FanLib Fandom Fakery

Sep 10, 2007 19:20

Fandoms at FanLib are listed in order of "popularity," meaning fandoms represented by the most fanfiction appear first.

Browsing the fandoms this morning, I noticed something very interesting has happened.

As recently as July, only the first and second pages of fandoms (between 75 and 150 fandoms) had stories. There were about two thousand ( Read more... )

That is so low. Just when you think they can't sink any further... They need to just give up. Also, the other day and just now, I went over there to delete my account, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. It seems like you can't delete them, just abandon them. O.o

You know what is weird? I am sure I deleted my account, but it's there! WTF?

Oh that's interesting. Didn't they clarify their TOS about that?

I will try removing it today.

*groans* There is no way for you to remove your membership yourself.

Members may cancel their Account by emailing a cancellation request to support@fanlib.com. Cancellation requests must originate from the email address on your Account as of the time of the request.

I bet that could be challenged, especially if the account has any fics attached to it. As in, "Remove my copyrighted content from your servers NOW; nowhere in your TOS does it indicate that I give you control of my material if my email address changes."

Really? How did you delete it? I haven't even seen the button or whatever. Maybe I was looking too hard and it was staring me right in the face...?

I remember deleting it in July, but it's still there. There is no way to delete accounts now; you have to request it. From the TOS: Members may cancel their Account by emailing a cancellation request to support@fanlib.com. Cancellation requests must originate from the email address on your Account as of the time of the request.

I recommend putting "membership cancellation" in the subject line.

Thanks! And that's pretty tooly of them to make it so complicated.
