I'm not fond of footnotes in fiction either. The parenthetical asides that I reference are as such: Caimus had always been a bit on the wild side. (Maybe it was Jaden's influence, but it was hard to tell for sure.) That would not be something to include in a footnote, at all. You are the author. The entire story is your voice as the narrator. There is no tangible need to set aside your narrative observations behind parentheses. Personally, as a reader I find them highly distracting. I'm looking for a footnote or citation at that point, or worse, the direct address mid-story A/N from writer to reader i.e.: (And we all know what a wild-child Jaden is!) I will concede that it is a style choice. Good job on using the prompt words, again!

In all honesty, as much as I've been in and around the Archives, I've not seen anything reach the 1,000 mark. I wasn't offended, just pointing out a serious weakness with the rating system. I read along the same lines as BW. Oddly, we share very similar tastes in tales.

Pen name: Pittwitch Story link: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600102842&chapter=22 Title: Treacherous Travels Story type: flashfic Rating: Adult++ Fandom: Original Warnings: D/s established relationship, F/m NoSex, ChallengeFic, AFFO

I find the rating system to be highly unreliable. One person with an honest opinion can rate a ++ and two fanpoodles rate +++++ and the system shows three rated +++++. IMHO stories with those super high ratings are rated up unnaturally. I agree with DG -- there are hugely talented writers on this site across all of the fandoms who don't encourage or rely on their cohorts for the popularity ego-stroke.

There's a news post forthcoming that will explain everything. Hold tight.

Yes, I'm jumping in as well - the "polite" thing to do would be for users NOT to break the law. Sincerely, I'm hoping perhaps a few other users who are following this thread will read and heed the message.
