AFF is a market. Each author is a company; the fics are products; comments, subs, and karma are profits; there is competition between us through advertisement and product updates; nichi is our leader and the Mods are his law enforcers allowing this laissez faire; and the featured authors are the monopolizing companies with products that sell hot. AFF is very much a market. By anazlyzing any market we can understand why some products are more popular than others and how to make quality product

Tips for new and old writers on creating original fictions!  A place to discuss, ask questions or bash plot holes and overused plots!

Hey guyss! So I hate it when people have grammar errors or spelling mistakes in their stories- it just ruins everything for me.

Writing Tips, rants, overused prompts/storylines, etc.   This is where I tell you AFF authors things not to do, because if not, your story will end up being cliched, over the top, and excrutiatingly painful to read [if it isn't already].

Maybe you only clicked on this story because the ridiculous title caught your eye. Or maybe you just get a kick out of watching me trying to be funny. Whatever your reasons are, this tutorial is written for

  "Everybody makes mistakes."-Hannah Montana You're right on, Miley Cryus. Even though your acting wasn't that great, nor was your television show, you still captivated our tiny six-year old minds back then. At least...you captivated mine. Your television show taught me to be myself and don't be afraid to show your true colors. But most importantly

I've been in AFF for a total of 9 months and counting, and I've read a lot of fanfictions before I started my own, both about K-Pop and other fandoms. In my first time here in AFF, I was introduced to the most amazingly written fanfictions and awesome authors. But the longer I spent my time here, the longer I saw a lot of flaws in AFF stories. A lot of Mary Sues were in the making or already made, a lot of cliche stories were featured, and the grammar

I'm sure most of you have heard this, but I will repeat it. Writing is an art. It requires creativity and dedication on the author's part. Whatever the quality of the story is, authors should be respected, since they have put their sweat and tears into presenting the community with a story.   And it should be kept this way. Let me first put this out there, this

This is actually a collection of ranty blog posts that I wrote today(2/8/14). I have a feeling more thoughts like this will come to me, so I'm going to do it this way.   I am in a bad, and intensely judgy mood.
