    I'm not just going after Slash, I am going after Harry/Ginny.

    <_< Kinda curious....but..Why? Kinda agree with nonjon here, If you get proof that Slash and H/G Writers/Readers are the reason we are getting good stories deleted <_< Then im all for it, otherwise...seems kinda pointless to me <_< There are other websites out there you know....and if worse comes to worse @_@ Someone here could most likely just make their own fanfiction site <_< Which really doesnt sound that bad....

    ...<_< Dont hate me <_<

    Count me out on this. Even assuming that such people are at fault, doing this is only sinking to their level.

    While war on slashers & h/g shippers through ff.net sounds like some tedious fun, I have to say no on this one. If I'm looking for fiction, I go through this site, not ff.shit and that typically saves me from slash and unwanted pairings.

    What we ought to do is just recruit all the good authors here, and expand on the "Work by Author" Section...

    Er.. not to "object" or anything, but I'm pretty sure it isn't Harry/Snape slash. That would be wrong. He calls Snape "Dad" for kami's sake! *bashes head against wall* I don't dare read closer to find out whether or not it is Slash despite that, but I've been recommended this story by people as a Severitus challenge fic before. I've never actually read it, but it doesn't seem like utter tripe.

    Go after fictions that have no grammar and are loaded up the teeth with cliche's, just because you can't stand the story doesn't make it reportable material. (sorry, that just annoyed me for some reason.)

    Oops I mixed up this fic with another one *blushes*

    Oh well... Father/Son is just as bad.

    No, it actually is FF.Net's right to do that. It's their site, we can't really do anything about it but moan and groan.

    That or go somewhere else. *shrugs*

    Find other sites?

    I don't know. I subscribe to a bunch of reliable C2's and let them do all the work. Then I add it to my C2...

    Wow, I just realized why I haven't been finding any new stories from them! We are all doing the same thing! Hah, that so shouldn't be funny. Such a vicious circle...

    I don't really like this idea much. If we report other stories just 'coz others did it to stories we like doesn't mean we should go ahead and do the same. If you wanna do this then do it right. Do it 'coz it's a violation of the rules and not because you don't particularly like the story or author. Otherwise you might jsut be as bad as they are.

    Besides, if you go after SLASH, H/G and cliche stories there'd be too many for you to get to them all. if they do remove some of it, more would just come in so it's pointless targeting those ones.

    Yes, but a plan rashly thought out and acted is more likely to fuck up and leave you feeling idiotic. Thats why everyone seems to be throwing around ideas.

    On the subject of PatronusCharm though, since we all agree that FF.net is a `private owned site, they-can-do-whatever-they-wish` why dont we just do the same thing? Reject stupid bullshit, admit good shit.

    I hope the Dark!Harry author's had copies of their stories on their PC's.

    Now, I'm all for reporting fic's. They do it to us, and I'm all for returning the favour. And for all those people that are saying "don't sink to their level" it's kinda hypocritical when you write stories about Harry using Dark Arts that people consider to be "sinking to the Death Eater's level".

    Don't let these asshats get away with this and FIGHT BACK!!

    There's a difference between fan fiction and real life. Hence forth there is a difference between Harry using the dark arts and us going around reporting a bunch of fics just because we don't like there pairing/genre/whatever.

    Err... so who are you fighting back at?

    No one knows which demented individual submitted any abuse reports, assuming there were abuse reports being submitted. Perhaps it's simply the evil fanfiction.net admins going through and just finding an excuse to delete a fic they didn't like.

    Or is it time to kill all the crackers because of one klansmen?
    Man I hate whitey.

    Exactly, or nuke the whole middle east because of 9/11 and the london bombings? or Germany? If you generalize something and try to wipe it out, it can be applied to anything.

    If this is bothering you guys so much why not just make another site similar to theirs?
