Ugh, I just went and outlined a whole other story
Deadman replied to Deadman's topic in Writers' Corner
Well being unemployed is like a super long vacation. So I have a couple stories I completed. One is a 7 part story in the Buffy category, a single chapter story in the TV category which may or may not turn into more chapters later. A two part story in the Buffy category. A 5 part story that I wrote a long time ago which isn’t finished in the Buffy category. I also have 5 chapters finished of the story I’m currently writing the second to last chapter for. Also, I have a very old story that I’m debating putting out there again because it’s probably the darkest story I ever wrote which is finished in the Buffy category. Technically, I have 3 finished chapters of the piece that inspired this post in the TV category which I will probably be combining into one chapter or possibly two. Mainly because the first two are mostly set up and the third kinda begins what I outlined over the weekend. -

Do you at least post them or is it a wait until they’re finished? -

Do you post them as you go? -

One every couple of days? Currently my schedule is once a month. I have thought about maybe posting in other sections. For instance, my current piece that’s getting posted monthly is in the Buffy category. Whereas I have some that would go in the Television category. But a lot of my finished pieces are in the Buffy category. -
How do people make "profile status updates"?

Hmm, I’m not seeing anything in my settings but supposedly I can use add-ons that are Java related. Maybe one of those will work? -

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?

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. -

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.

How often is the "Currently Reading" counter updated?
Deadman replied to Deadman's topic in General Staff Questions
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? -
Weirdest sexual situation/position you've seen?
Deadman replied to Deadman's topic in Writers' Corner
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.

How much should you draw on real world examples?
Deadman replied to Deadman's topic in Writers' Corner
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.
