I am leaving FF.net.
Sunday, 18 July 2004 00:56I got another email tonight from FF.net. 2 of my stories has now been removed..."A Childhood Promise" and "A Mission for Revenge." Someone calm me down before I do something drastic. So I wrote this email for ff.net and sent it to them:
Someone doesn't like me. In 2 days, 2 of my stories get removed from FF.net. First one--"A Childhood Promise," a FF7 lemon of mine. A short little romantic story that yes, gets descriptive. I'm a writer, and it's what I do. Description is usually a key element when one writes, wouldn't you agree? That story is not a mindless porn story by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, it's a short little love story. Apparently one isn't allowed to be descriptive. Your guidelines apparently hamper one's ability to be creative.
The second story, "A Mission for Revenge," was my first fanfiction that I posted under you. That story has been posted for about 2 years now. It wasn't wrong then, so why did you feel you had to remove it? Because it had one chapter of graphic content? Oh, no, spare me! One chapter of descriptive sexual content, oh no! Why do you think I rated it R? My story could be compared to the likeness of a rated R movie. Again, one isn't allowed to be creative because of your guidelines. If I can't write to my ability because of rules, then your motto, "unleash your imagination and free your soul" is a load of total and complete garbage. It's a lie to the highest degree. Why do you feel the need to restrict one's creative ability? Because of political correctness? Because you don't want to offend those parents who are too lazy to put blocks on their childrens' Internet so they don't access (gasp) sexual content? An act of romance? Oh, no, not romance! Anything but that!
No wonder why writers get annoyed. When one writes, they want to USE their ability, you know, that thing that you guys are trying to suppress by not allowing descriptive content.
Personally, I'm amazed about how you can have a motto like that and keep a straight face. What's next? Someone writes a fic with heavy language and violence and that's acceptable by your standards? Apparently so. Apparently, hindering one's creative ability is a good thing.
