Well, I see this is a pretty old thread, but I think FFNET is doin' it again - either that or (hopefully) what I had happen was an isolated incident. I had been lurking on FFNET (no login) for almost a year, collecting URL's of lemony fanfics (because I love them, because I am a dirty, dirty perv). Finally last month I wrote a smut fanfic of my own, and decided since apparently half the world is doing it as well, I'd go ahead and post it. It's doing fine and hasn't been touched by mods yet, but a second one I put up was almost immediately added to a 'community' which lists stories that break the ToS and are going to be reported. I immediately yanked it and am planning to post it here as soon as I get a better feel for the site.
I've browsed AFFNET a bit and read a few stories, and I plan to read (and review of course) many more. Any other smut that I write, I will probably post directly on here. It just makes me sad that (1) there are so many good lemons on FFNET that will be lost, whose authors may not bother to find another place to put them, (2) opportunities for feedback, networking, etc. are lost to me and other smut-creators simply because of the giant stigma on sex-related stuff, which is not FFNET's fault any more than it is mine, but which obviously is not going to go away, and (3) I really do like the format for the FFNET site better than this one (sorry) - I think I will enjoy having a more open and safe place to post my fics, though.
I am taking the passive-aggressive route with my other story on FFNET right now as I see so many other stories posted which have the same level of smuttiness and haven't been taken down. It bugs me the idea that only the conscientious people should have to follow the written rules, so I am following the unwritten ones instead: a very clear warning of what the story is, and rely on viewer discretion. I am going to wait and see if anyone complains in any form, and remove it at that point if ever.
I do want to know one thing: if I post the same story here as on FFNET will I potentially get in trouble for 'plagiarizing' myself? (If I post, I would also mention the story is available on another site, within an A/N in the story and in my profile, on both sites, so as to avoid confusion). It would appear from the posts in this thread that the answer is 'no problem!' as a lot of people seem to have their stories on both sites. Given the differences between the written / unwritten rules as mentioned above, however, I thought I'd throw that out there.
