IMPORTANT! STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF FANFICTION!

Hi Everyone on DA

As many of you know, I do rant! If something pisses me off I feel I have to rant, especially when it comes to people who are idiots, censoring of art and most of all Soccor moms!

I remember I made a journal entry about Internet Censorship and how we had to stand up and fight against it because we believe in Internet freedom! Here's the Link: dragonheart69.deviantart.com/j…

Well I got a message from a couple of people on Fanfiction saying the admins are considering taking down M Rated fics! They are removing anything involving sexual situations, or violence, or inspired by a song, the list goes on. And we as readers see this as a gross waste of talent and incredible material.

This is stupid because Fanfiction.net has always been a place for us writers to 'Unleash our imagination' as the tagline states, and now we are having that right to freedom of speech and expression taken away from us. Since when are they allowed to dictate what goes into our stories? They are OUR pieces of work. What if the violence or sexual content is part of the plotline? This whole situation is retarded. There are better ways to deal with 'inappropriate' content than to remove it altogether. What about adult filters? Age restrictions? There are so many other options!! THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO!

Also if many M rated stories are removed, the site will loose a LARGE number of writers and income from the lack of readers! Many writers love writing stories whether they're good or bad that contain violence, sexual content and other materials and many writers, myself included, post warnings and disclaimers about the content in their stories so people know what they're about to read and have to choice whether to read it or not!

Many of us believe Fanfiction are worried about falsification of a registration then have an appropriate disclaimer and then there can be no dispute, they took their steps and the PARENTS DIDN'T MONITOR THEIR CHILDREN, if that is even their concern. If it is more of a personal view or desire then please at least let people know and give them a chance to remove a story that they find offensive, most people on the site are actually rather cordial when it comes to such requests.

Well my opinion is why should our M rated stories by taken down? We've worked had on them and we've enjoyed posting them on Fanfiction and people have enjoyed reading them! We are the ones who make the site an enjoyable place to be! If all that was taken away, where will we go to escape the real world once in a while? Fanfiction is one of my favouraite places to escape the real world, even if it's for a few hours, it's a place where I can totally escape the world that we live in and all it's annoyances/greivances and the like.

If this is all about Soccor moms saying kids are reading our stuff, it's not our fault that kids may look at our stories when the parents aren't looking! And for the record! PARENTAL CONTROL ON COMPUTERS, TVS AND GAMES CONSOLES WERE INVENTED FOR A REASON! BUT PARENTS CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT AND WANT TO CENSOR THE WORLD LIKE SHEILA BROFLOVSKI FROM SOUTH PARK!
With Parental Control, parents can filter stuff on computers who when kids are surfing the net they can't access certain sites that they shouldn't be viewing!

Censoring fanfiction is not the way to go! We writers and readers believe in a free internet! We don't want Censorship! WE WANT TOLERANCE!
