  1. I think that would be entirely up to you, quite honestly. To do that, though, I believe that you would have to delete/re-add the chapters in the order you want them to appear in once you determine that afterwards. I'm not entirely sure, as I'm not an author so I've never really DONE anything in the archive other than to select an avatar and edit my profile.

  2. No, you're not seeing things. Only thing I can think of that happened is when I ran some maintenance to repair/optimize, something unexpected may have happened. I hope not. I don't actually DO anything to a pre-existing forum in that section until the revised structure is set up. Hadn't even gotten to Comics yet.

  3. The guidelines/FAQ pages are actually being reworked at the moment. You should be seeing the ones pertinent to your questions posted here in the next day or two. Sorry they're not up as yet.

    Ratings are more or less as follows:

    Adult=PG13 type content

    Adult+=R to anything up to "hard R" type content

    Adult++=anything ABOVE a "hard R" type story for content, as in NC17 (if you go by movie ratings for comparison)

    Disclaimers:

    Fiction using other known characters/worlds (fanfiction)

    In the disclaimer, one needs to state that they do not own the characters, nor do they make any profit from their story.

    Original fiction

    Original fiction one would expect to have an author's OWN characters, plots and worlds. Our system requires the disclaimer block to be filled before the story is displayed. So, for this, one would EXPECT to see an author saying that he/she owned the characters and content of the story.

    Pretty much word your disclaimers however you want, following the above guidelines.

    Posting your one shots:

    Something I've observed over time is that you'll see authors who will post a series of one shots that are plot connected as one STORY. The author simply states in the description of the story that it's a series of one shots. So, depending on the plot of what you've developed, as far as how the one shots relate to each other, is how you'd pick the subcategory to upload to.

    Hope that all helps. smile.gif

  4. manta2g just finished running the maintenance, was able to access the data for your reviews. Unfortunately, that jump in reviews was an anonymous poster/reviewer (that's how it displayed, was actually a spam bot) who spammed your review board. She is making adjustments to that for you now. She just told me that you have 430 reviews, that are valid, not generated by the spambot.

  5. I don't actually take care of this end, but...I can tell you it's being looked into. It would be helpful if you could describe exactly what you're doing, when you're unable to access this function for this story only (for the tech who is doing the work).

    There is a scheduled maintenance task that may very well correct your problem. So, if you experience this still after it runs (some time today, so check tomorrow if the problem still exists), let us know that as well.

  6. As far as I know, had nothing up. But, that's neither here nor there....I reported this user so she could be verified as being underage or not underage, and then whatever needs to be done is done. Not my area, ya know?

    And yeah, MySpace displays your age based on your birthday information that you provide.

  7. Creating an account with an invalid and/or dummy email address will cause that membership to be immediately DELETED. It is common for spammers to sign into a discussion board using a "disposable" email address which subsequently disappears within a 24 to 48 hour time period. This allows a really dedicated spammer to actually validate IN PERSON, and then spam later. There are clear instructions you need to follow when signing up to join the forum; all you have to do is read all the information provided and follow the instructions. Failure to follow those instructions will ensure you do not get approved to join the forum.

  8. A spam topic, is one in which it is the same topic, blasted througout the board. A good example of this would be where a spammer has created a login, and the next thing you know, you have links to pill sites in every forum in the board.

    There are tools in place to prevent spambots from infesting the board, however, a DEDICATED spammer will actually sit through the verfication process in order to be able to spam a discussion board. ANY discussion board.

    What happens next

    These type of topics are ALL moved to the "spam graveyard". A member who comes onto the board with the express purpose of spamming the board, will be suspended INDEFINITELY. If upon further checking, that it is found that a new spammer is actually an old one that was suspended, then that person will be banned.

    Keep in mind that a spammer isn't just someone really concerned about the size of your penis, or desperate to help you out by selling you cheap pills. If you have a great story that you feel everyone should read and you subsequently post a link to it on multiple forums across the board, then you're a spammer and will likely get suspended.

    If you'd like to promote a story that you've uploaded to the AFF archive, then we have a forum for that: Promote a story forum

    If you have a website or a forum you'd like to promote, or if you'd like to place an ad asking for role players, etc, then we have a forum for that, too: Great wall of...

  10. Bear with me on the unbelievably LOOOONG category for Fan Fiction. That will be a temporary problem, as once this whole thing is upgraded, you, the user, have the option of COLLAPSING all categories so the forum displays the same way every time you visit. Then, if you want to go into the collapsed category, simply click the title as it acts as a link as well. That'll take you to the forum category(ies) listing, without having to have that thing to be the first thing to hit you in the face when you get here. wink.gif

    Unfortunately, this version of the software does not support collapsing categories. angry.gif Nor does it TRULY support unlimited subforums, even with the modification (the mod actually limits your nesting ability to a degree)

    Further subdividing of the Fanfiction category itself will occur AFTER the upgrade, to its final format.

    It'll end up looking something like this:

    Fanfiction (main category)

    --Searching for a Fic? (posting forum)

    --Fanfiction - All Anime (forum category)

    --Fanfiction - World Specific (forum catgory)

    --Fanfiction - Non English (forum category_

    --Fanfiction - All Other Archive Categories

    Then, below those additional forum categories, you'll find the specific categories which mirror the archive.
