Fanfiction.net 

An enormous site - stigmatized by poor administration and bad decision-making on the part of rules - housing a broad (but not broad enough) range of fanfiction, ranging from the wonderful to the mediocre to the awful.


Considerably less impressive now due to restrictive rules placed on the types of entries allowed in recent years.


Motto: "Unleash your imagination and free your soul." No longer applicable.

I kinda used to love Fanfiction.net, but ever since the owners started to discriminate against certain kinds of stories and ban them, I've kinda thought maybe they should just call it Fanfiction.nazi

Fanfiction.net 

A formerly brillant site which has now spiralled into a sad pile of crappy Mary-Sues, pointless, restrictive rules, and endless server problems. Nevertheless, it still seems to have a monopoly on about 99% of fanfic writers on the Internet, though you have to trawl through a heap of Sueage to get to anything decent.

Fanfiction.net annoyingly bans, among other things: stories in script-form, stories in second-person (or "you-fics"), fics involving real people, and anything they deem "interactive", up to and including responding to readers' questions. As a member of the PPC once declared of scriptform: "If it was good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for fanfiction."

It also doesn't support many punctuation marks, such as *, <, >, , , and /, despite several of these being vital to certain fandoms, for example as the <> "thought-speech" speech marks in the Animorphs fandom. It also removes any links or email addresses in stories.

The site furthers its bad reputation by randomly banning a lot of really good stories for absolutely no reason. Its reporting system also doesn't seem to be regulated, as it can and has happened that one person has reported another's story because of a grudge rather than the story having anything wrong with it, resulting in the story's unfair deletion.

Fanfiction.net is popularly known as "the Pit of Voles", or just the Pit. Have you ever heard the saying that a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare? Well, if that's true, then common wisdom is that whatever's writing the stories on ff.net can't be monkeys.

"No! But it's at a really good bit!"
