    Hi could you confirm something for me. I'm looking for a fic and wondering if it's one of your deleted ones. It had Missy having sex with Sophia in the locker room showers.

    Reading A Darker Path for the 999th time. I was wondering is it your story with the most canonized side stories? It feels like a community project sometimes and that makes it so much cooler.

    I'd be astonished if it wasn't.

    Something like fifty or sixty K words (out of 620K) are from side stories.
    Kinda random but while looking over your threads to see if any of your fics catch my fancy (I'm HALPING did as you can see by the likes, very entertaining if a bit crack, love it) and I saw your way old post about castings for a Worm adaptation. And I had a great one for Piggot, Margo Martindale. She was brilliant in portraying a competent ironclad fat bitch in The Americans (great show if you haven't watched it)

    Huh, okay. Cool.

    You should maybe make a new casting for Worm thread, could be fun.

    Anyway I finished I'm HALPING, I'll message you a short review soon.

    Hey boss I was just checking out your fic list in your signature. You have the fic Enter the Nemesis listed twice. Once between Entanglement and Hostage Situation. The second time between MirrorVerse and One More Trigger.
    Hey Ack, been a long time lurker and fan of your work. I actually recently missed your nsfw works and was surprised about the reason for you deleting them (especially since they were free), is it possible to send your achieve to craigoilee@gmail.com? Again thanks for all the stories you posted till now, really appreciated your stories over the years they helped me destress especially during hard times.

    Sorry, they've been deleted completely.

    I'm glad to have helped you.

    I'm currently re-watching Elementary, and listening to an audio book called Children of Time (by Adrian Tchaikovsky)
    The mirrorverse fic was fun, hope you pick it up some day. Especially given how we didn't see the end of Taylor's Bogus Adventure ;)
    Hey just want to say I enjoy your writing and understand why you took down your nsfw stuff even though it was good and was wondering if wyvern is going to pop up again soon

    Hello, i've just found your stories a few days ago and i got hooked. I finished "Security!" and got to the last chapter of "I, Panacea" (incredible stories by the way), and i was wondering, assuming you're willing to tell me i mean, when is the ending chapter of that fic's gonna be released?
    Ack

    Hi! I was just re-reading Advent of a Hero and it made me wonder if you have ever considered writing in the Xianxia/Cultivation genre? Or if that genre is even in your interest range? I was also wondering the same thing about gamer fic. Because you are one of the few people that I believe could do that genre justice. Thanks for the hours of stories and I hope you are having a beautiful day!
    Ack
    Ack
    I'm not familiar with that genre, so I probably wouldn't do too well at it, sorry.

    That's too bad but thanks for telling me. It is basically Asian mythology with a progressive power system tagged on. The creatures are like the things from the film Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli. The only good Xianxia novels I have read are parodies, so it might not be worth looking into. Lol.

    Hey Ack, you ever thought about a sequel to It Gets Worse?
    Honestly would love to see the shenanigans they would get up to in other worlds.
    I've read someone recommending a Taylor!Revenge fic of yours that I can't find. I assume it was NSFW and you deleted it? Is it possible to obtain a copy somehow?
    Ack
    Ack
    It was, I did, and it is not.
    Sorry.

    The wayback machine may have archived it. Never hurts to check

    I am beginning to think that the Wizard is actually a God of Magic, and Snek is some sort of Divine Familiar.

    Hello, new fan here, what's this about an archive? An archive for all the deleted NSFW stories?
    BJJPanda
    Anyone who asks for deleted stories should get a warning should have gotten a warning, that felt like harassment to be honest. I was just scrolling down and everything was just people posting about that. Anyways I love Snek

    There are always a lot more lurkers on a forum than there are active posters. But Ack bottlenecked access to his NSFW fics behind asking him for a copy, so a lot of people who were otherwise lurkers had to unlurk for that purpose.

    The moral of the story is "don't gate things behind something you have to manually approve without a very, very good reason".
    Ack
    Ack
    I had a good reason. That way, I could ask people to confirm exactly what they wanted (not everyone wanted everything), and to reiterate the request not to post them anywhere else under my name. "just assuming" that people knew not to do that *would* have bitten me in the ass.

    It's just smut as well, there is plenty of available smut elsewhere leave the poor man alone

    Well that's an amazingly depressing string of posts. Just deleted fic this, and archive request that… Doesn't anyone ever say 'hey Ack, I'm a fan of your writing style in general; keep up the good work!'?

    I'm going to get around to reading Utopia one of these days, it sounds like a good book :)
    DeclanDSI
    Question. Why don't you just post all your NSFW stories to AO3 and orphan them (detach your name from them) so people stop bothering you about those fics?
    Does doing that still not create enough separation for you to write professionally? If so, it sort of sucks that you have to delete that stuff in order to get taken seriously.

    Even if I orphaned them, there would be those who would always link my name to them. Especially as some of them were NSFW versions of SFW fics I was also writing. Taking them away altogether--out of sight, out of mind--is the simplest solution I can think of.

    Found it odd unless his real name is known or he is planning to professional write under this name why it was removed. Suppose he told others his real name and believe they would doxx him, shame he trusted the wrong person.

    Streisand effect will be full blast now if you ever publish work under Ack or they doxx you now...Good luck.
    Ack
    Ack
    Streisand did it wrong.
    She made a big noise about it and demanded people stop looking. That made them look harder.
    I'm just walking away, and I'd done my best to ensure that there's no actual full version of my NSFW works being hosted anywhere people can just log into.
    Out of sight is out of mind.

    Yep. I've heard there are many assholes who would try to block fanfic authors from going into serious writing because of questionable stories. Fools.

    Heyo. I fully understand your stance on the NSFW stories, but I'm still interested in the archive. As i understand the requests are driving you nuts, id ask if you could send me that archive at Thornstromb@ymail.com, and I could host them for you so as to add an extra layer of separation. I have in fact done this before for another author (Raistlinmajere over on HF)
