No one is to make any further comments about the similar appearance of Captain Rogers and Mr. Storm. It’s not funny any more, and it’s got people asking about things that are above their pay-grade aka HIGHLY CLASSIFIED.]

Hello. As most of you avid FF readers may have figured out by now, fanfiction.net has been doing a mass purge of the site and getting rid of a lot of stories that break the rules. When one of my own stories was deleted and my account was suspended for three days, I figured it was just the site moderators going through and doing some kind of routine check. However, when I found out that more and more people were having their work deleted - in some cases, just because the summary was “inappropriate” - something told me I had to look into this. The facts about what’s really going on may surprise you.

The people in charge of this mass deletion of stories are not site moderators. They are normal users of the site like anyone else. If you go to their profiles, you’ll see that they even have work of their own. They call themselves Critics United and they basically have nothing better to do except sit around and comb through the site for any story that has some kind of minor infraction. They then post it on their forum (most seem to be on either this thread or this thread, also here) so that other members of the group can go en masse to the story and not only report it for violating the guidelines, but also bully the author via review.

It’s one thing to quietly report a story that you think has broken the rules without saying a word to the author about it. However, what these people are doing is bullying. Earlier today I screenshotted some of the reviews that they’ve been leaving on the stories they go after, and some of what they say is truly sickening.







These are only a few examples. If you browse through their forum you’ll be able to see just how intense they get. As you can see from the reviews I posted above, these people aren’t just “critics” - they are bullies. The “constructive criticism” they supposedly dole out is anything but - something tells me that true constructive critics would not use words like “shitfic” or “toxic crap.” And by posting the links to these stories in their forums, it enables everyone else in the group to go and bully these authors as well.

(Funny thing is, they complain when the authors respond to them with less-than-pleasant words. I wonder why.)

Anyway, I think something needs to be done. Critics United prides itself on being strict followers of the rules and site guidelines; however, they fail to notice that they themselves are also breaking an important rule - no bullying or harassment. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an easy solution to this problem, seeing as there’s no way to report specific users - only block them. However, I dothink it is important for everyone to know exactly what is going on. I know a lot of people were upset by what’s been happening, and they deserve to know the truth.

If you have any questions please feel free to message me on here or on my fanfiction.net account. That’s all.

They’re legitimately reporting stuff for being in second person? Let me guess: it breaks the rule that says you can’t involve the reader in the story. Except that’s not actually the purpose of second person.

This is ridiculous. 

This is horrible - what this group is doing isn’t constructive criticism, it’s organized censorship and bullying. Jesus.

FFN has allowed this sort of activity by site “users” since at least 2001, if not earlier. They’re inherently untrustworthy and not a viable place for longterm hosting of fics. 

I still have 2 AO3 invites sitting around! If you want one, hit me in my ask with the email address I should send it to.

I don’t have any AO3 invites myself, but doing a signal boost.

The fact that the site mods and admins are actually taking action on these reports - likely without even READING the stories in question, is the main reason I’m taking steps to move away from FF.net

I’m going to continue posting my drabbles and gen-fic there until the drabbles are complete (I’m currently at 161 of 221), at which point I will cease posting permanently, and only post on AO3.

I’ve requested a handful of AO3 invites, but they’re being overloaded with requests and server issues currently due to the mass influx of people leaving FF.net so it may take a while, but if any of you authors want to make the move, please let me know. I’d prefer to start giving the invites to people who actually have fic to post, rather than people who just want to interact, since you can comment/kudos on AO3 without an account, and subscribe via RSS.

the FUCK is wrong with these assholes? 

Signal boosting this. Holy crap, this is horrible

i’ve read through most of what they’re doing and on one hand i can see why they’re deleting some stuff if it violates the websites terms but taking it upon themselves to decide is really really wrong. they’re not the admins so unless something is really offensive or just a list or something then these dudes need to fuck off. downloading my ffs first thing tomorrow morning.

I’ve already backed up all the stories that I like (for personal rereading purposes of course I am also a writer and I would never steal work) and I have backed up my own and am prepared to move to a new site. I would love to move to AO3 but since invites are backed up, I still can’t get on. If anyone reading this has any left PLEASE send me a message, I would really appreciate it, if I get my own in the near future I will be sure to let everyone know so I can send out my own. This bull shit has been happening for a very long time and I’ve been a faithful user of FF.NET for nearly 10 years, but this has gotten completely out of control.
