[The Use of Profanity in Writing Sex Scenes]

45 minutes ago, Desiderius Price said:

Of course, swearing (or even talking) likely means they’re not really having sex, not yet, so is that actually part of the sex scene?

Some people talk during sex. Seriously. To my mind, it means you’re not doing it right, but your mileage may vary.

But getting back on topic, it is definitely true that profanity in the correct spots can actually enhance the effectiveness of an attempt at communication, but too much shows not only articulation inadequacies but literacy inadequacies as well.

It’s definitely contextual. If I’m writing something set in a modern setting, with rough characters, there will be swearing. If it’s more of a gracious setting, the swearing might be replaced with more elegant language but conveying the same intent. Of course, if I go for ancient Rome and the legions, those lads swore like mad (which could be my favorite part of Latin, come to think of it).

[Formatting problems with newlines/paragraphs]

Hi, all.

For what it’s worth, I just copy and paste from MS Word into the AFF editor box.  Sometimes, I have to fix a paragraph here or there, but nothing like you’re going through.

Good luck.

Same thing for me. MS Word works just fine for me, with almost no tweaking needed after I copy and paste.

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

I honestly haven’t used Firefox in years, because it was always a resource hog. (It might have gotten better, but I’m used to Chrome now and I hate change.  )

But, having said that, there should be an add-on or extension that would let you read sites using Java. In Chrome, I open Settings and there’s a link for Extensions right there.

I tend to post as I go, which might mean a serious wait for my next update if it’s not a one-shot.

[Missing punctuation in story summaries]

1 hour ago, GeorgeGlass said:

I’m still having the problem of punctuation being replaced with numbers. As a result, one of my recent stories is titled “I39m Not Who I Used to Be” on this site.

We have an ongoing issue with punctuation in story titles and summaries. I’m unable to correct it for our members myself, which suggests this is a script/code issue. Hopefully, @manta2g will be able to address that when she has the time. The black diamond issue is something else entirely, however. 

[Ugh, I just went and outlined a whole other story]

I tend to have a couple of WIPs going at one time. It’s just how my brain works, I think. I’ve never been good at the linear thing when it comes to writing.  

[Missing punctuation in story summaries]

3 hours ago, Guest Snowecat said:

I don't know if they've fixed it yet but any story I look at now has little diamonds with question marks inside them where punctuation should be.  It's been like that for several YEARS, which was a major turn-off for this site.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

We have a FAQ about this issue:   https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/64151-how-to-fix-the-black-diamond-issue/

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

Let’s hope @manta2g can solve this because you should have that link like I do. I can’t see a profile setting that turns that on or off, at least not in my profile.

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

Yes, that’s default. What do you see for the top?

 

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

What Forum theme are you using? It showed for me on the Dynamic theme as well, and I think it’s the default or Dynamic as our only options for the moment.

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

Nope. On the Forum homepage, right above the latest status update, is the link:

Then you type in your message and click “Submit.”

 

[How do people make "profile status updates"?]

You just click on the sentence that reads “What’s on your mind?” above the status updates, at the top of the column. That opens a window which will let you type in whatever you want, and lets you add emojis that will display when it’s read.

The correct format is YYYY-MM-DD. If a month or day is a single digit, add a “0” in front.
