The loveisblindness archive and its sister community, u2slash, were started in response to Fanfiction.net's ban on adult-rated fic.

Posted on the archive's warning page:

This is an archive of fan fiction about real people. Not a bit of it is true.

None of the authors archived here own the band or claim to in any way. They do not claim that any of it is true. They do not mean them any harm by writing these works of fiction. They make no money from these stories. Also, this is an archive of slash fan fiction. This means same-sex relationships (here, they will be male), sometimes with graphic sexual content. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea or you think you can't handle it, please don't read here. Go read elsewhere.

All that said, please enjoy these stories.[3]

The site appears to have gone down in late January 2016, and the archivist could not be reached.[4]
