The Post

To: FanFiction.net Founder - Xing

It seems that fanfiction.net is living with a falsehood. Many writers once flocked to the site for one promal urge - writing fan fiction. It seems that now our privileges have been taken away. Now, fanfiction.net is using false pretenses. No longer is one allowed to post fan fiction. Fan fiction is a result of using creative talents on real personnas. The fictions are merely dreams of reality. No one is being hurt in any fiction, because it's purely fictional. A dream. A miriad of dreams, to be specific. Fan fictions are turning dreams into physical manifestations. Each writer enjoys others devulging in their talents. Nothing that anyone writes is true. It is only in the truth of our hearts. These are writings of what we dream. How can anyone lable a person's writing as wrong? Did those who wrote books on Jeffrey Dahmer, (insert other famous people here) have their dreams smashed? No, their fictions were thrown out to the public. They used real events, and real people to present their stories. Those in fanfiction.net use real people weaved with falsified pretenses. We are not hurting anyone. It is you who are hurting us, the writers. So, do you really want to explode our mirad of dreams? Or let us have the rights to our fictions that we deserve?
