Rant. I have issues
Aug. 21st, 2008 09:19 amMost of which I will not get into today. Also, I did not comment on anyone's Anonymous Meme. If you're on my f-list, I adore you. End of commentary. Okay, I did comment on bryoneybrynn's just so she knows I don't really hate her when I tell her I do. It's just a defensive reaction from fic-inflicted pain. (Anyone reading Summer Boys knows what I'm talking about.)
Soooooo, on to the the question. I received this interesting comment from someone on fanfiction.net this morning. And I'm completely at a loss as to what to do about it.
It was well-written, friendly, concise, "I enjoyed your stories and now I'm going to fuck you over." Frankly, if I had to remove the explicit sex from my stories on ff.net there would be very little left on there. Granted, I'm breaking their "no explicit content" rules, but what the hell is the Mature rating for if not to warn people? I admit to having issues with what I consider to be freedom of speech and I have even bigger issues with people expecting me to censor myself so that their precious offspring can be sheltered from reality as long as possible. I police my own children, thank you very much, and I do not expect anyone else to do it for me. I know what they watch, I know what they read, and I know what they see. If they don't understand it, they ask me about it. I know there are millions of people out there that don't agree with that, which is fine for them. I'll be damned if I will send them an email suggesting they do otherwise. Why is it always the "too moral for my own good" assholes that have to ram their ideologies down your throat? *end soapbox*
Anyway, I don't think I will remove or change anything I have posted on ff.net. If she wants to report me, fine. Report me. It's not like my fics aren't posted all over the universe. I just really like the notification feature of ff.net. And yeah, the reviews, because I'm a comment whore. And because it's easy. I'm too lazy to bother posting at most of the other sites.
Have any of you ever been reported on ff.net? I'm actually surprised that I haven't been, because 90% of my fics are pure porn. Will they demand that I remove them or just ban me? I'm not even sure if I should reply to this chick because in my current state of annoyance it would most likely be like tossing gasoline on a fire.
*is perturbed and confused*
