Looks like the maturity level has taken a nosedive again.

Yes, I'm talking about the whole wankfest on Mecha Erotica.  I missed it because I was taking my daughter to a doctor appointment but I heard about it later.  Read the comments when they were reactivated.  Shook head and facepalmed a lot.  Saw some of the other comments people made in their own journals too

You've had to take down a fic? You? Wow! And since you are a mature, reasonable person, it was taken down with no dramafest. Which explains why I never heard about it until now.

Most of us are in agreement on those points. Except for some petty people. I don't see how hard it is to understand. Its not like they changed the rules on the fly. That was the original purpose of the comm.

I know. And they get offended when I tell them that I've read this kind of thing before. Boring. Just because its new and wonderful for them, doesn't mean that it is for everyone that has been around since the beginning of the 25 year fandom. Makes me want to write something new too. Sex by email anyone? :D Foreplay over the world wide web? My problem is the age old one, lack of time.

LOL They did. They couldn't sway me with their unreason and pseudo logic so they stooped to personal insults and called me immature. And they blew everything out of proportion. How does, "I don't read your fics" turn into "I think your fics are crap"? Uh huh. Sorry kiddies, that doesn't work with me.

Hrm, yeah... two years back just after the Movie, I did a little Jazz/Bee Movieverse smutfic with holos and implied holo!sex on top of alt-modes (dunno if you remember it). Wasn't aware M_E didnt allow the holosmut so posted it. Was asked to take it down, did so in the next moment. No biggie really. It's still there on my Quill LJ.

Thing to remember is, when you join a comm, you're playing in the mod's playground. Even if they had created the no sticky rule like a week ago, it's still their comm. You either abide by the rules, or no one's really stopping you from leaving.

And if I wanted to read sticky, I wouldn't even bother with the TF fandom. I'd just go to some anime yaoi comm like ouran_slash. Reason I dont is cos I like the non-conventional tf-smex that lets you do things with the bots that you cant do with humans, or lets you adapt certain human things to apply to the bots.

The trick is to make it unique while still retaining some recognizability, and I like that challenge. One of the reasons sticky just doesnt do it for me, but yeah... I think I'm going off topic.

It's the drama-queen syndrome... makes them feel superior or something, I dunno...

I don't remember it. I'll have to go peek at it on the Quill again. Probably read it when it was first posted.

Another vote for abiding by the rules as they are laid out. Amazing how many of us are in agreement on this. And just on my journal too.

I don't mind the occasional sticky fic, as long as it offers something fresh. Interesting character development, a new way to justify the sticky aspect. A fun story line. Not just the "how much sex can I stuff into here" and "how can I abuse the characters today?" Not that you shouldn't torture the characters, but lets see a little growth and development.

I'm with Mommimus. More smut please? You are so good at it. Please, go off topic too. Topic has been beaten to death.

Drama queening at its less than finest. I should have sold tickets. Yes I get sarcastic when I'm tired. Well, worse anyways. ;) Tia is heading to bed.
