plagiarists. What we can do here is remain vigilant. If you want to give me what information you have regarding the person who stole your story and sold it on Amazon, I can certainly look into whether they have an account here or not. You can email that to tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org, and I will investigate it promptly.

Aside from the age restriction, there’s no reason you can’t write a celebrity-based fiction as dark as you want. We’ve had some pretty dark celebrity-based stories on AFF, and I will confess that the ONLY time I’ve walked away from a story in tears on this site was a celebrity-based story, very early in my tenure as a moderator here. It was dark even by my standards, and I enjoy dark themes. Now, for the second part...my recommendation is that you post that link only once in the review thread here, but most definitely NOT in the story itself. Since the story can also be posted here, you can always chat about it on our forum, and our review reply threads are open to readers even if they don’t belong to the AFF forum.

AFF is mobile-friendly, but I would strongly recommend downloading a free app for word processing like Google Drive, to allow you to properly save your word. You can copy and paste from pretty much most word processing software into AFF’s Rich Text Editor, tweak the format a bit, and publish from a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. While you could write directly in the Rich Text Editor, it doesn’t have the ability to save your work, and if the program closes before you actually publish the story, it’s lost. For more information, you can try this FAQ: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/63417-how-to-upload-a-story/ (As an update, the recaptcha is no longer required, which makes it even simpler to post that story.)

My personal feeling is that it’s better to name both fandoms. While it’s the same overarching ‘verse, there’s enough of a difference to support disclaiming both specifically by name.

That may have done it. I have to admit, I’m not as versed in Android as I should be. I’ll remember this for next time I get a question, though, so thank you!

I’ve no idea why it worked, but I’m glad it did!

Crows. Ask Elderspawn about the sea of crows in the parking lot. Definitely all my fault, that one was.

Let’s see. NOT a stupid question at all, and here’s why. My Poor Bastard pair of stories was originally posted as Original work, although it relies quite heavily on Greek mythology. So, when I reposted them, I moved them over to Books, under “Fairy Tales, Fables, Folklore, Legends, and Myth” to be more accurate. So, I’d be inclined to recommend this go in Books, under The Bible (which is not a title in the public domain because various editions remain copyrighted although I’m pretty sure the copyright on the individual chapters expired long before I got that first pair of killer shoes). Even with a cast of OCs, it’s still the Bible, and let’s face it, people like to have things properly categorized so they can flip out about someone making light of their beliefs (which doesn’t seem to be an issue when I poke at Zeus and Hera, although I do tend to stay inside during thunderstorms).
