So, it seems FanFiction.net has some new guidelines. As of June 4 (3 days ago) the administrators will be taking down any stories containing lemons or extreme violence. Personally, I think that's a bit extreme. To take down an author's story without any notice or time to take it down themselves is wrong. They could make an MA rating available, or at least send an email explaining why your story is in jeopardy and a warning to take it down or modify it by a certain date. They could even require registration to read stories rated M.
There are many people who post stories online, thinking they are safe, and delete them off of their computer. By doing what they are doing, they could be deleting that story without any way of the author having backup so they could post it on another website.
If you agree, there is a petition going around. Sign your username at the bottom and post to your stories, ANs, profiles, etc. (You'll find mine on my profile.) Hopefully, this can be resolved reasonably. As most of you know, if this does start to really take effect, some of my stories will be deleted, and if that happens, I will start posting on Wattpad. I love FF.N, I think it's a great website, but if they want to keep their readers, they need to consider some of our suggestions.
