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.

OMFGosh. Did that come from the idiots in charge? That is NONSENSE. When MiSTings where banned, leading to a full MST3K ban, several people in the MST3K fic community (myself, Dragomorph/Bodger) offered to police the MST3K section. Seems like a simple thing to keep in the fic and boot the MiSTs, right? We were told point-blank that the community couldn't be trust to look after ourselves and therefore there needed to be a full ban.
Of course, there are still MiSTings floating around even though the ban went down over two years ago. Dang, I need a drink.
