Guys I really want you to read this. I know this is not a chapter and I'm sorry for that but I've been hearing from some authors that fan fics are being deleted with out warning by thosewhomustnotbearguedwith and I'm fearing my fan fics will be deleted as so many are. So if any of my stories are taken down I am going to publish my stories on tumblr at the moment and by next chapter I hope to have found a better blog sight. My tumblr blogs are: herromeoandhisjuliet, burningashesmeltingice and confusinglovecircle. Type those links into the search bar after Tumblr (without spaces). Also if you have trouble finding it, you can email me on here but I'm more available on my twitter: MrsLautnerMeraz, so if you could follow me on twitter and send me a DM. I really didn't want to resort to this and for now I am safe but there is a large possibility it can be taken down. I'm going to be emailing my past reviews a message telling them this just to be sure you all get this.
I would also like to add my own opinion on this because I think it is quite, utterly ridiculous. If they were to delete an author's fic, they should at least inform them before doing so or politely ask for them to do so- most authors will oblige and then if not, resort to forceful action. Also, if you were to delete our work we would have no forward warning and therefore those who have lost files or files that have been deleted will have lost their story. Fortunately I have been warned beforehand from some authors and have had to take an hour out of my free time (which I have very little of) to labour over finding any of the chapters from my stories since my computer has lost many of them from crashing. I had only found a few and had to resort to flicking through my fan fics and copy and pasting and then sorting them into organized files and then creating a new tumblr for my fanfics and then going to find a new blog that would, for me, be better than tumblr which I have yet to complete. Believe me, this was not a joyful task and now I've had to waste another half an hour, one in which I could be writing another chapter, writing this note. I really don't see the point of this effort. I believe that it is as easy as creating an MA button and if you really are worried about children deeming themselves older than they are then that is not something to your concern. Their parents are the ones that are at fault for even letting them read an adult fan fiction or not looking over their stories. I think you will loose many readers, many writers and therefore a lot of money as the adult age group is the most popular. So please, it would be much more beneficial for us if you would create this.

This is actually about how Fanfiction is deleting stories with too much sex or violence. Fanfiction will be losing a lot of readers and authors if this happens. Please take the time read what is below and I promise you the new chapter will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.
Greetings to the fine folk that moderate our site.
Myself, 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 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 its 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.
