New User: How to Register for an Archive Profile

[ApolloImperium]

When you enter the main page of adult-fanfiction.org, click the three lines at the upper left corner of the page.

There is a menu on the left side that has a button marked Register.



Select the option to Register, and read the User Agreement in its entirety.



You will be required to agree to the adult-fanfiction.org User Agreement, and to certify that you are 18 years of age or older. You must complete both these items in order to proceed.



The next page requires you to input information in several fields. You will be asked for your first and last name, as well as your date of birth. Please input the date of birth in the format indicated. Date of birth and your name will not be visible to users, these are for staff use only.

You will also be asked to create a pen name. A pen name must consist of alphabetic characters (A-Z and/or a-z), numbers (0-9) a dash or minus sign (-) or an underscore (_). No other characters are permitted.

The next thing you are asked to supply is a working and valid email address. Part of the registration process now requires you to respond to a validation email. Disposable email addresses are not acceptable.

The final step is to input a password, and then retype that password in order to verify it.

PLEASE NOTE: Passwords must be between 12-18 letters and/or numbers long, and are case sensitive. NO punctuation, spaces, or special characters are allowed. Do NOT use your old password, or let Google make a strong password full of forbidden characters for you



Select the button marked Register.

You will receive an email containing a validation link, which must be used to properly activate your account. If you do not receive an email, please check your spam or junk folder to make sure that your email service did not forward our email there.

Click on the link in the activation email, it will bring you back to the Archive and you will see an "Account Activation: Activation Successful"

At this point, you can use  the log in fields to enter your email address and password to log in. Your name will replace the word “Log In” next to the icon shown in the first image.

Note: You may see a message "Account Activation: Invalid Activation” code, but you will see that you are logged in if you click the three bars and your pen name appears.
