Among fans, this was rather aptly named " The Purge." This included responding to reports of plagiarism, copyrighted material, non-stories, MA material incorrectly rated as M and resulted in the removal and suspension of thousands of stories/accounts which were allegedly in violation of the rules. On June 2012, the admins ramped up their enforcement of Terms of Service/guidelines. As enforcement was weak at best, ignorance and/or deliberate disregard of the Terms of Service/Guidelines became almost an unspoken norm. For a number of years, writers insistent on posting MA and NC-17 material on FF.net despite the ban put their Lemon and Lime there instead. There is still an M rating category, the tag of which still needs to be manually selected to view adult fics. ![]() LiveJournal became a haven where those against the vulgarity-ban fled, although alternate sites were also formed specifically for adult fanfics. Since 2002, it has banned MA and NC-17-rated material and opened up the site to minors (13 year olds). It has also banned Real-Person Fic due to the potential for libel suits, forcing the RPF communities elsewhere, such as to LiveJournal. This was mostly due to quality concerns over people being extremely lazy in their writing from the format. Pretty much the ultimate expression of Sturgeon's Law, the site has gotten an exaggerated but not entirely unfounded reputation for representing a lot of the worst excesses of fanfiction.įF.Net has had such a strong influence on the fan community that it was almost solely responsible for making the Script Fic obsolete - it banned almost all fics written in this form. ![]() Its secret to success is its limited moderation and fully-automated system, meaning posting is very quick and easy and can be done by anyone. Launched on Octoby webmaster Xing Li, it soon snowballed into something incredible. Most members have a love-hate relationship with it - while there are some authors who post there who are exceptionally talented, there are many more authors who post there who. As of November 2017, the number of FF.Net user accounts created exceeded 10 million.įF.Net is free and moderately user-friendly. FanFiction.Net (or FF.Net or FFN for short) is the biggest archive for Fanfic on the Internet, offering millions of stories, with a total length somewhere in the range of fifteen to twenty-five billion words.
