Yes.  My chapter six for FIG was denied at MNFF because I used the slang word "innit" (just once) in dialog between Sirius and Regulus.  The volunteer "looked it up" and said that that term was not in use until the 1980's and that it was probably not appropriate for that converstation which took place in 1971.

It's dialog.  I could have had Sirius ( Read more... )

are you serious? I didn't realise they put so much time into the stories... perhaps an anal regulator... I put my story up on harrypotterfanfiction.com on there i've read plenty of stories using new slang in the marauder era. You should check out the site anyways, it's got so much fanfic it's crazy

Oh my. How very psychotically obsessive.

You have a perfect right to whine. they told me that my second chapter was rejected because apparently, a twelve-year-old wouldn't think Sirius was "cute".

If you were twelve, would you think Sirius cute?

I would say bloody gorgeous, but then the mods really would have something to complain about.

Lol, I would have said bloody gorgeous with a cute behind to boot = p.

Why is it everytime Goddess Jo waves her magic wand and gives a site an award, the administration on said site goes right up their own backsides.

I wonder if she realizes how misguided her charity is.
