As I explained before, the blue page is directly tied in to the add chapter function. It's function is that of a cookie setter. Whether you dislike it or not at this point in time is irrelevant. It stays, until the coder replaces it with something else, as she's planning on doing when rewriting the storyboarding part of the archive.

We're not turning in to a funnel in to an ad site.
No, I don't have to feel bad about that. They're not supposed to be here anyway, and the page is part of the deterrent.
As to when it'll change, that's up to the coder. Sure, I could tinker with it, but, I also would have to make sure that any changes I make to it are compatible to the old code it's linked to. I've got plenty enough to do as it is, without having to make adjustments to a cookie setter.
@Anesor - I'll have to check that, as the query I ran to update the post data SHOULD have made the changes in those posts too.

If you look at your stories, you'll find I already fixed that.

You all remember last year, middle of September?
We have reset the software and the server, to use the new domain name.
There is a very SLIGHT change in url:
adult-fanfiction.org is now adult-fanfiction.org
You will be automatically redirected to the new domain.
BEFORE LOGGING IN to ANY application (archive and forum)-
Clear your cache and cookies.
If you don't want to clear all your cookies, simply delete any for .adult-fanfiction.org (that is how it would appear).
As always, cookie clearing does require a browser restart, and with Internet Explorer, a computer restart.
Your individual logins remain the same as they were.

Users CAN'T delete reviews on FFN. At least not logged in ones.

y'know, one can only hope that with time and a bit of maturity, the young ones will learn that concrit is your friend.

Often enough for it to be an annoyance, yes.

As long as you cite the dialogue, and it's an actual rewrite, that's allowable. There is plenty of that throughout the archive. What we're talking about is where someone takes a script and uses it verbatim, maybe changes the character names. No retelling of the episode from a different perspective, but just posting up the episode as their own work.
The same applies to an actual "read-the-book". Those are stories where an author usually puts a sentence or two of a character saying something or another, and then copies the actual book content verbatim, as the character reading the book to someone in their story. That's obviously NOT acceptable, nor is it a new spin on the book.
When I, or any other staff member, as an example; searches the text of such a story, and it comes up with 0% original content for the bulk, and links to a copy of the script in question, there is an obvious problem.
We're all certainly aware that some archives actually allow this, but many more of them do not, as it is still plagiarism. Taking a story and making the majority of it a copy/paste of a script/screenplay/book, is just what it sounds like, copypasta plagiarism.

As we've discussed here, the REASON reviewers of quality are scarce is because we feel the authors don't necessarily want to hear what we have to say.

We have a promo forum ya know. Promote a Story. You add that particular data to your post.

Even though I don't write, one of the big things I see as issue with this is that you lose rights to anything you develop once it's submitted and accepted.
The publishing agreement shows exactly what it is you're willing to give up once you've submitted in this format. In fanfiction (free), when an author develops an interesting concept that may be sellable in the future, it's still all theirs. If an author opts to remove the fanfiction and submit an original work to a publisher based on their concept, the concept and worlds still remain the author's. In this format, the author loses that.

Totally agree with Cal. Besides, the stuff that we leave here should certainly point to the fact that we don't QC, nor censor.

fanpoodles are not so much empty reviews, although that's what they tend to leave, is meaningless reviews, but the clique of reviewers who "squee" for no apparent reason, and review and make popular some absolutely DREADFUL writing. Yet, because it's (the story) for a popular pair, for example, it'll get reviewed and highly rated whether or not it actually deserves it. What's even worse, is that often, the writers who HAVE all the fanpoodle following tend to be rather divaish in behavior. To me, they don't so much seem to be writing for the craft of it, but more for the ego boost.
I suppose as someone who cut their reading teeth on the likes of Homer, Asimov, and Tolkien, I tend to be a tad picky...

Not to mention it's not even FINISHED yet.

As to beta readers, there are some good ones out there, but they're not easy to find. You do build up a relationship with your beta, to be sure. I know when I used to do this, I'd take on anything from a drabble, to multi chapter (with loooong chapters), without issue. But that would be when I had the time to actually beta read, and give the author who sent me the work my full attention.

yep, and now they're really deleted
