Save The R - Rated Stories!
Sign Now
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 higher rated stories.'
Now, authors like myself who write mostly R - rated stories are losing readers because of this! Most viewers forget to change it back to G->R and. thus, don't end up reading a large portion of fanfiction, which is what we write. As I stated before, WE ARE RAPIDLY LOSING READERS. Also, to cope with the sudden loss of readers, many great authors have been forced to dumb-down their stories to get a PG13 rating.
We will not stand for this!
I suggest that Fanfiction.net puts the listing pages back to the way they were before, only this time they can put a pop-up warning on R - rated fanfics telling the person that the story they are about to read is rated R, like they do for the NC17 stories.

Most people don't even see my updates to my series anymore because the newer parts have to be R-rated for content. It's unfair to me that I no longer get readership like

The choices are simple. Either we start lying and make R fics say pg13, or you change it back. I preferred the old way very much, and this petition is evidence I'm not alone.

I'm just entering this since I know some people, at least Albedo, only use this rating because they sometimes don't know just what course a story will take over time.

If the r-rated stories were shown by default, it would be a lot easier to read them, as people keep forgetting about them and therefore do not read them.

although I am not a member of FFN (yet) I am an avid reader of the fics. By taking out the NC-17 and R-rated fics, FFN is inhibiting the creativity of the writers. ''Unleash your imagination and free your soul,'' that is FFN's moto, so why are you restric

Absolutely and I knew it was coming. My fans hated when I dumbed down my stories but I don't want them off either. I miss the ff.net I first knew way back
