Re: Fanfiction.net Deleting Smutty Fics

Yes, I agree. If they're going to allow stuff to slide for years, then it makes it look like it's actually allowed after all. At which point I figure it's only common courtesy to let someone know that their fic which has been up there for years with no problems is about to be deleted because in Chapter whatever, such-and-such language isn't permitted. Because as I said above, for an example, I think the possibility that I may lose an entire 30,000-word story (not to mention all the associated reviews) just because in say Chapter 8 someone says "Fuck!" without me even being told that it's an issue and being given a chance to correct that one frigging word, when it's been up for years and, going by what is apparently permitted (looking at what else is up on the site) was perfectly fine-- gah.

Is sorting by popularity the automatic default? I always thought it sorted by newest to oldest. How do they even rank popularity? Hits? Number of reviews? Without having some kind of rating system like adultfanfiction.net has (which I really like, btw; just because something's only had a few reviews doesn't mean people aren't reading it and enjoying it; and of course just because it has a lot of reviews doesn't mean it's not full of people going "Um... yeah.") then how do they rank popularity, I wonder?

I mean, going just by hits, something like "My Immortal" might be one f the most popular fics on the site! Which I suppose is probably true at that, heh.

Sorry, I meant the fandom categories are sorted by popularity(# of fics for that fandom.)not the fics themselves. If you go into the book section Harry Potter is the first on the list now. You have to change it back to alphabetical yourself now every time you go on the site. It's just stupid for a site like FF.net that has so much changing all the time, smaller fandoms jump all over the place frequently with a system like that, especially when they go on their deletion sprees.

Like I said it's really nitpicky, but it gets on my nerves since I'm in a small fandom I nearly didn't find the category for before I figured out you have to click on the 'all' in front of the alphabet list.

Ah, I see! That makes sense, thanks!

I honestly never really noticed that, probably because my fandoms never end up in the top-whatever most popular ones, so I pretty much just go "Search" and pick a category automatically.

I can see why that would be annoying, though! I remember waaay back when, just after the first Hellboy movie came out, how excited we were when ff.net finally created a specific Hellboy category, instead of just lumping those fics under "Misc." Made it much easier to find them!

Now if we can just get people posting in Misc to list the fandom in their summaries... XD
