we're ubervoles?

Recommended Posts

Sometimes referred to as the Pit of The Über-Voles or AFF.net It is not, in fact, located at adult-fanfiction.org, but has a lengthy web address and must be found through googling. It is a website hosting mostly fanfiction, but including RPF and original. Every story is porn. It is home to an astounding amount of NC-17 badfic.

She visited adult-fanfiction.org and read a lemon between Spike and Buffy.

I've never been too fond of the term 'Pit of Voles' for the web site from which AFF was spun off, and I don't particularly like 'Ubervoles', either. A vole is a small, furry creature of mouse-like disposition that has nothing whatsoever to do with writing, and I doubt its legal representatives would look too fondly on being associated with badfic.

Wonderful! I've always wanted something to call myself. Now I know.

What's that saying? Any press is good press. Something like that. Well, imagine all the curious little creatures who, upon reading that definition, will scurry right over to read the uberbad fic. Scurry away, I say!

After a quick trip through the dictionary, there are two definitions.

1)  small rodent: a small rodent found mostly in North America and Eurasia, similar to mice and rats but with a shorter tail and legs and a stocky body.

So they're calling us fat, are they?

2)  taking of all card tricks: a taking of all the tricks in a single hand in a card game such as bridge

I like the second one better, though I fail to see how either applies to us. Maybe we don't hold anything back in our fiction by pulling out all the stops and taking all of the tricks... Okay, now I'm reaching.

AFF has been known as the Über-Pit for a while now. It's not because we were originally a part of "that site". It's because AFF has the largest collection of adult bad-fic and squick-fic. Then again, AFF has the largest collection of adult fanfic, period.

Godawful Fanfiction refers to this place as the Über-Pit. However, the majority of those who do are members of AFF. They don't hate the site, and are willing to acknowledge that there's good stuff on here.

Basically, we're known as the Über-Pit because of the worse side of AFF that we're willing to acknowledge and often lament ourselves. It's about the immature tripe posted by underagers or those who don't know the first thing about writing, much less writing adult material.

Admittedly, many of us say the same thing about the "other site". It's full of crap, but there are a few good writers and fics that make it worthwhile. Same with us.

I nearly forgot: individual fics are referred to as voles, not the members themselves. Plus, it's UD. Every definition you read there has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As polywolly states, this just going to get the Archive more attention. Whenever anyone starts crap about something, we all all flock with morbid curousity to check out what's so, "wrong".

Honestly, we should take it all in stride, just like when some stupid troll flames us. (Bigger scale of course. Since we're all included in that generalization. devil.gif )

This site is NOT as bad as Literotica.

No, we're not. However, people read fanfiction online more often than they read original fiction. We're known for being one of the best sources for finding bad adult fanfiction because we have the largest number of fanfics out of all the adult sites as well as the most genres (fandoms and warning labels). GreyArchives came up as a close second. They don't have much quantity, but they surpass us in squick. TSSA and CSSA has also managed to surpass us in squick, but again there's the matter of limited genres.

I can't say Literotica is a good source for finding bad adult fanfiction. Bad adult original fiction, yes.

You mean Sturgeon's Law, Neito? It applies to ... lots of things.

Can't say I've ever been to Literotica or any of the other acronymic smut archives, so I'll hold judgment on that point. AFF may have its share of badfic, but we make up for that by having a nice, relatively friendly user base (IMO).
