twincityhackerI have this love-hate relationship with fanfiction.net. I read stuff there a lot, yet I have this deep abiding dislike of their policeys.
Like just now how they chucked all the WL? fics, except one *snort*, in the Drew Carey Show folder. Now, considering I don't even particualry like WL? fic, and WL? fic had been band for a least a year, I'm still fustrated.
Maybe it's just that they took down everything that would slightly offend people:
Tabliods are angry that we're completing with them by making stuff up about people and admiting the fact? *Poof!* Ann Rice is completly parinoid? *Boom!* People consider prose to be the only way to tell a story? *Zot!* And so on.
And they really didn't help thier case with my by posting this: We encourage everyone to assist in the care of this community by reporting entries when warranted. Those that have no respect for our policies cannot escape the watchful eyes of their peers.
So in other words, someone called in the raid.
But the really agrevating point is that it's still the largest, and possibley the best place to find stories.

Date: 2004-07-27 04:43 pm (UTC)I got "banned" from posting for about a month from FF.net because of Authors' Notes I tacked at the end of a story explaining some plot points in Whisper (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1177247/1/), a story that was posted loooong before they put up the "no author's notes" rule.
Right now, they're enforcing a "zero tolerance" policy on all stories they consider to be "under rated." You know, you post a story as R when really it's the forbidden NC-17. From what I understand, all they need is one complaint. Even though I don't think Ishmael is even close to NC-17, I don't want to chance having everything I've posted yanked from the site and finding myself permanently banned without even a warning shot fired across my bow.
