Well part of my issue is that I got a lot of writing done while AFF was having to be read only. So now I’m thinking about what I should do. Maybe just post the, I think 3 finished stories? Instead of just waiting until the current story I’m posting is done.

Firefox, pretty sure it’s the most recent version. I’m on a Windows machine. Possibly Windows 10 but not 100% on that.

This having ideas thing is getting annoying. I was going to make it a status update but apparently there’s a problem doing that. I was out an event over the weekend and for whatever reason my mind went to thinking about a story that I had mostly left behind for a while. There was a chapter that I wrote probably a year or two ago. It’s now up to 11 chapters for the story. It’ll probably end up here on this site. What’s annoying is that I already have like 6 story ideas already in my head and several I haven’t posted yet. Maybe I should just start posting them instead of spacing them out. Thoughts about posting more than one story at a time?

This is what I see @BronxWench

In case Manta needs it, I use Firefox and I did have an add on going. However, I disabled it in case that was the problem. My screenshot is what it looks like without the add on.

I’m not sure, I think it’s default? At least according to what I think I can find about my theme.

Hmm, that’s weird @BronxWench because I’m not seeing it on my page.

Okay, maybe I’m just missing where that is. You mean other people’s status updates?

Just curious because I’ve seen a few people who’ve been able to post via their profile. Is it that you have to get to a certain point in terms of rank on the site? Or am I just missing something? I’m happy to wait if that’s the case, but I might get annoying with my desire to get there. Hopefully not though.

Okay then, that’s cool. I thought it was like “You are online” light that you see on some places. I assumed that it was showing who was on the site right now. Good to know.

Oh, I didn’t realize that you can add a story like that. I think it’s a new feature after the upgrades? Or do I just not remember it?

Absolutely hypothetically. Tight spaces are usually a necessary part for getting frisky.

What did Ron and Hermione do? Just getting it on in the train?

The other day, I noticed a guy in a tub where a woman was sorta straddling the sides of the tub while having sex. It just seems weird to me but then I’m not adventurous to do something like that. One of my fandoms had a character who suggested they had once had sex in an owl shed. But it got me curious what you’ve either seen or read about as a sex position or situation they’ve been in?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I’m wondering about it. A story that I have has been saying “Currently Reading 2” for a while. I think probably about a week and a half now. Maybe people just really love my story but I wonder if this gets updated regularly or if this is just an example of people reading it. I suppose I’m just curious to know how to read the stats themselves.

Stick Handling Chapter 9 is now up featuring Winifred Burkle Summary: “It's my boys. I haven't had this many big strapping men at my bedside since that night with the Varsity Lacrosse team... That was a joke.” – Winifred Burkle Based in part around the above quote from the show, Winifred Burkle finds herself at lacrosse camp trying to help the team. They have other plans for how she can help them build team cohesion.

New chapter is up now featuring Winifred Burkle titled “Stick Handling”.

That’s true. For context, the character’s boyfriend broke up with them because she cheated on him and the boyfriend is a personal trainer. So the female character is trying to get the buy in of his colleagues as a way to convince him to take her back. They make her do all kinds of exercises to prove her love for him. Leading to… fun times. I think what makes sense to use the videos of the actress working out, it allows me to see what the character could physically accomplish and what would be too much. Because they’re the same physically, and there isn’t any super powers or anything that would make it different.

Yes, it’s definitely something they’re posting on their own social media. Which they obviously intended to get out there. But yeah, I see them using a particular exercise machine, or lifting certain types of weights, and I think, that would be an interesting way of describing the scene.

That’s sorta the way I feel but at the same time I understand that the character and the actor are different people. The actor might do something as a character that they wouldn’t do in real life. Not just saying certain things and all that, but also how they might work out. At the same time, they’re physical representations of the characters. I was sorta having this discussion with someone previously. An actor who was a superhero on TV who had a suit made for them, could have their own suit made even if the original suit or what created them was destroyed after the show was cancelled or movie is over and won’t get a sequel. Because they were the ones who wore it, they can have a mould of the suit made based on their physical characteristics. Even if they don’t play that character anymore.

You’re probably sick of me creating so many topics by now, but here’s another. Been putting some thought into an upcoming story, featuring a female character working out at the gym. What is interesting though is the actress who plays the character has been posting videos of themselves working out at a gym. I’ve been sorta making notes without the influence of the actress’ social media feed for most of it. Yet now I’m wondering if I should take a look at the various videos or photos and use them as reference points. Have any of you done something like this? Why or why not?

I would’ve thought that The Boys would be the obvious choice.

I’m in the middle of writing something and I noticed that I have been very unstructured in how I refer to a particular character. They’re the mayor of a town and in canon we know their full name. But when I write about them I often use just a piece of their name. For instance: “Mayor John Smith says” “Mayor Smith declares” “Mayor John suggests” “says John Smith” Part of me worries that while I have established their full name within the context, if I’m constantly switching like that, I might confuse the audience. How do you go about figuring out this problem? Or do you not worry about it?

Yes, generally speaking. My browsers are set so that any time I close the browser, it deletes all cookies. So I tried it again today and the same thing happened.

It’s not as serious an issue as originally thought. Looks like it’s specifically messenger pop up and appears to be only me who has this problem. @Desiderius Price appears to be able to use the pop up without an issue.
