Save The R - Rated Stories!
On June 6th, Fanfiction.net changed the listing pages so that they only show stories that were G->PG13. Their explanation for doing so was, and I quote, 'to make sure users do no accidentally read... continue reading »
"We need it to be G-R! Seriously... it's the person's fault if they click on an R story and they don't want to read it."
"BLAH!! I completely and totally agree. That's sucky! I hope your petition gets far."
"This is definitly a good idea, I liked it much better when they had it the older way. I write Johnny the Homicidal Maniac fanfiction, so it's hard to write a decent one without having gore or anything in it. Plus a lot of the best stories are rated R or h"
"AHHH!! I'M GONNA GO INSANE! WHY THE HECK YOU PEOPLE DECIDE TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO HAVE A FREEDOM OF SPEECH?! Aye..."
"!!!"
"They should keep them all on one pagey! It's true, the stories don't get seen, don't get read, dont get reviewed if that blocky thingie is up."
"I whole-heartedly support this petition. FF.N has been acting appaulingly lately, all the bans and such. So writers are supposed to "Unleash their imaginations" with conditions."
"I'm with these guys. People who are too dumb to pay attension to ratings have no right to complain. Also, I don't see how it's helping you guys out since this kinda forces some authors to lie in their summary just to get more reconition and make it easier"
"Homepage I exist YEAH!!"
"It is so ridiculous for the rating to be from G to PG-13. For God's sake, who's interests does it serve? It merely annoys the 95 per cent of FanFic.net users that have reached the mental/physical level of maturity to read stories with some reality-bases. "
"Come on! If you know you are reading something you shouldnt, then it is your fault. You dont just stop showing R-rated movies, because someone under 17 sneaks in."
"C'mon people.."
"Really. I can see how removing the NC-17 stuff wouldn't be such a big deal, but removing R-rated stories from the listings? People are losing readers. Whatever happened to "Unleashing you imagination," hmm?"
"The 'G-PG13' people should just look at the rating first. But this is stupid! No one is acknowledging some of the greatest fanfictions ON FanFiction.Net! I'm sick of going back and changing the G-PG13 rating to all of the ratings! There are immature 13 ye"
"It's messed up how FanFiction.Net is supposed to be the biggest fanfiction archive online, yet it doesn't allow R-Rated fiction like lesser sites like MediaMiner and AdultFanFiction do."
"Now they don't even have the NC17 stories, anymore. They still have the R rated stories out of the main fanfiction list... This is just stupid, I'm going to other fanfiction sites."
