That’s possible… phones could be a form of communications portal… I like it!

I can’t remember if Diablo has the equivalent of the D&D mephits—wee demons that use various elemental attacks like fire, acid, electricity… I know Diablo 3 has those desert serpents that possess an electrical attack. Maybe they could be harvested to recharge things? Phones are just damned puzzling, though. I can’t really thing of an equivalent method of long-distance communication that works in a Diablo-like setting.

If we believe the plagiarism was a deliberate act of theft, we would delete the account entirely and ban the user. We take it quite seriously here, since it is theft of intellectual property, and illegal. In this case, I do believe there was a genuine confusion as to the definition of what constitutes a work in the public domain, which is why I’m not calling for account deletion and a ban. The member profile has been edited by me to remove any mention of sending in stories to be posted here on AFF. Other sites may allow members to post work written by other people, but we do not, as we clearly state in our Terms of Service. While we do allow stories based on works in the public domain, I rely on the standards discussed more in depth here to determine whether or not a work is indeed in that category.

Exactly. I’ll need to fix that as well, but not today!

Honestly, I’ve never understood why people think it’s okay to post someone else’s work to begin with, whether or not they thought it was free to use. I mean, the point of writing is to actually write something.

The plagiarized story and the misplaced story are gone. The Non-Fic tag has been removed from the first story since it’s placed in a fiction category.

Dear gods. Those are gone as well.

I’ve removed the stories listed above. If you find any more, please post them and I’ll be happy to remove them as well.

Both have been moved, and thank you!

The story, An Unwilling Submissive, along with all others by someonenotme was removed from the Internet.

That’s a good question. In this case, it was mostly a misunderstanding of what it means for a work to be in the public domain. There are a few criteria which need to be met, and these stories didn’t even come close to being in the public domain. With that in mind, I wouldn’t recommend the Hall of Shame just yet. But in cases where someone is deliberately stealing work and passing it off as their very own, I still recommend the HoS. It’s up to DemonGoddess, though, to enroll them.

Any stories which can be verified as having been taken from another author or which are not in compliance with our Terms of Service have been removed.

The links are not always reliable, but I’ve been able to parse out most of them. I have looking into this.

Thank you! I am always happy to help our members, really. That’s the best part of this job, in my opinion.

We do not give out contact information for our authors, but if you send an email to me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org, mentioning in the subject or body that you are trying to reach out to this author, I can forward the email to them. This way, they would have your contact information to reply directly, and spambots won’t read anything off this page.

If this is about a story you are reading, the author has used repeating characters, which cause text to fail to wrap around to the screen’s size frame. The author would need to remove those repeating characters (a letter or symbol to denote a break in the story is usually the culprit) to stop the text overflow. If you’re the author, open the chapter with the issue, and look for any instance of a repeated character, punctuation, or other symbol. Remove it and use (perhaps) the Rich Text Editor’s horizontal rule option to mark the break between scenes.

You can always edit the content of those fields from your Control Panel. Go to the subdomain, and you’ll see your story listed. Next to the title should be a grey click button that reads “Edit Story Info” which will take you to a new page with all the fields you filled in when posting the story. The content should be shown for each field within the field box, so you should be able to find what needs editing. Once you’ve made the changes you need to make, at the very bottom is another click button reading “Edit Story.” Click that to save your changes.

You’re very welcome!

You can use the link in this FAQ to get back to the reset password screen. Just remember: It must be between 8-12 letters and/or numbers, no punctuation or special characters, and it’s case sensitive. You also can’t reset it to the current password. You have to make a new one.

As a Diablo player, why not have the smartphone as an artifact, something which landed along with the angel (as per Diablo 3)? Holy artifacts are always a good way to explain tech..

I would need a story title or pen name for the author to be certain.

I would have to know what the email address is, and it’s probably safest all around to email me with that information. I’m not finding anything for a pen name matching your guest name. You can reach the staff via this email address: tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org

You’ll need to be a bit more specific. Which subdomain and fandom is the story for? Are you writing a story for this new category? We generally don’t create unique categories for something covered by a story tag. Furry content is covered under the Anthro tag – Anthropomorphic/Furries/Furry/Plushy/Plushophiles.

You can read about that in our FAQs, which our admins take a great deal of time to write: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/63122-how-to-find-the-author-id-and-story-id/
