Camilla Sandman,

Title: "Once More Into the Urple Depths of OFUM"

Rating: "T"

Main reason for removal: "Not allowed: interactive, chat/script, real person, mst, and etc."

the above story has been removed because it violated the guideline detailed on the upload page.

Anyone have any idea how I might get in touch with Xing and hear what this is all about? j0llipops or jocelyncs, didn't one of you manage to get your story back? Any help would be appreciated.

Sigh. Just what I needed today.

Best of luck. Xing is notoriously fuckheaded (pardon the language) about removing fics.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Good Gracious. What the heck... I hope you manage to get it back there somehow!

[anti-nation.livejournal.com]

What?! That's random... No idea how to personally contact Xing but, damn. Wonder if it was a fanbrat-revenge thing?

[ressie-noldo.livejournal.com]

Gleep! Perhaps it was somone jealous?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

"...and etc."??

In other words, every fic is eligible for banning. Any reason you can make up and call "etc."

Geez FFN sucks big hairy balls! I wish there was some other big centralised place you could go to for fanfic. (I don't count AFF because their font is far too small and they don't have a resizer. Not frie=ndly to the vision impaired like mois.)

Good luck getting them to give a shit. And I mean that both sarcastically *and* sincerely. If you know what I mean. ;)

[ginmar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Xing just removes shit without warning.

There's quite a few, actually. lotrfanfiction.com is one, and fictionised.net is another, as well as fictionalley.com.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Fictionised.net? Hmmm.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Aw, crap... all I remember is that when you did do a couple chapters of real person, you were careful *not* to put them on FFN. I'm also wondering if this is a case of some brat trying to get revenge or something.

And the writing major in me is *really* wanting to get on their case about how poorly-written that letter is.

*sends adorable kitties with chocolate over* Good luck :\

[ailanreanter.livejournal.com]

Wish you luck with getting this sorted out.
And I just love your icon! ^____^

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It seemed apt.

[shandydann]

Noooo! Thats just pants.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

I expect some fanbrat claimed it was interactive, which kt isn'nt really, so maybe you can get Xing to see the light.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping...

[timestreason.livejournal.com]

Gah! Stupid ffn. *bangs head on desk* What about Henneth-annun?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

OFUM1 is there, haven't really tried to get OFUM2 in. I suppose I could.

[puredeadthingy.livejournal.com]

...that's stupid and wrong in all kinds of ways. How can they put 'and etc.' when that could mean *anything*? Gah!

[perhatikan.livejournal.com]

'and etc.' Looks like that means anything they don't like. Could it be that somebody is really pissed off at you to get OFUM2 removed? (Or jealous because it's so popular?)

Good luck with getting OFUM2 back.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

Hope you get OFUM#2 back on. Ironically, OFUM#1 seems to be fine.

*does glare-y eyes at Xing for added effects*

[jocelyncs.livejournal.com]

xing@fanfiction.net.

I will email him as well.

Un-effing-believable!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. I e-mailed him at his fictionpress account too. Gah to infinity.

[starsong24.livejournal.com]

Let's just say that if the braindead idiot who decided to pull it was with me, they wouldn't be much longer.

If Xing says that he needs evidence, you've got it saved in a few other places to show him. I'll give backup if you need it.

...Oh, hell. All the reviews will have gone! I really hope that they're still on your email.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

I assume you have a backup? If not, I actually have it saved to a floppy. (No, I'm not a stalker. We pay for internet by the kilobyte in Moscow, so, when my sister wanted to read it, I saved it to a floppy before I left so we could read it offline.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have the story, no worries. It's up on at least one other site as well.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Some of them, so not. OFUM2's been up a long time and I've moved computers more than once.

[sliven.livejournal.com]

That sucks!
Good luck with getting it back. Fanfiction, ff.net in particular, needs it. ^_^!

[losseniaiel.livejournal.com]

That site gets more absurd with each passing day.

[starra-cat.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to boycott them. I'll miss my stargate fanfic but I have other sites that are better. I'm happy to do it for you, Cam.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You don't have to boycott them. It'll do no good, anyway. Huge site, a few fics don't make much difference.

[starra-cat.livejournal.com]

Not like I go there that much anyway.

[elenculda.livejournal.com]

Bollocks! That's ridiculous. Your story, of all things!

And yet the numerous and B@dL33 m1$$p3Lt Mary-Sue horrorific stories are continuing to spam ff.net. That place is going to the dogs. Or the fangirls. Maybe both. This is why I only go there to read already recced fics...

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

WANKERS!! (my brother is looking over my shoulder and agrees with me)

Could you put the chapters up on your own site? Or make an lj to post them on? I think somebody did that with a PPC.

FF.net sucks. I only go there for trawling nowadays.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I can post them on the OFUM community and host them myself and what-not. Still sucks, though. A gazillion reviews gone.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to get everyone to review it again, then.

[nymeria.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's weird. Mind you, I haven't trusted ff.net for a long time XD;. All my FMA fics are archived on two private other sites, but mostly on LJ - I get the same amounts of reviews, plus it's easier to control formatting/trolls. And much, much harder to get TOS'd.
