    Are second person fics allowed at the FF.net? I was just told that they are not and I don't remember reading that anywhere.

    Presumably. I've never heard anything about second-person fics being disallowed over there, and one of the authors at this site has quite a popular second-person fic in progress right now = Fic
    Go for it, even if it is unusual and unlikely to draw in many people.

    Its an unusual way of writing, but really I don't think it is banned. There would be no reason to ban it. If you are really in need of confirmation then send the admins there a message asking them.

    The disallow second person fics that are speaking to the READER directly. There stories were usually teen-girl’s dream came true, and were written in a form like this:

    You move your hand down and feel up Severus’ bum, who sighs contently and raises his eyebrow at you sexily. What do you do?
    - If you run away, feeling guilty for betraying Draco, go to 1
    - If you move your hand to his crouch, go to 2


    So, Bungle is OK, because its unique writing style is directed at Harry, not at some horny fangirl.

    "Any form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and etc." <=- this does not mean stories written in the second person are against the rules, merely interactive ones that might say if you choose X go to chapter Y.

    Anyone can read these if you login to fanfiction.net. Click on "Stories" from the left hand menu. Then click on "Guidelines". You may also refer to the Terms of Service.

    Thanks. I have a story written in the second person and a reviewer told me that those type of fics are banned at the ff.net. I guess I was a little worried.

    Good going IP, almost made little old me blind. :(

    Yeah, like what others said, it's the interactive kind that's disallowed on ff.net.
