From a personal standpoint, I’d love to have an update feature that sends me an email. But from the other side of the issue, I also know it’s not as easy to code in features as people think because we’re working with what’s become a custom piece of coding in the archive. We can’t simply add in features we like, as we can do in the forum, because there’s no library of features for us to browse. Our coder has to write something that will work with the rest of the code seamlessly, and that’s not always possible. In a perfect world, i.e., one in which I win a huge lottery, I’d give AFF the money to purchase a brand new, super powerful package for the archive, and hire lots of minions to carefully migrate the databases to the new package. The reality is that we’re all volunteers running this place on a shoestring budget which barely covers the cost of hosting the archive. There isn’t anything left for buying software. We do amazingly well with what we have, though, I think.

I did download the mod to let my male Wardens romance Alistair… And in Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dorian. That’s all I’m saying.

I sort of expect my Games fandom stories to not get reviews. I don’t write for “popular” games, and that’s fine. But in posting order, with hits/reviews: Alchemy: 1086/ 16 Samahlen (combined one-shots): 22260 / 105 Stormborn: Book 1: 3103 / 7 Stormborn: Book 2: 949 / 0 In Lord of the Rings, I have a co-authored work, writing with the inestimable Pippychick: The Lost and the Hidden City: 1430 / 4 And my Originals: Almost Home: 358 / 4 Special of the Day: 513 / 4 Harrison Winter: 1109 / 4 The Accident: 270 / 3 Play It Safe: 452 / 5 Missing: 623 / 3 Compassion: 799 / 2 Culloch’s Rest: 2640 / 36 Hazardous Duty: 706 / 7 Hunting Elysium: 700 / 6 The Brownstone: 371 / 3 First Step: 973 / 6 Indigo: 520 / 4 Punch Line: 784 / 4 A Good Morning’s Sleep: 596 / 6 The Scapegoat: 1540 / 2 Surrender: 1190 / 5 Masking Intentions: 1780 / 19 Buggered if I know why some get more than others…

I was sort of rooting for the kangaroo to make a goal…

My fanfictions are game-based for the most part—Neverwinter Nights and Dragon Age, to be specific. So, in essence, my player character is a form of OC to begin with, since I decide how the PC will respond over the course of the game. It’s not a huge leap to turn that into fanfiction, especially when I think the writers for the game were short-sighted, or narrow-minded. I do try to keep major canon characters in character, but there are always those less-explored non-player characters who catch my attention, and I won’t promise not to write them a full back story, and drop them into a few twists of my own devising…

We are not affiliated with Literotica or any other fiction archive. We enforce our rules on our site, and that’s all.

When warranted, we do ban former members. The repeal of net neutrality, if and when it actually happens, will not have any effect on our policies and procedures. The age verification page you reference was not an absolute method of ensuring new members were of legal age, and we have always done independent verification. Our methods work, as evidenced by the original poster’s protests over being caught out yet again.

We are an age-restricted site. That means, from a legal standpoint, that we are required to make every effort to check the ages of anyone joining our site. We also have, like every other website, Terms of Service, which are the rules governing the use of our website. We enforce those Terms of Service, unlike many other websites, and we state very clearly, in a number of places, that we are an actively moderated site. For anyone who actually bothers to read the Terms of Service, we make sure they know we monitor all activity on this site. And yes, in order to do that, we maintain records of all actions we take, and of all infractions for which we issue a warning. That is prudent, and good practice. It is entirely unlikely that we are making any mistake in terms of identifying you. We are well aware of the previous email addresses, previous pen names, previous user names, and other unique identifiers you have used while interacting with our site. We are not unique in collecting this information. You are however free to disagree, and you are free to post your work elsewhere.

I am quite sure the Forum Administrator had good reason for any ban. It may have been related to prior activity on AFF, since we do keep quite thorough records on prior accounts requiring deletion.

That sounds like an application for a position as one of my moderators. If the author doesn’t remove all of their stories in the said story-universe once published, either they have an extremely lenient publisher, or they’re taking a radical approach to marketing themselves. But since they are the author of the original world, the work remains in Original Fiction. Any fan fiction based on that original work goes to the Books subdomain, in the category for that particular work or series. Clear as mud?

Good question! “Dom” implies dominance outside a consensual relationship, while “D/s” indicates a consensual Dominant/submissive relationship. Or at least that’s how I’ve always interpreted it.

I do agree that once you start writing to someone else’s style, it’s not your work anymore, really. And it feels awful to be told how to write your own work. I am going to make a confession here. When I was brand new to publishing my work, as opposed to not so new which is where I am now, I let an editor talk me into major changes to a novel. It was her style, not mine at all, but she assured me it would work, and my book would sell, even if I felt like I no longer quite recognized one of my main characters. She was enthusiastic, and I know she meant well, but… I wasn’t really happy with the changes although the novel went out with them. Long story short, that publisher went under, and I’m now working with a new publisher to get the books back out there. The first thing I did was strip all those edits from the second novel. Every. Last. One. I’m enormously happier, and I finally am beginning to feel some enthusiasm for continuing the series, since I have my character back. Oh, and I scrapped the contractions in narrative. Not my style at all unless I'm writing first person POV (which I only do when seriously tipsy… :D) My response to the reviewer would be along the line of thanking them for the review, and suggesting perhaps they try their hand at writing a story in their style, since the world needs more writers. Or something pleasant to start with, anyway. I prefer to try being nice first, but that’s me, and my definition of nice varies depending on the situation.

Or you can read it here on AFF: (Bound by) Clandestine Addiction by Shigure-san

I honestly don’t think so, although I’d darken it in a heartbeat myself.

I’m glad it worked out, and welcome to AFF!

I’m not seeing multiples of a story in the HP subdomain, so that’s not the issue. I just did a test post myself to make sure there wasn’t an issue, and was able to post successfully. Are you using any HTML code in any of the fields?

Any sexual content involving a real person under the age of 18 is completely out. That’s just not negotiable in any way, shape, or form. That includes flashbacks to explicit matter in the real person’s past, whether fictional or not. Now the slippery slope… what about the other characters? As far as AFF’s official position, if the underage character is clearly fictional, there is no legal prohibition and therefore no concrete reason for us to object, other than perhaps good taste (although that is my personal distaste for the entire genre of celebrity fiction showing, I fear). Because we are dealing with real persons, I am very conservative, and would strongly recommend you not place any real person in the position of committing fictional pedophilia. I’m quite sure most celebrities are uncomfortable enough with most of the fan fiction about them, explicit or otherwise, but crossing that line might be a bit too far for their legal and public relations people. If you’re writing about real persons of your acquaintance, I’d hazard a guess you might be ending friendships and/or relationships. There is the additional consideration of not knowing who might see the story. If it’s sent to a minor, or a family member of the real person...ouch. And it has happened to one of our authors with a RPF they thought was deleted. So, the short answer? If the underage character is not real, it’s not prohibited, but we moderators do read those with a fine tooth comb (and a large whiskey at hand) and we will err on the side of caution.

Thank you! That made my day!

This one isn’t long enough for paperback editions, but the second book should be offered in print as well. That one’s in editing now.

Hi, We’ve had a few updates to the archive software since you last visited, and you will need to revalidate your account. We have a FAQ which explains it right here. You’ll need to use the same email address associated with the account in order to revalidate, and once you’ve done that, you will be able to reset your password, and you should be able to access everything again. If you do run into issues, you can post here about what’s gone wrong, or if you need to verify the email address we have on record, you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. (I’d recommend NOT posting email addresses here because it invites spambots.) I hope it goes smoothly for you, but as I said, let us know if you run into any problems with the revalidation, and we’ll help sort it out.

We have a few authors using Blackthorn as a pen name. but none of them have posted stories. The story ID isn’t showing up in my records, either, so my best guess here is that the author themselves removed the story. I’m sorry I couldn’t find anything more definitive.

Do you have the url for the story? I can try to find out what happened, but checking by title doesn’t show any staff action in connection with that story.
