We can merge those for you! The newer account will be the surviving account, and I’ll get this posted for our tech admin. She’s been insanely busy with RL work, so b patient with us, please.

It happened to authors on FFN who I truly liked and respected, and while I know my protest hasn’t changed anything there, it was something about which I felt strongly enough to take a stand. I think what bothers me the most is the notion that it’s a victimless crime, whereas nothing can be further from the truth. It saps one’s confidence, and wears away at one’s spirit, and that is utterly unacceptable to me. We need to support each other, especially when we find the courage to put our writing out there for sale, when we create an original work and offer it. We’re not going to get rich, and most of us know that, but it is still so incredibly satisfying to see something for sale under our name, isn’t it?

Do PM me or email me. It’s always good to have that sort of information on record, in case we get a complaint about this person. For the record, we do investigate even subtle instances of plagiarism, and we do take action if we find there is sufficient reason to think someone’s intellectual property was used improperly. My personal belief is that even fan fiction, despite not being something a writer can profit from, is still very much the writer’s hard work and property aside from the copyrighted aspects of the fan fiction. I’m very sorry you’ve had to go through this. It’s unfortunate when fiction archives don’t treat plagiarism like what it is—theft of intellectual property, and a crime.

If this person has plagiarised in the past, odds are whatever they have posted here isn’t their work, either. As lead archive moderator, I’d greatly appreciate knowing this member’s pen name. If you don’t want to post it here, and it’s entirely understandable if you don’t, you can email us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org, or you can PM me over on FFN as well (since guests can’t use our forum PM system). I’m BronxWench over there, too.

The category and sub genre shouldn’t come up in the Currently Reading fields. Those only apply when uploading a story. But, what you’re describing as happening could also be caused by cookie issues. AFF uses cookies, and sometimes, over time, those cookies get corrupted. You can clear your AFF cookies in your browser, as well as your browser’s cache and history, and that acts as a reset. You’ll create a fresh cookie when you revisit each subdomain, and your profile, which may resolve your issue. In case you need the information, we have a FAQ on clearing your browser’s cookies, cache, and history here.

And once again, please note the statement at the top of the search thread: We are really not joking about this. Do NOT come to our search threads to solicit hard copies or email files of stories. Do NOT come to our search threads to post links to pirated copies of stories. We don’t mind you sending our readers to other legitimate archives, despite not being affiliated with any of them, but we draw the line at promoting theft of an author’s hard work, and that’s exactly what passing around copies is. If the original author did not post it on the Internet for all to read, it doesn’t belong on our search threads.

The reviews are harsh, yes. They don’t quite cross the line into flaming, but in case ANON decides to peek in on this thread, I’d like to ask one thing as lead moderator: ANON, you’re reading a fan fiction about game characters based on an anime. In other words, the story revolves around cartoon characters. Why on the good green Earth are you looking for sensibility? Can’t you just suspend belief and try to enjoy? If the answer is no, then let me point you to some other subdomains where you might encounter a larger dose of sensible reality… wait… oh! Perhaps the Non-fiction section of Originals. Aside from that, we’re all about the fiction here, sensible or otherwise. We’re also all about being adults, and the phrase, “Wow, what a retard” is hardly an adult way to begin a conversation. If you care to debate that point, PM me, Anon. I can do this talk all day long. I have a 22 year old and a 19 year old at home. Trust me, the topic is a hot one around here. Hide_My_Sins, I strongly recommend setting your account to block anonymous reviews in future to avoid future visits from those who don’t have the courage of their convictions and won’t leave their pen name with a review.

Check the very first field, for the subdomain. I just tried my own Currently Reading, and it reset a Lord of the Rings story to Anime. It’s a dropdown field, so you can scroll through the list to the correct subdomain. For the record, I have NO idea why that changes on an edit, but that was what I saw on my account.

I’m always happy to read a chapter for you!

Cordelia Kingsbridge pulled all her stories from the Internet for publication.

Count me in, with details to follow!

If the setting is unique, then you’d need to disclaim that doujinshi as one of the fandoms along with Naruto, so something like: “I don’t own Naruto or Futago, and I make no profit from this story.” The idea of genderbending clothing isn’t particularly unique, so that’s not an issue. Dungeons & Dragons has belts of gender change, just as an example, and I know it’s been done in various other books, games and anime.

Are you using characters and/or the ‘verse from the source material? If so, you’d need permission from the creator of the source material to use their work as a starting point for yours. We’d need that permission directly from them, emailed to us to avoid any appearance of plagiarism. If you’re using the imagery as a jumping off point, simply as inspiration, and nothing will be used from the source material in your story, it’s fine.

Thank you for the report. The tags have been updated to include anything required by content.

We really do need you to follow the procedures for this section of the forum. You can find the format here, and you should start a new thread to list the story or stories to be adopted. While we appreciate many of the threads are old, we still need to follow the proper format so all the relevant information is available in one place. Otherwise, it’s just too hard to go back and forth when we need to transfer ownership of a story. Thanks!

If CL isn’t reading or isn’t available, send the scene to me, and I’ll check. But even if the corpse is present, and gets a bit of evidence on it, I don’t think it qualifies as Nec since no one is actually having any sexual contact with the corpse itself deliberately.

Nope, not unless a corpse joins the fun.

You’ve hit the nail on the head as far as Clegane, I think. I can see him having that small remnant of what constitutes manners in Westeros, despite how much he loathes most of polite society (I harbor a suspicion he genuinely liked Arya and did not loathe Sansa). But among the wildlings, women are as fierce as the men, as Ygritte proved, and they take what they want just as easily, as Jon Snow learned.

I can assure you the story is not in our records for a current infraction. I’m going to reiterate what Pittwitch said above. You should copy the chapter to your Notepad or Wordpad or whatever quick text program you have prior to posting. If you’re working from a mobile device, there are free text programs available for Android and iOS which will emulate Microsoft Word and allow you to keep a backup of your chapter. You can also access Google Drive from an Android device, which would let you save your work and access it from any of your devices. I’m also going to point out this bit of our Terms of Service: “You understand that while AFF makes every attempt to ensure no loss of data occurs, that AFF is not responsible if data is lost or corrupted. You agree that keeping a copy of your work is your personal responsibility.”

That’s a good idea, actually!

DG is insanely busy, and understaffed as the hells at work.
