I remember nylons. Not fondly, mind you, but I do remember them.  

Reminds me of an ancient joke I heard when I was a mere lad.
A young woman comes into an embroidery shop and asks the proprietor if they can do custom work on something delicate.  Asked what she means, she pulls a pair of nylons* out and says, “Up here at the top where it’s reinforced for the garter.”
Examining it, the owner says, “It’s kind of touchy but I think we could manage it.  What do you want it to say?”
“Something I saw on the back of a truck, ‘If you can read this you’re too close.’”
“Okay, would you like that in Roman or perhaps script lettering?”
“Braille.”
*I said it was ancient.

It'll be 11 years for me in June. Back then, I had written a Phineas and Ferb fanfic and asked folks on Inkbunny for recommendations of a good site to post it. Someone recommended AFF, and I've been haunting this place ever since.

21 years for me, as of May this year.

last december 30th was my 14th year here on here!! dang! seems like only yesterday i was just starting out! lol

By default, AFF creates a cookie every time you log in, if there isn’t one already stored. Perhaps not allowing cookies is the root of the problem? Our cookies aren’t trackers, but in the archive, they are created when you attest to being over 18, if I’m remembering correctly. (Not being a coder, I remain cheerfully mystified by the details...)

It turned to 13 years for me, in January.   And some five or six years that I’ve been serving as your inept forum moderator  

Okay, I’m just going to toss this out there, but have you cleared your browsing history and cache? And perhaps also the AFF cookies? Our cookies will reinstall when you visit the site, so that’s no problem, but sometimes cookie strings get corrupted, and browser history can store older versions of the site which might create display issues.

I stumbled into this, and realized… come April 5th, it’ll be a decade for me.  (Yes, I found the registration confirmation email in my inbox.)

Engage, Mr. Glass.

I posted my story with the proper tags, and a short description of what changes where made to the canon universe.
I think I'll keep doing that from this point forward.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

I have a tendency, when writing fan fiction, to take a fairly obscure character form canon and flesh them out, in essence creating a character where there was merely a placeholder. But as much as I create a back story, and use that obscure character in ways the original creator would never have anticipated, I always have it in the back of my head that this isn’t my character. It’s my perception of (or perhaps aspiration for) the original author’s work.
I think @Desiderius Price has a point in saying this is a step towards being able to write original characters for someone who hasn’t taken that leap before, much in the way writing fan fiction in general teaches the necessity of plot, and character arcs, and so on.
Now, from the moderation standpoint, many readers absolutely hate genderbent characters, or characters that are seriously out of character, which is why those tags do matter. Other fandoms make a cottage industry from swapping genders of main characters. Either way, as long as there’s a proper tag, readers are forewarned (if they stop to read the tags).

Readers reading the tags?  How quaint.

One of our members, Sessakag, has had the unfortunate experience of finding their story posted without permission on this site:  https://www.patreon.com/WhatIfFanfics/collections. 
The stories that have been used are largely in the Naruto fandom, although there are some crossovers as well. 
The worst part? It's behind a paywall. That's right--this plagiarist expects you to pay $10 to listen a story published by the actual author for free right here on AFF. See, that's the plagiarist's hook. These are AUDIO copies. Now, mind you, this plagiarist had their YouTube account suspended, most likely for the very same thing, but they don't seem able to learn their lesson.
If your story has been stolen, Patreon wants you to reach out to the "creator" on Patreon and ask them to be nice and take it down. If that doesn't work, they also suggest filing a DMCA takedown notice (https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/208377833). The catch is that you need a Patreon account to report the stolen content. However, the more times this thief is reported, the more likely it is that Patreon will be forced to take action.
I want to send a huge thank you to Sessakag for reporting this to us. Even if AFF can't tell Patreon how to run their site, we can be proud of our members, who respect the hard work put into creating the fan fictions we all enjoy.
 
UPDATE:
Patreon responded quickly to the DMCA request from Sessakag, and removed the story from the Patreon page, although the account hasn't been suspended. If you too have been a victim, please go and file that DMCA takedown notice with Patreon!
ANOTHER UPDATE:
It seems there are now YouTube videos where this person reads a story aloud, so they haven’t learned their lesson from the first YouTube suspension. If your story was used here, please report it and file a DMCA takedown request.

Or you can let the readers make their own interpretations, but of course, you give them a tiny clue in terms of not using the MCD tag…  

If the character didn’t die, then you don’t need the tag.
