dysonrules | Rant update.

First I would like to thank everyone on my list that was uber-supportive yesterday. I LOVE YOU!!! You made the irritation much easier to bear. I wrote to the morality policewoman and she replied. Although I refuse to dignify her with another response, it actually annoyed me more than her first letter. To that end I put a bit of a rant on my ff.net profile. If they ban me, then so be it. I refuse to knuckle under to blackmailing holier-than-thou bitches. OMG, I am FUMING!

Dyson: Thank you for taking the time to email me rather than simply reporting me. I am thinking about your demand and will most likely pull the fics. I hope that prior to reporting me you will give me some time to copy and paste the reviews I have received for it, as there are people on there that I would hate to lose contact with. Since ff.net does not allow you to archive or download the reviews or the reviewers, I will have to note their profiles individually.

Also, I would like to know if you plan to address my other stories. Several of them have hundreds of reviews and it will take me some time to copy and paste them into a Word document. This is the first complaint and threat I have received in nearly two years of posting, so I am a bit unprepared.

I am reviewing my fics to make sure they are tagged appropriately, although because the current ff.net system does not show M rated stories in the general forums and instead requires the reader to actively search for this type of content, I felt confident that anyone who came across my work was seeking something with more mature themes. I shall endeavor to correct that oversight.

Bitch: Of course if you'll take care of it I won't report you. I hate the idea of actually reporting someone and having their fics removed with no warning. Take your time! I looked at the definitions of the ratings on fanfiction.net; M is "possible strong but non-explicit adult themes," while MA (which must be the same as NC-17 as doesn't exist on fanfiction.net) is "possible strong but non-explicit adult themes."

My understanding of this is that sex scenes are okay, as long as there's a well-placed fade-out. It's the "explicit" that's not allowed. I really do like your stories, and it'd be a shame to take them all down. Maybe you could just cut that bit from the fanfiction.net versions, and direct readers to your homepage?

But you're the author. I've said my piece, and thank you so much for listening to it.

As I said, I will not dignify her pretentious pseudo-friendly bullshit with any more of my time. But I did put this on my profile:

Dyson: Recently a reader sent me an email regarding my lack of "warnings" about having mature sexual content in a particular fic. Which surprised me because you specifically have to search for fics with MATURE content and WHAT THE HELL is the MATURE warning about if not sexual content?? I mean WTF? Seriously!!

Anyway, she tried to actually get me to REMOVE the sex from some of my fics to suit her own personal preferences. Which is blackmail. Which I despise. It is also censorship. Which I absolutely despise. I'm certainly not going to shove my own morality (or lack thereof) down anyone's throat and I will appreciate it if they keep their own fucking opinions to themselves. I will absolutely not (and I mean NEVER) change a word of my writings to please someone's version of morality. And any author who does so should quietly put their computer away and never write again. Because it never ends. In summary, my fics contain graphic sex. They also contain homosexuality. A lot of it. If this offends you, fuck the hell off and don't read it, but do not EVER try to tell me to change it.

Anyway, enough ranting about that. For the uninitiated, here is a blanket warning: MY FICS CONTAIN A LOT OF SEX. DEAL WITH IT OR GET LOST. I added a bunch of stupid warnings just to please the moral minority. (end soapbox)

If she reads that she'll most likely report me, but I no longer give a flying fuck. *is indignant*
