[Author's Personal Note] I know I need to update this soon and I will but this is more important.
As many of you have seen the people who run this site have decided to finally enforce a rule they made up about 10 years ago which means we aren't allowed to post lemons or violence on this site anymore. While I (as far as I know) am not breaking that rule personally I know a lot of fics that are brilliant and have either if not both of these problems in them (See favourite authors or stories for examples) and don't want to see them gone.
There are a few things I want to know involving this:
One, if the rules FF say are up have been around since 2002 why is it only in 2012 10 years later that they actually do something about it.
Two, as far as I was aware the point of the M rating was to say 'this story contains sexual content and/or violent material' which apparently it doesn't so I want to know what are we meant to put in it?
These aren't me supporting the people who run this stupid idea, this is me pointing out what the moderators are doing is a stupid idea.
Please somebody do something before the site loses it's best authors and most avid readers/reviewers.
Attention All Readers. Reviewers, and Authors!
The administrators of are as of June 4th going to be taking down Fics that have lemons or have extreme violence. Now I don't know about you but I think that's stupid. There are many wonderful fics that only have one or two lemons in them yet the plot itself is awesome! You can't just take down a 100,000+ word fic just because it has a lemon in a chapter that is only 1000 words long. Now I urge you all to read the petition below, sign it, and repost this to your own fics. Hopefully if we make enough noise everything will return to normal. Thank you.
Greetings to the fine folk that moderate our site.
I, along with many, have been writing and posting on your fine site for years now, some of the better examples of up and coming writers out there are, are now suddenly finding some of the stories we've come to love at risk of being removed without the chance to even rectify our errors.
For some, that means the permanent loss of a story. While I don't have anything that (I believe) violates your terms of use, there are those out there that are never able to recover a story in it's original form, this is something I find to be almost worthy of a legal action, as while we cannot claim ownership of a character, the stories are OURS and simply destroying them is something that is inexcusable.
It's quite easy to simply add an MA rating, additional filters or even a simple requirement for a free membership to read the stories presented here, and would cut down on hateful anonymous reviews and posts at the same time, so I have to question as to why such a thing, in all this time, simply wasn't added.
If you're worried about falsification of a registration then have an appropriate disclaimer and then there can be no dispute, you took your steps and the PARENTS didn't monitor their children, if that is even your concern. If it is more of a personal view or desire then please at least let people know and give them a chance to remove a story that you and yours find offensive, most people on the site are actually rather cordial when it comes to such requests.
While I cannot say for sure if this letter will even reach those that may be willing to listen, of if it's more akin to a wide spectrum purge in preparation for something bigger, please understand that you are going to be losing a LARGE number of your writers, and thus your income from a lack of readers if there is not some level of action taken to help with this situation.
For those that may agree with this, please feel free to sign on and send this to the support server, maybe we can get some movement on this.
