  2. Log in won't work for me?

    Posted · Edited by Dean_Wax

    I nuked my cookies.

    I cleared my cache and offline data.

    Restarted my computer.

    Went to http://www.adult-fanfiction.org/html-index.php#

    Tried to log in with my password (as far as I know) – nothing. No successful login, no error message, it just does nothing.

    Tried to log in with Defintely Not My Password or even a possible password (just 4 random characters) – still no error message.

    Reset password at http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php. Opened the email it sent me, clicked the link – no ability to reset my password, all I see is the error “This Password Reset is no longer Valid”

     

    There really doesn’t seem to be anything more I can do. Is my password blanked? Why is it impossible for me to reset? Is there a way to manually reset it from your end? Is it some kind of bug that the login box isn’t doing anything at all even when a wrong password is entered? I’ve been on the archive since 2012, I really don’t want to lose my account.

    Yeah, I cleared my cache the last times I tried it. I just tried it again, and no change.

    Given that I get the exact same thing in Edge and on my phone, I don’t understand how it’s a Firefox problem?

    I am using http://members.adult-fanfiction.org/reset.php, it sends me the email to reset my password just fine, it’s when I click on the URL the email gives me to reset it always says “This Password Reset is no longer Valid”. I must have tried about… ten times now? It can’t be a timeout issue – the email arrives and I click the link in under 60 seconds.

    At this point I’m not even sure what my password is any more (if I even have one) because I nuked the saved login from my browser’s password manager. The fact that it’s also impossible to reset is concerning to me because it’s effectively rendered my account completely inaccessible. I have no idea what’s going on.

    DG, can you please give me some more detail? Because I swear on my life that I’ve nuked all the cookies and restarted Firefox twice now, and I still can’t log in and every time I try to reset my password, it just tells me that the password reset link is no longer valid. I’ve combed through every inch of the settings in Firefox 51.0.1 and I’m not seeing any other settings related to what you’re telling me to do. How do I force a complete logout?

    I’ve also tried logging in using Microsoft Edge – exact same issue as I’m having with Firefox. Can’t log in, can’t reset my password. I’m getting a bit distressed now.

    I think I might have done the same thing as newkitty (i.e. reset my password to the same old password without realising it and now I can’t log in on any device) but now when I try to reset it again to something different, every email just says ‘This password reset is no longer valid’ even though I open it and click the link within seconds of the email arriving in my inbox?

    It's a wonderful piece and has me perfectly in suspense as to where it's going to go. I was not at all predicting, from the initial setup, the turns it would take to get here--it's been a magnificent trip so far. The beginning of it actually had me thinking of the French horror film "Livide," which I heartily recommend if you've not seen it. - from Wirevix on Aure

    Thank you very much for your reviews! My eyes went all saucery when I read them. I don't think I can adequately describe the validation I feel when even just one person enjoys my stories, except maybe with that sentence.

    Also, never forget that I am something of a prankster and haha, oh man, you don't even wanna know how far down this rabbit hole goes. My house still hasn't started yet, though I was able to choke out some chapters over christmas, but once I have my own space I hope to write at the same pace I had in 2012/2013.

    Also, thank you very much for recommending Livide. I am going to save it for Sunday.

    I suppose maybe I'm a bit odd myself, but I actually deeply enjoy the huge amounts of uncertainty that result from having no idea who is telling their subjective truth versus who is telling the factual truth--the fuzziness from everyone's unique brands of utter madness gives rise to all sorts of possible interpretations in my head, to the extent that I'll almost be sad if/when one truth is confirmed over the others.- from Wirevix on Wailing

    Yes! Yes, actually. Some characters do lie. It's harder for the narrating ones to lie, but they do have biases that leads them to misinterpret events.

    I wanted to continue reading this story, i really did. But the writing style of everyone taking random chapters and telling everything through their personal point of view is just confusing. i actually have to read half a chapter before recognizing who is the charater. Its exhausting. from lavi1443 on Wailing

    It's a shame you feel that way, but everyone has different tastes. The construction is on purpose - Wailing is not a stable story and these are not stable characters. You might like Aure better (most people do) but eventually, by which I mean years from now, Wailing is going to have information required to understand how the events in the different stories link together, including Aure.

    Just read Aure, and liked it very much.

    Take Leonardo and make him grow up in such an environment and you have one genial monster.

    Althrough I don't consider Aure one, meaning monster. He only pushed back.

    Creepy kid definitely. Desensitized yes. But not cruel. At least not yet.

    I hope to see more of this character. It's one that remains with you long after reding.

    Thank you!

    Well, most of my characters are at least partially monstrous, but I have made it fairly easy to cut Aure some slack because his crimes and prejudices are products of his trauma.

    You'll see more of him, but not for quite some time because I probably won't pick up writing again until 2015. However, he is a pretty central character in the story arc and as I contuinue to flesh out more of his future in my notes, he is not as cruel as I originally intended him to be, although he remains quite cold.

  14. Visual Novel Freeware

    Someone at work told me about Ren'Py today, and I got starry eyes. The website appears heavily targeted towards the anime crowd, but I'm more gaga for the fact that it's a flexible piece of software that allows you create visual novels with novice level scripting experience. And it's freeware?

    *whispers* I can make so many things *_*

    Definitely playing around with this on the weekend.

  15. What women (and men) want...in their fiction

    in Personal Rants & Journals

    Posted

    I put it to you that if a female does dislike rape content in your stories, she has been socially conditioned not to state it in a review and to instead just abandon reading it without confrontation. This may be why it has not occurred yet - although I'm sure if you exposed it to a large enough number of females it would be inevitable that would would comment against it, but don't forget that all stories on this site are very clearly tagged and if a woman doesn't want to read rape, she won't.

  16. Is there an point where story content is not accepteble?

    in Legal Questions/Debates

    Also, another reason not to draw those lines we're talking about: some people write about these things so they don't end up actually doing them.

    So, you're saying someone spends hours cultivating highly eroticised smut about smearing his semen on an infant (almost always writing in that the infant has feelings of acceptance/compliance/enjoyment on the infant's part) and then posting it on a popular site on the internet where it gains readership of other like-minded individuals, forming a peer group of paedophiles who enjoy sexualising exploiting one of the most defenceless examples of humanity.

    ... just so they don't do it real life. Sorry, but that reeks of excuse-making, and is lightyears from being accurate when you take into account that they have posted the work publicly on a site that houses masturbation material. When these people form online bonds they aren't commiserating about their mental illness or hypothetically discussing how not to violate a toddler (usually the exact opposite). They congratulate one another for their work, declaring it a unique fetish that's just so misunderstood rather than what it is, and what it is is disgusting paraphillic psychopathy.

    I have nothing but a callous contempt for these people.

    I decided to take a look at some of your work and Candy Hearts was the one that stood out to me the most! I was JUST about to ask was this some sort of parody from the school names alone but decided to see if you had answered that here. You did; lol! I'll definitely have to save this so I'm able to read more whenever I have the extra time. I know that this was set up for questions but I just wanted to give you a comment; I don't have any questions as of right now!

    Thank you! I am glad my constructions borne of bitterness can bring joy to others. ;D

    I just read Aure. Please tell me you will be writing more. I don't think I can get enough of Aure. What an interesting character. I do feel sorry for him.

    I did not quite understand the last chapter. How much does he know why he exists? He is something else..

    Yes, but I'm working on a Wailing chapter right now. I will get all of the things done, just... slowly.

    Right now, Aure knows as much as others have told him. He doesn't yet have the means to do his own investigating. Patience, my sweet.
