Hi guys! Now that I'm back...ish I've been wondering. I'm active and writing on a website called Fanfiction.net. Is anyone else writing over there? (Along with here of course. )

 

[wwfpooh]

A lot people people write there. It is too bad that 90% of fanfics over there are mediocre to crappy at best.

Oh, I'm a member on the site!
I'm just one of those terrible writers.
I'm 1930SilentFilm...I think!
I forget, LOL!

I used to be a member there, and I used to write a lot of Courage the Cowardly Dog and Bewitched stories, but one day, they banned me and deleted every single one of my story because I had written them all in script format (like I do T*K*O), and apparently that's the same a "chat format" which they don't allow, so because of that, I was banned, and all my stories that I worked very hard on were deleted.

Why didn't anyone tell me script and "chat" format were the same thing?

I have my own fanfiction.net account and I've written a few fanfics that are mostly Muppets, anime, Hanna-Barbera, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I'm really sorry your fanfics got deleted, Snowthy. I wanted to post my old Battle of the Muppet All-Stars fanfic on fanfiction.net, but when I posted my first chapter, someone e-mailed me saying that it was in script form and wouldn't accept it. So I had to take my story down.

It's kind of a double-standard if you ask me... I mean, when I was first introduced to the art of fan-fiction at Edtropolis (which I have about eight or nine stories there still for LO-O-O-O-O-NG ago), most of them WERE in script format, and that's the easiest way for me to write, hence why I always write something like it's a script. But still, they should've said something about chat format and script being the same thing, because some of the stories I had written were long, involved, had a lot of content, that had a lot of time and effort put into them (one story took me a month to finish).

And not only that, but doesn't banning someone for that seem a little harsh?

Yes, I agree. All that work to make great stories and to have them disappear like that is heartbreaking. Do you have your stories saved in your computer? Maybe you can find another fanfic site.

Nope... after I finish a story, or chapter, I'd delete it and re-write a new story/chapter in the same document to keep my computer from being cluttered with too many files, thus bogging it down (besides, I didn't think I'd need to save backups... boy was I wrong)!

I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, I learned that it's important to save. One time, Dad took the computer to the shop to get it upgraded and I lost the chapters to one of the very first fanfics I've written because I didn't know about saving and had to start all over again. I was thankful I printed my stories and kept them in a ring binder. But it was a pain to retype everything again though.

I hope things will go better for you in the future.

I always save the stories that I write on the computer, mostly for just that reason. Because I know that once the computer blows up or something happens, that it's good for it to be there. I used to put my Cheeseman stories on FanFiction. Apparently, I commented on a friend of mines story and after I commented that I did the same thing, they got ticked at me and deleted some of my stuff. Some of it's still there, but the stuff I can't replace is gone. Oh well, FictionPress is a little better than FanFiction on stuff like that.
