  1. Still beating that dead horse, I see… Hey, everyone! You can find @nautiscarader on AO3 and tumblr. He just stops here to complain from time to time because we don’t let him link that in his stories, as per paragraph 3 of our Terms of Service (the same ToS he agreed to when he made his account): See, he’s exempt because he says so, and we’re too stupid to understand that. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima fucking culpa.
  2. I think Original – Misc works for this.
  3. It’s a good question! I’ve seen it with ellipses, which I think is probably a bit jarring as a reader. Honestly, from that perspective, I think I’d rather be told in advance that the speaker is grinding out each word between slaps, and let my imagination do the rest. I have seen it done in this manner: “Please ::slap:: Sir ::slap:: may ::slap::” and so on. That’s REALLY jarring, because by the third repetition of the “::slap::” thing, I’m ready to skip the whole sentence.
  4. We have a category in Books > Fairy Tales, Fables, Legends, Folklore and Myths > Myths

    Kushina's capture

    As far as I can tell, EMChaos hasn’t made an account here and I can’t find any indication of the staff here having removed that story under another account name. Sorry!
  6. At the top of this thread, and every search thread, you’ll find the following message: It’s not window dressing. We do not, and will not allow requests for hard copies of stories which have been removed.

  8. Hi! That’s a feature many of us would love to have, but at the moment, our archive code doesn’t incorporate that feature. What I do is list the story in my archive profile as a Currently Reading item, so I can at least find it quickly, and it moves to the top of my list when it’s updated. Alternatively, some authors maintain email lists for updates, and you can always see if that’s available, or they might use the Promote a Story thread which you can follow, and get email notifications that way.
  9. I believe this is the account: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/profile.php?no=1296770069 You can reset your password using this link: http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php It must be at least 8 letters or numbers long, and is case sensitive.
  10. I’m not sure why you can’t even email us. That’s beyond anything I’ve encountered, and the only reason I can think of is if you’re using a service provider who’s blocked adult sites, or US sites, or some such thing. Our code is proprietary, and can be a bit wonky, but our email has never been an issue. If you have an account on FFN, you can PM me there: BronxWench Or you can just type our email address into your browser. I’ve gotten a report this morning about the contacts links being broken, which is why those aren’t reaching us. Copy this from this post and paste it into the To: line of your email: tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org
  11. Hi! Sorry about the broken link, and hopefully our tech admins can get that fixed. In the meantime, you can email the details to us at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. Let us know any individual AFF accounts you have, or individual emails if you don’t have separate AFF accounts, the name for the joint account, and the email for the joint account. We’ll get that cleared for you as quickly as we can.
  12. That is the email address to reach AFF. You don’t Google it. If you aren’t able to email us, that would explain why you can’t create an account, because you need a valid, working email address to join AFF.
  13. This is an email address. Copy it and paste it into an email to reach me: tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. It’s not a link, which I can’t generate. This issue is most likely browser realted, but I also can’t clear your browser’s cache, history or cookies for you. I can only check to see if we have an account associated with your email address, but it’s not wise to post your private email address in this forum. If you email me, I can get your email address that way, and I can check, but that’s all I can do without some help on your end. I don’t have database access to check deeper, and I can’t resolve anything unless I know what’s been done so far by you. I know it’s frustrating. But we do need to eliminate the things we know cause problems before anything else. I don’t even know if you’re using a computer, or a phone, and that makes it so much harder to help.
  14. Let me try making a link for the email: tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org This way, I can check to see if there is any existing account associated with that email address.
  15. Okay, this works better if you use the format indicated in the pinned thread. Subdmain: Cartoons Category: Rick and Morty Do you have a story?: Yes
  16. Okay, let’s try a couple of things. First, what browser and operating system are you using? For example, I use Chrome on a PC running Windows 10, and both are the latest versions. Second, since you mention being a reader here for some time, have you tried clearing your browser’s cache, history, and AFF cookies? We have instructions on how to do that here for most browsers. A corrupted cookie string or out of date urls in your history and cache can cause a great many peculiar issues. You need to clear those, close your browser completely, and then restart the browser software. That should reset everything nicely. If all else fails, I ask that you email me with your email address. You can reach me at tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. I recommend not posting your email address here, since spam bots can read posts here and you do NOT want to encourage them.
  17. I’ve responded to your other thread, which might be better than tacking onto this thread. I have a feeling these will be separate issues.
  18. Are you trying to register for the forum or for the archive? Archive registration is required for forum membership, so that should be the first step. If it is the archive you’re trying to join, passwords must be at least 8 letters and/or numbers long. No special characters are allowed in passwords, and they are case sensitive, so if you use a capital letter anywhere in making the password, you always have to type it as a capital letter to log in.
  19. DemonGoddess061, our tech admin, has been insanely busy with her RL work, and that’s why the delay. Please be patient, and I’m sure she’ll add the category to the Television subdomain as soon as she gets a chance.

    I’m sure I’d say the same about half the crap the developers do to my favorite games. I still haven’t forgiven Bioware for screwing up their elves in the second Dragon Age game, not to mention the crappy repeating dungeons and the single ending no matter how you chose throughout the game. They’ve redeemed themselves with Inquisition, mostly, but still. I’ll wind up banned from cons if I ever run into David Gaider.

    Actually, what JJ Abrams does isn’t really fan fiction. Some franchises solicit written work, such as Star Trek, and Star Wars. Or take RA Salvatore, and his famous drow ranger, Drizzt Do’Urden, who is central to a series based on the Forgotten Realms lore copyrighted by Wizards of the Coast. There are quite a few authors licensed by WotC, and whose work is now part of canon. Of course the authors make money on their work. David Gaider, a writer for BioWare, also wrote a couple of novels based on the Dragon Age ‘verse. It’s not uncommon in some franchises, really, and I can guarantee those authors don’t consider what they do to be fan fiction.

    ::nods:: My Elderspawn mods heavily, but more for graphics and killer weapons and armor. I’m not a heavy user of mods myself unless I think the mod fixes what appears to be a plot hole or logic fail. And if David Gaider ever manages to write a decent romance, I’ll die of shock. As far as publishing goes, I’m sort of the horrible warning these days, since my publisher changed owners, and the new owners ran it into the ground. I’ve gotten my rights back, and I’m supposed to be cleaning up my manuscripts for republication, but there’s a few of us who’ve published, either via a press or self-publishing. Ask away, though, and I’m happy to answer!

    The legality of fan fiction is something of an ongoing debate. For now, it’s covered under the Fair Use provisions of the US copyright laws, as long as no profit is made (hence our insistence on disclaimers acknowledging the copyright and declaring no profit is made). While you can’t hold copyright on your fan fiction per se, we do hold that your Fair Use work is yours and yours alone, and so long as no profit is being made, the original copyright holder will probably never go beyond a cease and desist order should they decide fan fiction inspired by their work is a Very Bad Thing. But as far as passing around saved copies of fan fictions, we draw a very clear line here. We know it’s done, but AFF will not be a hub for that sort of thing, and I for one was exceedingly uncomfortable with AO3’s download feature and its format options. They have a not-for-profit with deep pockets and expensive lawyers behind them, however, so perhaps they’re okay with that risk. We don’t, and we’re not. I will also say there are some sites out there which archive work (especially HP-related fan fiction) without the permission of the author. We view those as pirate sites, and we won’t allow links to them in our search threads, no more than we’ll allow hard copies to be passed around. But Des is quite right about mods for games. A lot of game modders see their work incorporated into a game, and they don’t get a choice about that, but then again, if they’re consistently good, who knows? They might get a job. It’s much harder for a fan fiction writer to gain that level of respect (although I am still somewhat bemused by the fan fiction of a former fan fiction phenomenon...)
  24. Pretty much, since the story was plagiarized.
  25. We state quite clearly at the top of each search thread that we do not allow hard copies of stories to be circulated. Allowing attachments does not somehow constitute a loophole for that forum rule. You will note our forum administrator did not remove the links to the other online locations, because we do allow links to legitimate sites. It’s not all that difficult, really. Online links, good. Hard copies, bad.
