My story has been deleted...

HarryPotterfanfiction.com has deleted Exquisite Irony. It's a sad, sad day. I think it may have been removed because of the three, 3!! smut scenes (which, I might add, were edited down to fit the rating and had been mod-approved because I talked it over with the mods ad nauseum so I wouldn't be violating any posting rules). So I redirected all my ( Read more... )

*huggles* I had my stuff yanked off FFnet for a very mild smut scene (you've read my smut - it's barely R). I've never bothered with HPfanfiction. But I feel your pain *pats*

Thanks. Thank god for FIA hey? LOVE FIA *huggles archive* What gets me the most is that it's been sitting there for years just fine, then all of a sudden 'poof' its gone and my fangirls are all squeeing at me asking if I've deleted it. AND I went to the effort to edit down the smut scenes . AND I bet they've removed me from the submission review bypass list - I've been able to post stuff and have it validated automatically straight away - something I earned by sticking to the rules and consulting the mods on my Smut scenes! *le sigh*

Ah well. It's their loss at the end of the day. If they're not careful their archive will be filled with the sort of shit that Vexy plagarises because they'll have alienated all their other writers.

I'm sure that they could tell the difference between that girl's crapfic and your beautifully crafted fic. But what a waist! You even talkedto the mods and everything. *shakes head* Poor dear.

God I hope so. I've opened a help ticket so we'll see - usually if they yank your stuff they're supposed to send you an e-mail telling you whats happened and why, but I've not had anything which is REALLY discourteous and has properly pissed me off.

Do these people even know how much time and effort gets put into a fic like yours? I mean, it is a high quality story and each chapter alone takes so much energy. And then they just rip it down without even telling you why and giving you a chance to fix what they think is wrong with it. *is so disgusted*

Yes, its the not giving me a chance to correct it that has upset me the most I think. Posting story chapters takes a lot of time and effort so it's a real pain in the arse for them to take the entire story down. I mean they could have just taken down the three offending chapters and asked me to edit and resubmit and I would have. But instead they delete the whole thing and tell me that , and I quote:

"Your story was not at all in compliance with the R-rating, or many other rules on the site.

Your story was cited for:
Linking
NC-17 material"

You can read it at the Fire and Ice Archive. I got a slap on the wrist for linking to NC 17 material, so I couldn't put a direct link in my Bio on HPFF but if you look HERE, you'll find all my work in all it's original smutty glory. Thank god for the wonderousness that is FIA.

Ha ha ha. No idea. I've got things to be doing at the moment. And that little 'Existential Custard' bunny is still hopping around on the outskirts of my creative thought...

Would it help if a bunch of us went a wrote to the mods. YOur story is awesome and your smut scenes where tasteful and so didn't go over the limit. I can find about 10 to 20 stories that were much more graphic and not even that good.

I don't know. It may help. It may not. You could complain that it's been removed but I doubt it would do any good. Apparently I violated the rules. Discussion, end of. If you can find stories that were worse, the only thing you'll achieve is for those authors to have their stories removed and that really isn't in the spirit of the fanfic community. I imagine that mine was removed because some anal arsefuck complained about it.

But I appreciate the sentiments. The reply I got back from the mods was... terse... to say the least...
