I won one too. A drabble one. But I'm giving ff.net a wide berth at the moment. Stupid site.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Oh, well done!
why are you upset with FF.net. Did something happen?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I posted my sammybigbang on there and the stupid site took it down. All I got was an email from a bot saying it infringed one of a list of their pathetic rules without telling you which one (and NONE of the list applies) - and worse, there's no recourse, nowhere to contest it. I fecking HATE that site. It sucks big fat hairy balls.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

How stupid!
They could have at least told you why it 'allegedly' infringed their rules. That bloody stupid Critics United aren't active again are they?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

No idea. Might be them, might be bots but it certainly didn't fall into any of the categories in the email:
Entries not allowed:
Non-stories: lists, bloopers, polls, previews, challenges, author notes, and etc.
One or two liners.
MST: comments inserted in between the flow of a copied story.
Stories with non-historical and non-fictional characters: actors, musicians, and etc.
Any form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and etc.
Chat/script format and keyboard dialogue based entries.

Yup not a single one of those fits.

That's just total pants. :(

Who knows how the logic of Fanfiction.net bots works?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

well, until this happened I never even knew they had any.

Yay!!!

:D

[vexed_wench]

Congrats!

Is it posted anywhere else?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I've posted an alternative link to it on my A03 site :)

[vexed_wench]

That is great! I still hate FFN.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people do!

[vexed_wench]

It didn't get the nickname the pit for nothing. ;)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It's the only place I've ever been trolled!

[vexed_wench]

Oh no! The most unhelpful site if you want to close your account. You can delete your fics and change your username but when I finally had enough I was told there was no way to close my account.
