F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!

List of threads:

Favorite FSers
Your diehard fandoms
NSFW confession thread
Topics you wish FS would stop wanking about
What do you want FS to talk about more?
(Pan)fandom discussion post
General opinions
Fapping material?
Random rants

Anymore? That is all AO3 ever was on account of asking someone to beta was oppression.

Say it isn't so!! I know good fics exist, I've read them! I'm just so tired of wading through 3k word PWPs, dear god!!

Searching for good fic on AO3 is an exercise in futility. It was set up by people who kept getting told their writing wasn't up to spec for FF.net. These are writers who were not good enough to be able to post in the Pit of Voles! That tells you all you need to know.

Wow, I actually had no idea about that. I always thought that AO3 was a step up from FF.net. I never used to read fanfic, so I recall FF.net from my days as a kid, looking up bad lemons about Digimon characters and the such, so I figured it was rampant with badfic.

Do people still post fic to FF.net?

They're full of shit. For one thing, who goes around telling people they're not up to spec over at the Pit? I've been there for over a decade and never gotten that treatment.

I'm so gullible hahaha

Every so often the pit goes through a phase where they have to enforce their rules, one of those rules is writing competence and plot coherency. AO3 (Archive Of Our Own) was set up by people who got caught up and kicked out during one of those sweeps. I'm sorry you've fallen through the cracks, but if you give me your FF screen name I'll be sure and report you next time they go through it.

...for the gullible, this is straight-up wrong. AO3 originated from something that happened on Livejournal called Strikethrough, which was largely about banning various things that could maybe perhaps be construed as child porn if you were really stupid. (Groups affected included child sexual abuse survivor support groups and groups dedicated to lolita fashion, for perspective.) FFN never, ever enforces the "must be reasonably well-written" rules, and they never have.

I'm sorry, but you are the one that is lying. I was around when the founders of Archive Of Our Own (AO3) was kicked off FF.net and it was indeed for failure to adhere to writing standards. They responded to the request they up their written standards by screaming about social justice and homophobia, then then that failed to get their FF.net accounts reinstated they developed AO3. ~~With hookers and blackjack~~

da

I don't know why you're wasting our time with this, it's not even funny. I think you need to work on your writing, because your trolling really isn't up to par. Come back when you can create an amusing bullshit story, instead of a stupid boring one.

Boring stories are more likely to be true. Just saying someone is a troll because you don't like what they say is really pathetic by the way.

Boring stories are more likely to be true

Citation needed. The story isn't boring because of what did or didn't happen, it's boring because of the way you told it. Learn to take critique instead of blaming the reader. Part of being a writer is developing a thick skin.

As I recall the same group that precipitated the LJ thing also protested and attacked Fanfiction.net at around the same time. It sounds like you two both have a half of the whole there. Occams razor at work. Some coming from LJ and some from Fanfiction.net.

I can testify that Fanfiction.net doesn't uphold its rules very often, especially on the no crossovers in the main categories, but it does do periods of enforcement at times. They were doing so when AO3.org got set up.

Yes, but was the thing they called the AO3 founders on really terrible writing? Because that is what that anon is asserting. I've read Astolat's published novels. They're not the best thing I've ever read, but certainly anyone who was also producing that would be able to produce work good enough to stay on FFN.

I'd sooner believe that they were kicked off ff.net because of too much smut than bad writing, considering all the porn on AO3!
