* didn't like archives <ref> "... trolling [[archives]] for fic is about the last way I want to find reading material.

* lack of a way to rate fanworks <ref> "The main problem with such mass run sites is that there is no way to determine what is good writing and what isn't. A search on the site isn't going to help me figure that out and their rating system isn't either. Rating systems have been around nearly as long as their have been archives." -- [http://midnightbex.dreamwidth.org/626140.html My two cents on Fanlib as a fanfic reader]; [http://www.webcitation.org/6VYo68Rn7 Archive], post by midnightbex, May 21, 2007 </ref>
