I, at 35, had to tell my 67-year-old aunt she had symptoms of chlamydia after talking to me about her online hookup. She had no idea what that was. That was fun. Particularly when she called me back with, "You were right, they gave me medicine to take care of it, but I still have a few pills left in case it comes back."
He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
Yes, the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Well done!
No, the new forum design is from the mid 00s or early 10's. It was updated a few years ago. Before that, it was the original since 95' bbc code forum design. LipstickAlley uses this design too, and they switched to it back around 2019, I believe, according to users there. The profile side has been upgraded recently, the main story site is still vintage to it's creation, though. InThe00's still uses a 90s program, and City-Data still uses the design that came just before this one.
Alternatives to here? There's a few sites that allow erotica. It's much more than erotica. More youngin's put their fanfiction on Tumblr, then discover AO3 exist. The site just had it's 14th birthday, too. The reason it seems like(and probably is) there's a lot of erotica and smut, is because it and AdultFan-Fiction where both made in retaliation to FanFictionNet, because they ban sex, and some other hard themes. Honestly... more sites should be like them. Only Inkitt comes close.
Yeah and tumblr
There are some stories on AO3 that aren't erotica or blatant porn - but not many. A fandom like for Dorothy Sayers is split between excellent character studies and some very tasteful erotica in 1920s style. Stories involving any Korean boy band currently popular with teens? Pure smut, ranging from shy romance getting as far as kisses, all the way to physically impossible gay filth. Almost all AO3 stories are about two characters and some form of relationship, ideally sexual if you want readers.
Three fandoms I read has barely any erotica. Peauts, Daria, and Calvin & Hobbes. There was quite a bit of Teen Titans that wasn't erotica, same for Danny Phantom. There's a lot of erotica, but there's more than just a scant few non erotic stories.
A good age...
I guess I’m not the youngest person here.
Dug a few holes and built a few outhouses. I also lived on many dirt roads. Even traveled across pre-Interstate roads with rest stops that had those outhouse facilities. Crossed the southern states with 'separate but equal' restaurants and 'white only' drinking fountains as a kid. Orphans get bounced around places like that, too. Cars had vacuum wipers and separate pedals for starters. Air conditioning wasn't a thing at all back then in cars or homes. We've made some progress. Not to mention the advancements from corncobs, thankfully, to toilet paper.35-year-old, black, lesbian female. I started here back in 2017 or 18. I left after a year, maybe two, and came back sometime in 2021. I think. Yes, I'm sure it was October 21 when my first story was posted this go-round. When I left, I had all my work pulled down. I think there are those younger than me that write here, maybe not many, and certainly those older. Why some of y'all predate indoor plumbing and paved roads!
