      I could agree with that. XD

      wish I'd known that in gradeschool. Could've saved me a lot of grief.

  2. Windows 8 is coming out next year, so there's another operating system to get used to, just when I'm starting to get the hang of Windows 7.
  3. And there's an author's note in the middle of that story, as well, just in case that POV change crap didn't yank you out of the story hard enough. Those are things authors really need to learn to abandon very quickly.
  4. Version 6 of the Firefox browser hasn't been out long, and they already upgrade it to version 7? Good god, even Microsoft aren't that bad! Here's an idea, Mozilla, how about you actually work on creating a half-way decent browser in the first place so you don't have to abandon it and upgrade within a ridiculously short time of release? I pity the poor developers. They've only just updated their stuff to make it compatible with version 6, and now they have to do it all over again. Firefox used to be such an excellent browser. Rock solid and steady all the way, where as IE was as solid as a bag of pus. But now IE is improving and Firefox is getting worse, much much worse. I wonder just how good version 7 of Firefox will be? I guess we'll know if they decide to release version 8 next month.
  5. It's just bad, lazy writing.

  9. The new Monthly Word Prompt Challenge is now open for business! Look for it in the Challenges/Requests forum, under Dribs and Drabs and Doggy Tales!

  10. Just as a reminder to people, these forums aren't the place to leave reviews on people's stories. Reviews should always be left on the archive, with the story you're actually reviewing. And this topic is purely for author's to promote their story.
  11. The new monthly word prompt challenge will be starting next month! I'll try and remember to think US dates so it starts and stops on the correct days according to the US.

      Looking forward to it!

  12. One Word Prompt: Grandeur Phrase prompt: Get it over with Three Elements: An old diary, a locked door, a bottle of alcohol Please remember to follow the rules as outlined here: Rules Happy Writing!
  13. Here are the basic rules for the AFF monthly challenge! On the first day of each month, I will post new writing prompts that needs to be used in some way, shape or form in your challenge response. There may be a single prompt or you may have multiple prompts you can choose from for that month. Your challenge response information must be posted in the forum by the last day of the month. There are four different word counts to choose from - TwitFic: 140 Characters (which includes punctuation marks and spaces); Drabble: 100 words (No more, no less); FlashFic: Up to 1,000 words; or ShortStory: Any length over 1000 words, as long as it’s specifically written for the prompt (i.e. no prewritten stories are allowed), and as long as it’s submitted in time to meet the deadline. The monthly prompt may simply be a single word, or you may have a choice of several prompts (e.g., One Word Prompt, Phrase Prompt, Three Elements Prompt). If there are multiple prompts on offer, you may choose any one of those prompts. You do NOT need to use all of them. However, if you wish to give yourself an extra challenge, then you can choose to implement more than one, or all of them, into your challenge response. You may also write a separate story for each of the prompts given. See below for more details. To submit your entry, please see a sample post below as to how your information should be displayed in the forum and what to include. The Monthly Prompt thread is only to post your story information - Any reviews to these challenge responses you wish to leave should be made in the usual way – at the bottom of the author's stories in the archive. Please do not leave commentary in the topic; those posts will be removed. Basic Rules for User Submitted Challenges: Please upload your challenges in the correct category within the AFF Archive: http://www.adult-fanfiction.org/ Do NOT post your challenge responses in the forum. If you’re unsure which category within the archive is the most appropriate place for your story, feel free to ask a moderator. Your challenges can be written for any fandom or original categories. If you choose the "One Word Prompt" or the "Phrase Prompt" challenge, your challenge response may or may not include the specific challenge word or words, but it is important that it does include the meaning of the word or words. If you choose the "Three Elements" prompt, your challenge response must include all three elements, i.e., if one of the elements is a diary then your response must include a diary in it. This is more a guideline than a rule. It’s usually a good idea to place an author’s note at the start of your story pointing out that this is a challenge response and the prompt or prompts that inspired your story. You could also place the forum URL that has the prompt. Example: Author’s Note: This is a FlashFic (less than 1000 words) written in response to a word prompt – “Embrangled” – and a phrase prompt – "give it time" – posted on the forum here: http://www2.adultfan...fakeurladdress/ Please note that you may write a separate story for each of the prompts, if you so choose, as long as there's only one of the prompts used per story. So, if there are three different types of prompts on offer then you could submit three separate stories, one for each prompt. Make sure you submit each story as a separate post, and make it clear what prompt you're using. See a sample forum post below for an example. Sample forum post: Pen Name: Melrick Story link: (Link.) (This is the URL to your challenge response located on the archive) Review replies link: (Link to elsewhere in the forum, if you have one set up. Information on creating a review reply thread is available here.) Prompts Used: One Word: "cat", Three Elements: "a hat, a chair, a storm". Type of fic: Drabble Fandom: Original Pairing: N/A Warnings: M/F, Anal, Oral Please note the “review replies link” in the sample post above. If you have a review replies thread set up for your story elsewhere in the forum, you can place the link there. If you don't have one at first but do later then you can simply edit your post later to include the link. It's not necessary to have one, though. Please note, however, that it’s against the rules to reply to reviews for your own story in the archive by adding your own review. Replies to reviews can be made by creating a thread in the “Fan Fiction” section of this forum. You can read more about this here. If you're unsure how to do this, please ask a moderator for assistance. Have fun writing!

  21. Ah "Open All Hours", what a wonderful, classic British comedy. No one makes comedies like the British, in my opinion.

      That and Porridge are wonderful! Ronnie Barker was hilarious, RIP.

      I definitely agree. Ronnie Barker's death was a great loss.

  22. No, there's no guideline. One thing you need to keep in mind is that it's utterly impossible to keep everyone happy. The first person you should always be looking to keep happy is yourself. What you need to do is to write whatever sex scene you feel is best for the story, and if people don't like it then tough titties.
  23. Due to all the construction work going on around here, the Monthly Prompt Challenge won't be begin until the start of September instead.
