Plot bunnies breed, they’re always breeding. It may be legal issues. AFF is hosted in the US which has the first amendment, other countries aren’t so lucky. Even in the US, you’ve got busibodies sticking their noses into other people’s websites and try to censor via court/legal-threats when they see it (ie, why bother with parental oversight when you can try to Disney-fy the entire internet instead?). IIRC, AFF has had to fend off threats to its existence, a mod/admin with good memory could fill us in here.

Children become minor1 or minor2 tags…. just saying.

You're only scaring away the weak-stomached. I'm all for more maturely rated stories. ;3 I'm all for gore mostly. Fuu~ It’s more if the weak-stomached complain, then an adult++ with a butt load of tags generally means they ignored the warnings.

I tend to play it safe, rate mine adult++ and not worry about it…. hopefully it’s not scaring too many readers away. I tend not to pay attention to it on that occasion when I go reading.

I try to keep a notebook on hand so that I can jot the good ones down when I have them.

I find it helps, especially on making them different, otherwise, I’d likely make them all the same. (Though main characters in my stories develop a common liking to go around naked, maybe that says something about … me? )

It comes down to the whole character creation process. I’ve got trouble with blank bits of paper or blank documents, so I’ll create lists of randomized traits/dates/names/etc, and use those to jumpstart my shaping of the character.

More extensive than that, I’ve got a bunch of XML files, one per character/group/event, and a bit of custom software that spits out browseable HTML with links and each character’s family tree. That, and I’ve got a random date generator to come up with birthdays

And I’ve made a database of characters/key-events/groups, so that what helps me keep track of things. Not perfect, but it helps.

All of my originals, including the halloween/holiday oneshots, are interconnected in some fashion. Of course, I try to make each one enjoyable w/o having to read the entire collected works

There was the original story, I pulled because I was trying to do too much and realized I had multiple stories! I split them to become Fiends/Dolbourne/Alaska. Overall, it’s better and fairer to each story. And then, backstory + holiday oneshots cause even more stories!
