There's a hole in the Web like a great black pit and it goes by the name of Fanfiction.net, to paraphrase a song from 'Sweeny Todd'.

And I guess I'm showing my age when I say I remember when it was actually a pretty good place to archive your fanfiction and get feedback on it. I remember it back when it was a far smaller site, for a start. Far fewer rules. Far more categories. Far much more freedom for the author. I really AM showing my age by saying remember I used to archive NC-17 rated fics up there with no trouble at all, and that I used to have a whole slew of original fiction up there, before they shunted it all off to fictionpress.



When exactly DID ff.net go to the voles? It happened so gradually I hardly even noticed it... I guess its condition is terminal now. One of these days I'll probably jump ship like God knows how many others, but right now I'm clinging on. I at least need to finish my WIP before I even consider stopping posting there.
