Melrick Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 So if my story is posted on another website like this (but not AdultFanFiction.Net) I can't promote it here. Is that correct as I understand it? EJKorvette mka Evan Correct. Quote
PandorasFury Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 I can't start a new topic. What's up? Quote
sinnersprayer Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 I am Solaris AKA Beth. I am the moderator of Promote a Story! subforum. I am here to help them if you have a problem figuring out how to promote your story or you are not sure what this place is for, please feel free to PM me or leave a post here with your questions, I'm here to help you make the most of your time here on the forum. The one question that most people would most likely ask of me is this: What does this subforum do? The answer is to promote your stories to fellow AFF members on the forum. Who knows you might find a story that you never thought you would like, I have found several stories that I like in fandoms that I never thought I would like. Do not worry, I don't bite. I'm here to help you and to keep the peace on the forums. Anyway, if anyone has questions, please feel free to ask them of me and I will be happy to answer them for you. Beth For some reason I cant place a new post...**pout** I wanted to "pimp out" my story here, but the button is replaced by this elongated stripe that says "you cannot start a new topic" Quote
BronxWench Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Hi, sinnersprayer, that would be because you are still validating. You cannot create a new topic until that process is completed. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Until you've gone past the second level of validation, posting is restricted. Quote
pekeleke Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 Hi there I just posted on AFF a completed fic a couple of days ago and a couple of my reviewers have advised me to delete some of the chapters and re-post them more slowly in order to keep it at the top of the latest-stories list. I'm a bit reluctant to do that as I don't really want to upset whoever might be currently reading it. I saw this forum and thought it could be just the solution to get my story out there instead. This is a work that I've posted in a few other sites as well and I saw in your rules here that out of site stories can't be posted. Does that mean that you only allow stories that had been only posted on AFF or that the story in question must be posted here too? Quote
DemonGoddess Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 Linking in the Promote a Story forum is restricted to stories hosted by the site, yes. However, that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't post your work elsewhere as well. Many people will post their stories at several sites. That's a preference, and certainly not against the rules.

Squallfan Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Hello, this is the first time I have ever even thought of promoting one of my stories. I was wanting to, simply because it is a fan fiction for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and that fandom seems pretty low on stories. Just one in fact, besides my own that I just posted the first chapter of today. I thought maybe promoting it might get it more interest. What I wanted to get clear was, on not being able to promote if the story is posted on another site. Does that count if I posted it on my own Livejournal fiction page? If that is the case, no problem. I just wanted to ask to make sure. Quote
pittwitch Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Squallfan, If you have posted it here on AFF, please promote away with a link to the story here at AFF. What isn't allowed is promoting stories ONLY from other sites. PW Quote
JayDee Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 Can that be done on the 'Great Wall of' forum? Quote
DemonGoddess Posted December 31, 2012 Report Posted December 31, 2012 yep, that's what it's for Quote
Squallfan Posted January 1, 2013 Report Posted January 1, 2013 Squallfan,If you have posted it here on AFF, please promote away with a link to the story here at AFF. What isn't allowed is promoting stories ONLY from other sites. PW Thanks for responding. I'll blame my headache for misreading the info earlier. lol. Quote
Elleyis Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Question. Can the only story we promote be completed stories? Quote
BronxWench Posted January 9, 2013 Report Posted January 9, 2013 Question. Can the only story we promote be completed stories? You can promote works in progress here, too, and some people promote again after each update, to let readers know they've updated. Quote

SSBBfan666 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 Trying to get used to all this, so when i promote a story (one that i brought over from FanFiction.net) how exactly should i do this? Quote
BronxWench Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Most people will post a topic with the story title, their pen name on the archive, the fandom or subdomain where it can be found, and a link to the story. I've also seen people put in a summary to let potential readers know a bit about the story. Take a look at some of the other threads posted by authors. The only requirement is that the story be posted here at AFF (even if it's also elsewhere) and that any link be to the story on AFF. You do need to post the story in the archive, though. These forums are not the place to publish. It's actually a great way to let people know you're posting, especially if you're new. It goes hand in hand with making a review reply thread, so you can respond to reviews and get a chance to chat with readers. Edited December 13, 2013 by BronxWench Quote
Guest Black-Dreams Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Do you have to wait a certain number of days before you are allowed to promote your story from when you registered? I registered earlier today and it's not letting me post anything... Quote
BronxWench Posted August 5, 2014 Report Posted August 5, 2014 Right now, you're in the validation queue. Once you've finished validating, you'll be able to post to the forum threads. It's usually no more than 24 hours before you're validated, so bear with us. Quote
Ishmael Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 How do I promote my story "Take it Easy"? It says that I'm not allowed to post on the "promote a story" thread Quote
WillowDarkling Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 Ismael, as soon as you get validated, you'll be allowed to post in that thread, and all the others that you can't post in at this time. Quote
Ishmael Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 Right. Thanks. Sorry I posted an oft-repeated question; I didn't look at the whole thread before posting. I don't suppose this is the correct place to ask you why I have "$105 points" while others have none? Quote
WillowDarkling Posted December 26, 2014 Report Posted December 26, 2014 That's for the ibEconomy. You earn points through posting, and then you can play in the ibEconomy and earn more points through buying and selling stocks and such. And you've been approved now, so please, read the "Please Read" section, and explore the forum to your heart's content. You'll find answers to most of your questions if you look around. But please, feel free to ask as well, if you're unclear on anything. But then post those questions in the appropriate threads. Welcome to the forum, and I hope you enjoy. Quote
