Ok I have to rant now. Even though it's kind of weird it's just that I'm pissed off with the admins of fanfiction.net. They just took down four of my fics. Maybe I was breaking a few regulations but hell everyone does it all the time on that site. So, why not let the people keep there stories up?

Cuz they're stupid jackasses that's why. Don't hold up the right to the freedom of speech. I don't think anyone dares to give the admins of ff.net a flame email though. I would only if I find another site that will allow me to have the fics up again in my way that they are orginally in. Yup done with the little rant.

Why did they take them down? Which specific rules were you breaking?

Key words right there. If you were breaking the rules, then you really don't have much of a right to contest.

Well some of the rules they have are really dumb. Like the no script format rule to have your fics in.

It doesn't really matters if their rules are dumb or not, if you want your fics to be hosted there, you'll have to abide by them.
If you can't comply with that, you'll have to look for other hosting.

I haven't been to FF,net since they took the NC-17 fics down. There are loads of better places to post your fiction up at. What kinda stuff do you write?

What would make me really happy is if they deleted the fics.

Not your fics. ALL the fics.

What really irks me about the whining and bitching that lead up to the NC-17 fiasco is this...

But then it's their site, they can delete stuff some other people add as they wish.

Freedom of speech applies to the goverment what they can do and not do. Not to some webmaster.

That everyone else doing it even if it's against the rules is not a good excuse for doing it yourself.

At least you found another site to host the fanfics on.

Sooo, how was I suppose to know what MST's fics are. I don't even understand what that means anyways.

LOL, that's good guessing but I don't think that's what MST means though.

MST *is* Mystery Science Theater, basically it was a show where these guys ripped the shit out of movies and stuff. A MST fic is where you set up your own characters or borrow some (like Dragonlance Science Theater XD ) and make fun out of really bad fanfiction.

I'm wondering why you use FF.net for them. As much as I've been there (not often, but I get enough, and I'm not in it for the NC-17 stuff) it was pretty much telling me to branch past that site.

Every time I do that via links there, I've been a lot better off and I've found stories a lot better than anything that was on FF.net (minus an author here and there that were on par or better), that or just Googling for fics in general saved me a lot more time than browsing through FF.net's site. If you've got a decent site for them, then you shouldn't have to worry about FF.net...and the extra rules they added are just telling you that someone in management is getting an assload of complaints for regular members more than likely. That's how anything like that works...it's how we work even (hey...we got tight for a while and then we cooled down a bit).

If you've got some really great material, then you don't -need- to have it on that site. Case closed.

I don't read fanfics. At all. I've never really understood the point of them. It's not official, and it's not a part of ANY continuity whatsoever. It's like one big lie.

It, doesn't, count!

It's the same as enjoying a Rembrandt painting, that was painted by your next door neighbor. :/

Let's just put it to you this way, Leg...

It's a choice. Sort of like anime or politics or something else is. To be honest, that's most, if not all, of my reading material right there. I'm very hard to please in the reading aspect and my comprehension totally blows. Had the problem since whenever...it just appeals to what I like to read for what I want to read. Doesn't necessarily mean that -all- of them are good, but a select few are...and if anything else it continues on a path you'd wonder about in terms of creativity. An art, if nothing else.

Or I could be talking complete bullshit and not know what the fsck I'm talking about but eh...I've been reading them for years...don't think I'll stop anytime soon as long as the good and long ones keep trekking onward.
