The answer I'm leaning towards is 'Screw the reviews, let's read this fic with rockets launchers standing by.'
And the general level of fic... hmm... search up Deathstalker (mainly for the Resident Evil section, but expands once in a while) or SuicideKing (for Harry Potter). Those will assure you that you never wish to return to the site again. But yes, you can get the very, very, very occasional goodfic on the site (or, at the very least, averagefic). I've encountered two that I can think of: one which has no smut whatsoever and just focuses on killing Lara Croft in a thousand different ways. It was well-written and the idea was so obvious yet rare that it was immediately spared my wrath. The second was a... actually, I can't remember what the second one was. A contender for the spot, however, would be a Star Wars fic with would be a very good (and incredibly phregging disturbing) torture fic if it hadn't had the sexual elements in (though, it's been a while since I've read it and they could potentially enhance the story further depending on your mindset).
AFF has very few non-smut fics and, hilariously, the reviewers complain when something isn't smut. DCase in point: that Tomb Raider fic mentioned above, one reviewer shouted 'ZOMFG how can you find this erotic, you sick bastard' or something to that extent, completely missing the point that it was simply too bloody for FF.net, rather than being too erotic.

If I want to see my favourite characters have explicit sex (and I occasionally do), I have my better places to find it. Places with classier layouts and funnier jokes. Still, as far as I know, it's just FF.net with more smut, yeah? I haven't browsed it enough to have any idea what the general level of fic is. The only times I've been is when a specific fic has been recced to me.
I'm likely to treat the reviews with equal respect (translation: none) and either just read the fic myself to find out or not bother at all.
There are good fics on FF.Net, so I'm sure there's good fics on AFF.Net. However, the reviewers are much worse judges of good writing than the actual writers are in my experience so I don't bother taking them at face value.
(FYI, Adultfanfiction.net seems much more like smut for smuts sake than what I'm into (if Cassie gets back in time to read this she's gonna laugh her head off) so I don't go there very often.)

I got asked an interesting question yesterday, to which I have no answer.
"A fic is on Fanfiction.net and Adultfanfiction.net, word for word identical. If you read the reviews for the fic before the fic itself, which would you believe? A review on FF.net saying that the fic is good/horrible or a review on AFF.net saying the exact opposite?"
What the hell is the logical response? Generally, reviews from both FF.net and AFF are rubbish and worthless, AFF only moreso. However, you get the occasional intelligent reviewer on FF.net. But you also get the very rare person on AFF who appears to be a decent human being. I even spotted one person who could justifiably say 'If you don't like it, don't read it', something that I can't say the same for FF.net.
What are your views on this?

Now I want to read IW... but 2000 pictures! *computer explodes*
But other than that, what about the X-Men comics. I've never read them, but one person told me that, at the end of the Twelve plotline, Cyclops died and reality was shattered and 'shards of possibility' were floating around, leading to anything having the potential to happen.

I don't mind placing Nume and Ilraen in the corridor by an exterior door, but then there should probably be some notice taken of the Outside.

I don't think my normally female Agents would be very pleased about suddenly having harem girl outfits barely covering their new male bodies. Hell, they wouldn't be pleased about that even if they were still female. You want Drake skinned alive by a pissed off thief?
I know, it wouldn't happen, but that's what he would threaten to do. He's already tried to shoot Drake, remember.
Besides, I wrote them having to change outfits because their usual ones were too small. And no one else has changed into harem girl outfits either.

- Traumatizing Amano Ginji in order to get him to toast all the 'Sues in the vicinity with lightning will result in an investigation of my sanity and capability, not to mention angry (armed) visits by fellow agents for harming a canon.
932. While photographs of Lee "Apollo" Adama in various stages of undress are acceptable currency in HQ, pieces of his clothing are not.
933. Revealing canonical crossdressers to other canons is usually in poor taste and/or dangerous to the canons. I will refrain from doing so unless it is necessary to the mission and I neuralyse them afterward.
934. The Suncrusher is not a toy.

928) Holby City ED is not a substitute for Medical, even if I do think that my injury is too embarrassing to explain to Doc Fitz
- St. James' ED is also out of bounds
- Nor am I to go to any other canonical hospital for treatment
- Or to any World One hospital
- No, not even if I neuralyse the entire department to remove any trace of my presence
- If the injury was acquired in the continuum and the target is in that department, then that is okay
929) Ronon Dex is not my 'snuggle bunny'
930) I will not taunt the angry System Lord

If you don't read the comic, all you need to know is that the entire universe (multiverse?) has been destroyed, and everyone is on the Infinite Featureless Plane of Death.
What I'm wondering is if David Morgan-Mar has heard of us. O.o
