Reviews and Such Posted: 2007-06-19

Until further notice, all users wishing to leave reviews must be logged in to do so.

I understand this will be a hassle for some people (myself included, I’m one of the too-lazy-to-log-in types) but this was the best approach to dealing with spam and other types of review-abuses (flaming, sock-puppets to fluff up the number of reviews, etc.) I have no problem with a user setting up review-only accounts to maintain some privacy if (s)he does not feel comfortable leaving reviews under the main account. And this new system will make it easier to track down and properly deal with those who do abuse the site.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone has any experience with php programming and has suggestions on other less-extreme methods for dealing with these kinds of problems, I would love to hear them. [id# 14]

New Rating System Posted: 2005-02-15

Effective immediately the story rating system has been modified to the following:

All - all ages
T - 13+
OT - 16+
M - 18+
xXx - self-explanatory

because the MPAA apparently has nothing better to do with their time than to bully a bunch of not-for-profit fansites who use their rating specifications in their fanwork archives.

If you have any of the MPAA ratings in your stories or descriptions, please edit them to either change them or remove them outright. As much as I hate to do so, I'll be going through the database and removing any traditional ratings on Saturday February 19th.

I apologize for the inconvenience and happy reading! ^.^

Time to bring down the hammer of... something -_- Posted: 2004-12-06

One item of note:

This is an open fanfiction site, and many of the guests here take writing very seriously. When an author posts a story, it is assumed that she/he wants real honest feedback about what the strengths and weaknesses of the story are in addition to/instead of the (always nice but not too constructive) one line 'I love it/you're the bestest/continue please!!!!/etc' ego stroke.

Having said that, with regard to not-so-positive reviews:

NO *PERSONAL* FLAMES, INSULTS, ATTACKS, WHATEVER.

This is a fanfiction site, not a haven for a bunch of mean girls(or boys) to sit around in our safe little circle of friends and mock those who do not fit our standards. I've seen harsh criticism of some of the stories here, and that's good. I've seen some that appear to be bordering on flaming the work itself and that's just dandy. But a few of the attacks are directed at the writer instead of the written work, and we do not condone that.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please email me.

Thanks.
