Hi, Danielle... I am not a staff member but I hope I can help you with this. If not, someone from staff will delete this and answer you properly For question number one. Yes, Original fiction is very welcome in the archive, there is a whole archive just for that. Just make sure that you put your story in the appropriate section. (i.e. slash in slash, fantasy in fantasy, het in het, etc.) But to answer question number two. The only restriction to stories is, that the site does not allow real person fiction, about people who are under the age of 18. So fictional characters under 18 are fine, just remember to tag the story appropriately. Nothing is really taboo, save for that one bit. No real person fiction about people under 18 years old. And to your final question... no... chapters can be long. Very long. Far more than 2500 words. I think the longest one I've ever posted was close to about 7000 words. The 600 limit is for Author's notes. And I think it's supposed to be 600 characters. Maybe it's 600 words, I can't remember at the moment. But the 600 words (characters) limit, applies only to Author's notes, which, just to be clear, are the little tidbits of information some authors like to give their readers at the start, or end of a chapter. But the chapters themselves can be quite long indeed. I don't even think there is a real limit on the length of a chapter. So, welcome to the archive and the forum, and hope you have a lot of fun. (and sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes. was just trying to help out. )

According to them, the violence, sexual content, etc. is against their ToS, so there is not destruction going on. They are just finally enforcing their rules, and if the writers have not been able to follow those rules, then the shame is on them, not FF.net. And if the writers aren't prudent enough to keep copies of their stories on their computers, or external hard drives, then that's their mistake. I fail to see how enforcing rules that have been in place from the start is taking away the freedom of speech. It is your fault if you can't follow the rules, and not having read them is not a valid excuse. But good luck with the petition.

Chibi, in regards to your "bottom" character... as far as I can remember, homosexual relationships weren't unheard of amongst the vikings, (I mean, they could be stuck on a boat for months at a time, with no women ) but they weren't something that was done out in the open, and it wasn't really talked about. But it was considered less "manly" to be the bottom, and men could get teased about it. It was considered a great insult to be called a bottom (or the receiver). It had nothing to do with how manly you looked or acted, it was just the fact that you let another man mount you. Vikings killed each other for far less up here. So, it would not be wholly unrealistic for the bottom to turn the tables on his top and try to top, or as you said, act overly aggressive for no apparent reason, to try and compensate. Just wanted to share that with you, and hope I can help a bit in the future.
