The fanfiction.net songfic petition

"В"

"This really is not fair"

"WHAT!?! When did this happen? The first thing I ever posted was a songfic! Are you gonna start banning poetry too? Every single author always gives credit where credit is due! No one that I've ever met on the site EVER claimed any work as their own, unles"

"Banning songfics goes against the fanfiction.net motto, as said in this petition, if people can't "unlease their imagination" their way (legally of course, most people do) then why would they want to put their stories up on this website? And many authors "

"I am a firm believer in songfics. I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed. It's not as though we're claiming the songs as our own - responsibe writers put disclaimers and give credit to the artists. If FF.net has trusted us with storied riddled with cop"

"Long live songfics!"

"While I don't write any songfics, nor read them too much, I think these bans that are being put up are incredibly stupid. As I'm sure others have said, you shouldn't use your catchphrase, "Unleash you imagination and free your soul!" if you are going to p"

"I don't write pure songfics but I like e'm!"

"Honestly, what on earth has happened to Fanfiction.Net? When I first joined, it seemed like a really cool place. Then the restrictions started building up. And up. And up. I stopped going there because I became so frustrated with that. And now I find that"

"I agree with this petition."

"What's the difference between me using Theresa/Fox and giving credit to NBC and using "As Long As You Love Me" and giving credit to the Backstreet Boys?"

"That is not fair to ban songfics! They may be copyrighted, but so are the characters we use in our stories! That is why it is called "Fanfiction"!"

"As many other people have said, if this is due to some sort of copyright issue, why is it we can write fanfiction at all? As long as people give credit to the original source, why is it such a big deal? Come on, think how many writers and readers you're g"

"-Le Gasp- I don't know if I have one because I used to work them into chapters,, and I have so many.. -sob-"

"I've completely stopped visiting FFN for the fact that it's been going down the crapper since you installed the last ridiculous rule (Banning NC-17's and chasing away half of the literate authors). Why don't you guys stop wasting your, and our time and ju"

"This is such a stupid rule, LETS STAND UP AND SAY OUR RIGHTS! FREEDOM OF SPEECH!..XD"

"If the author credits the singer, there is no reason they should not be able to use the lyrics. If we use this same logic as to why soongfics were blocked, then all fanfiction might as well be blocked. After all, we did not create the characters we are wr"

"I think it's horrible all the restrictions that FFN seem to be imposing on us all lately. When will the hypocrisy stop? I'm not sure if I feel at all free to be creative and use my imagination when there are limits to how I can use them."
