The following was posted as a response in the very first post of this community, but I thought it deserved it's own post so more people could see it:

I don't have a live journal...but this seemed like a good place to ask this. I post at Mugglenet under MRSTJ1 ( Read more... )

Um, I just saw a D/G fic at Checkmated. Could the fics have been rejected for being bad or cause CM has been really short staffed lately? Granted, almost every R/Hr fic at the site is H/G, but that's different. And Closer Than Brothers had H/Hr and H/OC.

I can't even think of any other sites that have an R/Hr only policy that aren't already OBHWF.

I'm going to try to be as nice as I can in my response.

Why are R/Hr sites pushing OBHWF when they did not before?

Well, the two major Ron/Hermione sites I know of pushed OBWHF before HBP, but the push has become much harder since Harry and Ginny hooked up in HBP. From what I remember, the people who run the two sites have always considered themselves to "ship canon". That leaves people like us out in the cold.

For example, I know several people who have submitted stories to Checkmated recently, that are R/Hr and Harry/Other, but since HbP they have been rejected for stupid reasons.What kind of reasons are being given for stories being rejected? I know that at least a couple of years ago, there was only a generic rejection e-mail with a list of grammar sites for the author to go to, regardless of why the story was actually rejected. The reason given was that the Witches' Council/Prefects/whoever it is "don't have time" to specify why a story was rejected ( ... )
