I saw all the talk there, but nobody I know's stories have been pulled..not denying it; just haven't seen it happen to anybody I know

This article caused mass hysteria on the Dokuga forum. People were begging for AO3 invitations. Daniyelle-sama who is the admin at adultfanfiction did not not any significant pickup in entries because of this apparent action by ffnet. When I checked yesterday the IY numbers were back up to 103,000 and people were indicating that they had been allowed to repost once they made the necessary corrections.

Interesting. Anything we "know of" get deleted, or was it all really, really bad stuff?

Nobody I know has been deleted. ffnet may be using a bot since many of the corrections demanded were in summaries
