Fanfiction.net orders writers to wash mouths out with soap

This is for all the Buffy and Harry Potter authors on my friends list. The original post talks about Buffy and Doctor Who, but when I followed the link, I saw that Harry Potter fandom is affected as well. I don't personally use fanfiction.net, but I know that some of you do.

Just a heads-up about fanfiction.net for those who might be interested.

If these numbers are correct, fanfiction.net just deleted roughly 12% of all Buffy and Doctor Who fic on there with no warning, no chance for writers to correct the perceived problems, and with temporary bans for those who get their stories deleted. Going by some comments I've seen, most have been removed either for using non-grade-school-friendly words in their summaries or for including "love scenes" that aren't considered "tasteful" (their words), but that's not the only thing they go by; one fic was apparently removed for including the word "killed" in its summary. One or two people have reported having their stories reinstated after mailing support, others have gotten rude replies that basically boil down to "RTFM, STFU." Personally I haven't gotten any reply at all after three days.

It might also be interesting to note that ff.net have blocked the possibility to export fics to AO3.

If you want to back up your ff.net stories and reviews, Storymaster seems to work pretty well.

Well, that's not really a surprise for anyone is it? They did ban all NC-17 fics years ago, which of course hasn't stopped people from posting them anyway. Now they are cracking down on it. Of course, as per usual, they have gone too far.

Well, apparently all my photos have been merged into the new Scrapbook. Not a single one is in the right folder and all the folders are completely messed up! Quelle surprise! And of course, I see no way to re-sort them without deleting them and re-uploading all of them.

On a happier note... I've started watching 'Brotherhood' and 'Case Histories'. Both starring Jason Isaacs. I've finished season 1 of Brotherhood and am waiting for season 2 to arrive from Netflix. I'm halfway through Case Histories, which I should finish up by Sunday. I'm loving both of them. I also watched 'Good', which has Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortensen in it. It was ok, not the best movie of the time period but not the worst I've seen either.
