this good reads is really putting the hurt on being a fan and writing fanfics its truly sad and the site is not even for fan fics I don't understand I am sorry and hope you don't have to close your account because of this
"While we can't prevent members from re-adding a fan fiction work to the site in the future, we will be happy to remove it again if the author requests it. We will also remove any cover art at the request of the artist. We have no plans to change our fan fiction policy at this time, in part because we have many Goodreads Authors who only write fan fiction. "
I am sorry I wish I knew this good reads is just upsetting so .they need to know that people should have no right to post your work if you do not want it there our fandom should stay in fandom . I wish you knew who was posting your fics and you could talk to that person I wish I knew what to do but I am truly sorry and hope and pray you don't have to close your lj . so sorry your a good writer and you should not have to stifle your work because of this .
This is so fucking awful, I really feel for you and I do hope you won't stop writing and sharing your work with us, it would be a huge loss. I've just sent a message to Goodreads telling them what I think of them, not mentioning you by name at all, I hope you don't mind. Perhaps we should all bombard them with complaints until they change their policy. I told them this is harassment and they should be ashamed of themselves. **hugs**
It's late here (around 2 am) and I must be tired because you made me cry. Your support means a lot to me. Thank you so much. I hate feeling like I don't have any control over this. (((hugs)))
I'm sorry to make you cry! I just hate the thought of you feeling so down and considering closing your accounts. And this is an issue with implications for all us fan fic writers. I think Goodreads should stop posting fan fic completely and will be asking them to do so.
Try to get some sleep m'dear, you know all your flisties have your back x
I know f-lock is a solution, I just hate the fact that an external website I have nothing to do with is taking the choice away from me. When I first started reading fanfic, I had to learn how to navigate on LJ and it took me a while before I was confident enough to create my own page and friend people, so I think it's kind of sad that people who are in the fandom but still lurkers can't access to fic because of goodreads.
I honeslty I don't known what you could do,,, the only thing is get more and more people in this and start sending messages, so the administrators take us in a seriuos way.
I am not a writer but I have a huge respect for you guys, the writers, I have read some incredible and wonderful stories from the spn fandom, and I can't believe that after someone took down the story someone put it up in that website again!!
Ok I found it, I have never been in goodstories, but I just sing up and send them several messages to support@goodreads.com and the page where is posted..
Hmph. My listing is back up as well, and I sent a request to remove it as well. Since these are entries added by readers, I don't know that TPTB even know what has been added unless they get a complaint, although I imagine they could arrange that any entry tagged as fanfiction gets flagged for their review
( ... )
Thank you for providing me with at least some solutions. I think it is worth a try. I mean, I'm to the point where I think about sending an automated email everyday to goodreads to be sure my stories stay down, I mean, if I keep doing it, maybe they'll eventually get I don't want to be on their freaking website?

I don't want you erase your stories, but I understand why you want to.
Maybe f-lock them for now? Until you decide what you really wanna do.
