Fan Fiction Authors Unite! Give Us Back Our Write To Post!
On behalf of all the authors that write within the categories of “Musical Groups,” “Sports,” “Actors,” and TV Shows such as “Survivor,” “Big Brother,” and “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” on FanFiction.Net, we would like to make it very clear that we don’t like the changes being made on this site and want our categories to stay up because they are creative pieces that we have spent many hours writing.
Nearly 20,000 authors will be affected by this decision, most of which don’t know where else to turn in order to display their fan fiction.
Many of these affected authors thought of FanFiction.Net as their sanctuary, a place where they could post their fiction and have other people read, review, and criticize it. Many thought that this site was created with the fan fiction writers in mind. Apparently, they were wrong when all these new policies and changes were made to ban fiction based on real people.
If all of these policies are put into place, then this site shouldn’t be called FanFiction.Net. It should be changed to SomeFanFiction.Net since fan fiction authors are being banned from writing their stories.
We, the fan fiction authors of the six categories listed above, think that it is unfair for FanFiction.Net to be taking away our only place to post our work. We are ready and willing to fight for our right to be authors and post it on this website.
Sincerely, The FanFiction.Net Authors: DKM (Diana Milevska) J. Netterz (Jeanette Rogas)
And Every Other Affected Author
