NC-17 Stories Have Plots!
Teri:
As far as children being exposed to more adult content it's not up to US to police that. It's their parent's job and if they want to blame a site where their child goes instead of putting up a parental block or *gasp* actually being a parent then they shouldn't be surprised that they're child is curious about these sorts of things

Have you given my writing a chance? If not, please do not defend them and put me down because I'm being "negative."
I want a fair chance.
Everyone wants a fair chance.
But facts are facts.

And I disappreciate you for being narrowminded. Do people not understand that things CAN CHANGE?! If everyone is willing to cooperate then everyone can get a fair chance. You just have to be able to convince people in this fact!

No offense I really see your point but why are you letting parents tell you what should be on your site? That's simply ridiculous. It's yours and our first amendment rights to post whatever we want, if they don't like it, put a parental block on the site. Catering to the whims of people who don't even know what the site is about is simply irresponsible to the authors that post here which without us you wouldn't have a site to begin with.

I wouldn't take offense if you wouldn't tell me that my reason is ridiculous. So thanks for not being offensive in the future.
I made the decision MYSELF to make the site appropriate for all ages and to make the story discussion available to all users of the site. It is my right to do this, whether or not other parents tell me what to put on my site. I am a parent, too, and I understand their point. I WANT to have a site that includes all types of fics, yes, but I am not going to feature a story that is not able to be discussed by all the members of the site that want to participate.
I'm not going to argue this with you. I'm sorry you don't like my policy. I can't make everyone happy. I will think on it and see if I can come up with a reasonable alternative, but I'm sorry, the Featured Story is not going to be NC-17 at this time.
If you would like to run an alternate discussion group, let me know; maybe we can work something out.

Is it a NC-17 story that will be featured? :]

I pick the story by author and then what the author considers their favorite or what their fans consider their favorite based on polls I made when the forum was first started.
The reason I don't post a poll on the AC site about what stories to feature is because I do most of the commenting and talking in the threads. I have tried a poll type thing in the past with my old fanfic of the month club and people go in and vote and then crickets are chirping for the rest of the time. So yes, I do just pick and not leave it up to anyone else except for those polls I made which i'm sure you can find easily and have your say if you really want it. lol
I have stories prepicked all the way until July ALL different GENRES and FANDOMS! lol jeez louise.

If you look at the stories that have been featured since this forum started (mainly going back to February) I have taken great pride in picking from a VARIETY of genres and giving all authors a fair shot. In fact ironically enough, one of you are next up lol so I think it's unfair to complain about that. It takes a lot of work for me to keep that feature going but I do because everyone who has had a chance so far have all said it's helped them keep writing.
We only feature one story a month and we only started in February so be patient.

Thank you Mare for giving your opinion honestly, really I do appreciate that, it's just I'm upset at the fact that there appears to be some discrimination based on rating going on. I mean if we're gonna run scared everytime a parent gets upset then what the hell is the point of posting? Parent's need to realize that they can control what they expose their kids to. And really we're the LEAST threatening. There's sex everywhere that's much worse than anything we write, look at television, movies, hell even the news gets off on sex nowadays it's up to the parent not a web site to police the children in what they're exposed to.
