Well see, this is literally where the basics is though, the whole non-sex versus sex stuff. The original story that it’s based on is a love story with a mystery element. Basically, the main characters start to have feelings for each other and then a stalker starts trying to force them to confront their feelings. At one point they have to pretend to be a couple in public as a way to keep the stalker at bay. So the only thing that actually gets written is maybe some making out. There’s one scene where the main characters decide after revealing the true identity of the stalker decide to finally give in to their feelings. But literally what happens is that one invites the other into their bedroom, the door shuts and then the next chapter is the morning after. Whereas the sex version has no stalker because the stalker hasn’t been introduced to the story by the time it diverges. Essentially, they’re up on this weekend away and decide, “You know what? Let’s have sex and include our boyfriends in the fun.” That’s basically the whole story. But as I mentioned previously, that weekend away happens in chapter 4 of the above story I just outlined. I don’t think the sex story makes sense without the first 3 chapters.

Yes, that was a typo. I intended to say “non-sex” which is how AFF tends to categories things. If you’re writing a more traditional narrative story where the point isn’t necessarily the sex, it goes under “non-sex”. So my intent there is for it to be that I would have 20-30 pages of non-sex plot before getting to the sex stuff.

I appreciate it for sure. For details, most of my stuff here involve at least 5-15 pages of story before the sex actually happens in the story. However, for this story it would probably by 20-30 pages and either will have sex around page 25. Or I could just have 20-30 pages of non story, then chapter 2 will be the sex stuff.

I get that. The original story was very mystery oriented. Two female characters realize that they’re starting to have feelings for each other. The clean version does “fade to black” in the one sex scene that exists. Around chapter 3 or 4, they go away for the weekend with their boyfriends. The more sexual version has the four of them getting it on during their weekend away in various ways. Usually my stories on AFF are about 20-30 pages long per chapter. Whereas the first couple chapters of the clean on is 10 pages or so, if not less. So combining them together would put it in line with what I usually put on AFF.

Well that’s interesting. I guess I have a different definition of what plot is. But that’s just me.

Okay, that’s good to know. I’ve seen so many stories on the site where sex happens very quickly.

I appreciate the suggestion but I don’t need it. I literally just copied the chapters into a new folder with a new name for the story and solved the organizational problem. I’ll keep them separate that way.

I figured as much, but almost everything that I read on AFF usually has sex in the first chapter. I know at least a couple I’ve been interested in had no sex in it but the story didn’t make me want to read the rest. So I’m wondering if I’m an outlier or other people do bail on stories. Basically, the first 3 chapters of the “clean” version would end up as the first chapter of the AFF version. The fourth chapter has a sex scene which I could add to the first three.

I’m not worried. I’ve already finished with one without sex in it. So I don’t have to worry about mixing them up or anything like that. It’s more about how people on the site will likely want to read it. Whether people will read the first chapter expecting a sex scene but don’t get one. If that will stop people from reading chapter 2.

I’ve been thinking about a story I’ve been working on and it wasn’t originally intended to involve a lot of sex. However, I’ve since decided to do a second version of the story which has more sex. But I want to post the first couple chapters together as the first chapter for context. Would you read it if they only had sex in the second chapter? There’s a version of it where the end of the first chapter could have some sex in it. Not sure if I want to do this though.

New chapter is up featuring Faith titled “Men of Faith”. https://buffy.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600092228&chapter=13 Just FYI, there are only 3 more chapters left in this series.

Men of Faith Chapter 13 is up Summary: Frustrated with her patrol that night and looking forward to some time alone, Faith is interrupted by a vampire attack on a bus full of priests. She fights the vamps off but that doesn't help with her frustration. It has her looking for... other ways to be satisfied.

Okay, well, I suppose that’s good to know. For clarification, it’s actually a woman wanting to claim another woman as their own. In fact, it’s multiple women all getting the same tattoo. Or that’s the idea anyway. Given the nature of the relationships, it made sense to have them do this and a tramp stamp seemed to work. But if it’s in one location, that can still work.

Okay, because if wearing revealing clothing is part of it, technically wearing a sports bra would be revealing and anything under the shirt would be considered a “tramp stamp”. But if the lower back is the aspect, I suppose I can work with that. I guess I would just call a tattoo elsewhere, a tattoo? Unless there’s some other word for a tattoo meant to indicate a relationship. That’s sorta the point. To use an example from a fandom. There was a couple who got the other’s name tattooed on their body. When they put their arms next to each other, it formed a heart. That’s sorta the intent behind this but with much less of a cheesy idea behind it.

So the question sorta points out the whole thing. I’ve been thinking about the idea of a tramp stamp tattoo but I’m wondering where does it actually go? I don’t know that much about tattoos and don’t have anything myself. My understanding is that it usually goes on the lower back. But if it goes elsewhere on the body, is it not a tramp stamp? I have a character who is focused on certain parts of the body and I’m wondering if the tramp stamp is on a particular body part, is it still a tramp stamp?

Hopefully that is a potential fix.

Well it’s funny, for this site I use Yahoo mail but for another site I use a different one and I get emails from this forum but not the main archive. For other sites, I don’t get any emails at all. Although occasionally I can get them, but then it stops again.

Well that’s good. What’s weird is that I literally get no emails whatsoever from certain fanfic sites. Usually when it goes to spam, it shows up in spam. But these days it doesn’t even go there. It’s just a non-existent email that the site says they’re sending and it gets bounced back.

Yeah, makes you wonder exactly what the email providers are up to. Especially since it’s not just us.

Yes, I’m well aware. But as I mentioned, I love getting emails because I can check them when my internet sucks.

I think it’s not just this site that’s having the problem. The other site FF is constantly asking me to confirm that it’s okay to get emails from them because email providers are doing this too. Not sure how I can fix this on the provider side.

No worries, I only really like the fact of getting an email because my weekend access to internet isn’t great. Which means that I would love to know what to do on Monday.

Hey, so… I asked about this previously although I can’t seem to find the topic to reply to for some reason. I asked about getting an email when I receive new reviews on the archive for my stories. I was told to go to my profile, update my information to confirm emails, which I did. Since then, I got a new review and I did not receive an email. Just curious what’s that about. What I can do to potentially fix it, if anything.
