AO3 invites available
I have five available if anyone wants them. PM me with your e-mail address.
IMHO, FanFiction.net has committed a major public relations blunder. There's no reason, except sheer laziness, for them to not have a section for MA fics, accessible only to registered members who confirm by clicking on a link that they are over eighteen and wish to read the material. Fiction encompasses a lot of subjects that are unpalatable to many, but readers should have the option of choosing what they want to read.
I heard that they originally disallowed MA fics to kowtow to advertisers who don't want their banner ad appearing over a story that's PWP or excessively smutty. If this is true, fine. There's a way to keep ads from appearing on those pages, but they refuse to do the necessary coding. Several fans have apparently contacted these advertisers directly, saying they refuse to buy a product or service advertised on a site that's run this way, and gotten responses from company reps who had no idea this was going on.
I refuse to deal with them. AO3 is my haven of choice, and despite its frequent outages, it's truly a site for the imaginative fan.
