Things can change, yes, but in something as historied as this, it probably won't.
It happens, and you need to realize this. Just because you worship these authors and their writing does not mean that everyone will.

Actually, I have read something of yours before. I'm reading Orange Crush at this moment. I've never came across any of your writing before until now to be honest. I've browsed through many different stories to tell the truth too.
It doesn't matter if it changes around the whole entire world. One place can make a different. If everyone would be WILLING to give everyone a chance here then this could be a better place for authors to see how great they really are.
Worship? It's more like admire. I'm just saying that I'd love to be given the chance to show my opinion on how great some authors really are. That's all, nothing more.

I'm just wondering...do you consider all authors? I mean, if people aren't happy with the way things are then have the admins considered changing it? I really don't believe it's fair that not one NC-17 story has been featured though or a writer that DEFINITELY has some of the most amazing writing skills. I may have not read every single story by every single author on here, but I've read a good bit, and I can say there that has been stories left out where the author has the talent and passion put behind the story.
It's wrong that their not featured and the pre-picked thing is just iffy to me...do you girls or guys consider a new story that is posted and is even more outstanding than the one you had prepicked?

But what about the ones who do not join the boards? Do you consider them too..? There's a good bit of authors and I just..it's awful.

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.

I actually would appreciate a place where it'd be acceptable to highlight an NC-17 story and discuss it. I think that a lot of the romance/drama NC-17 stories have a deeper level to them considering there's the relationship that includes the emotional/mental side along with the physical/sexual side and it'd be something interesting to discuss.

I agree it should be up to parents to police what their kids are doing but sadly, it's just not the case. I still can't believe how many of my junior high kids have Myspace pages!!

I started reading fan fiction at the tender age of 12 and my first fic I read was a visual. And my mom knew about it too and was like oh well... not saying that EVERY parent should do that but kids are going to find a way around it, and it's up to the parents and for us to take matters into our own hands violates censorship laws and our first amendment rights to say whatever the heck we choose to. To censor a story just because it has mature content is just as wrong as saying that all g-rated stories aren't good because they're too kid-ish. It works both ways. I mean i'd rather have my neices read an NC-17 story than watch and NC-17 movie or go to an X-rated website. So if they choose NC-17 over that then you know what maybe they're a little more intelligent that we and their parents are giving them credit for because at least they're reading.
