SkyBubble Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I’ve been floating around looking for the place to post stories. What are teh logistics/mechanics of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi! Stories get posted in our Archive, which is comprised of a number of subdomains based on your fandom ‘verse, as well as Original Writing. You can find the Archive Home Page here. We have a FAQ explaining how to upload a story to the Archive right here. Some other very helpful FAQs cover disclaimers, story tags, and general information about stories in the archive. And finally, if you have an issue uploading a story, or aren’t sure what subdomain you need, you can always reach out here on the Forum in the General Staff Questions thread, or via email to tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org. The email address is monitored regularly, and we try to respond to every inquiry within 24 hours. I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBubble Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 None of the things in the FAQ work. I cannot get any of it to function. I have several stories I’d like to post. When I get to the Archive, what do I do next? I’m very frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like “My Control Panel” appears. I tried going to http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org Taht page didn’t seem to have me logged in, so I tried the Login. It kept disappearing when I typed in it, and it didn’t seem to take my login. Now, I’m just getting a blank page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBubble Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 So I tried a different browser. If got me to the www.adult-fanfiction.org page, but no matter how many times I click Login and type in my ID and password, it won’t log me in. This is true on 2 different computers. I have several stories I want to upload and share with the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxWench Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Okay. Your Forum Profile will not have a Control Panel, because stories are not supposed to be posted to the Forum. So, don’t look around in the Forum for a place to post a story. The first step is to log in to your Archive Profile. Navigate to this url: https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/html-index.php (The first link you provided above was to a blank page because it is the old http link and not the current https link.) At the top of that Archive home page, you will see a menu bar, as illustrated in the first FAQ I linked. At the far right, you will see the Login menu option. Clicking that will open a dropdown, where you need to type in your email address that you used to make the Archive account, and the password you set for that account. Do NOT use your pen name, or your user ID number. Those won’t work. Please also remember that the password is case sensitive, so if you used a capital letter anywhere when creating the password, you will always have to remember to use a capital letter. You should also have a password that is 8-12 letters and/or numbers long, with NO punctuation, spaces, or special characters like @ or &. Just letters and/or numbers please. Then click the button that says “Login” right below where you typed in your email address and password. Once you have successfully logged in, you will be able to see your pen name in that far right end of the menu bar. That’s where you will find the Control Panel, in the dropdown that opens when you click on your pen name. Clicking Control Panel takes you to the page where you will begin the process of posting your story. There are two menus on the left side. The first menu contains links that will let you update your Archive profile. The second menu lists the Story Managers for each subdomain. It is important that you post your story in the correct subdomain, so if you have a story about Harry Potter, you will see that the fandom has its own subdomain. That’s where you would post the story, as opposed to Books or Movies. If your story is about a particular movie, you would go to the Movies subdomain. Once in the correct subdomain, you can choose a next-level category. The FAQ I linked for you in my first post explains this with illustrations, so it may be a good idea to read that FAQ again. As far as browsers, unless you are trying to use the late and unlamented Microsoft Explorer, you should not have any issues. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and other current browsers work with our site, both in desktop/laptop versions and in mobile versions.

SkyBubble Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 I’ve logged into https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/html-index.php numerous times. It gives me the Login, I click it, I input my information (ID & Password), and it doesn’t log me in. So I try it again and it doesn’t log me in. This is on more than one computer. What subdomain do I use for a celebrity who hasn’t been written about here before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillowDarkling Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 In the case of a Celebrity who does not have a dedicated individual subdomain, or does not fall under any of the other subdomains under the Celebrity domain (Musicals/Plays, WWF/WWE, My Chemical Romance, etc) the story would go in Celebrity – Misc., and then into whichever category would be appropriate (General, Het-male/female, Slash-male/male, etc).

What subdomain do I use for a celebrity who hasn’t been written about here before? Please email me the information you are using to log in. This way, I can check to make sure the email address matches what we have in the database, and I can see if there’s an issue with the password. I do not recommend posting member email addresses on this forum, since it’s public and we all hate spambots. The email address to use to contact me is tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org.
