I took down two MustardVerse fics because they violated the new "no song lyrics" rule at FFN, and I had the idea last night of creating a new journal account for those particular fics--because, right now, as far as I know, neither of them is posted anywhere. At least this way, all four of them will be in one place and easily accessible. "Reward"

Looks like it's themustardverse all the way.

[agilebrit]

Yes, it does. I think there might be a Yahoo group that's called "Spike's Salvation" or summat like that, so, in the interest of NOT creating confuzzlement amongst the masses, themustardverse it is.

I'm wondering if I should take down all my fanfics from ff.net and move them to livejournal. Would that be feasable?

[agilebrit]

Don't see why not. Of course, you do that, and it exponentially increases the amount of badfic on the site by removing some that's quite excellent--so you have to balance your pique at Xing with that inconvenient fact...

The only reason I'm not just reposting the Mustardverse fics I took down at FFN with the offending lyrics removed is because I'm too lazy to do the editing job. "Reward" needs a massive rewrite anyway. Argh...

[alliterator]

Yeah. Funny thing is, that Xing and the others don't even check fic if it isn't reported - like in "Grains of the Golden Sand," I have song lyrics in one chapter, yet it hasn't been taken down (and I haven't been warned). Of course, I wouldn't remove the lyrics anyway, since they are part of the chapter.

I think I'll leave my fics up - until one of them is removed. If that happens, I'll remove all of them, write an angry letter to FF.net, and then create a fake account to post rule-breaking badfic. Okay, maybe not the last one.
