I've been thinking of what to do with my stories since Yourfanfiction closed down.
I could return to this site, upload my rewritten chapter and upload the new one I've written for "Mission Yokai" but in the end I would feel like I was supporting Fudge while he claimed that Voldemort hadn't returned or Scrimgeour while he arrested guilty and innocent alike to be seen 'doing something'. (I'm only comparing smut fiction with Voldemort in so far that both break the rules set for them.)
I could try and find a new site, but those I've come across so far either have a worse layout than yourfanfiction, isn't very user friendly or has a lacking breadth when it comes to catagories (and are slow to add new ones). If you have suggestions for that I would be grateful.
The last option I can think of is to just abandon the stories and maybe (or maybe not) write some Harry Potter ones instead since I already know of a good site for those. All these troubles with the sites I've been posting on have been ruining my writing spirit, first with the move from this site and just as I was getting it back Yourfanfiction shut down, so this option is starting to be more tempting than I like to admit. (if I didn't find honesty so important I wouldn't admit it at all.
Still I'll see what your opinions are by making a poll on my profile with these 2 options:
Write some Harry Potter fiction and tell us where you'll post it
Find another site and re-post your story there
I hope that at least some of those voting for the second option will also write some suggestions in a review as to where I can move it.
For those thinking that I if I feel that the current administrators are like Fudge and Scrimgeour than I should fight them like Harry did I say the following: I do not have the power or the skills needed to lead such and effort, but if someone like that turns up I will be like Seamus, Ron or many of the battlers at Hogwarts and stand with them. Sadly I think most are contend that the purge is over so there is no reason to focus on it anymore, or maybe they are taking a higher path like Naruto and saying forgive and forget (though personally I think that mentallity should be saved for when a real change has occurred).
For people thinking that this is a grudge message I can only ask: What grudge? My stories were never taken down and neither was most of the stories I follow. There where 3 stories, maybe four, of the stories I really liked that were taken down and that isn't enough for me to make Fudge comparisons just to get back at the site.
This message is based upon how I've seen things have been happening and I write it to give people insight into where I'm coming from when I say that I can't return to this site as it currently is. I am aware that what I've seen and what meaning I've given it is based on my own subjective opinion so I might have gotten the wrong impression, but I can't ignore my own observations.
Kind regards
