Re: Quality control & Locking adult content

...And good spelling and grammar a good fanfic maketh not. While it helps from a reading standpoint, there are some downright awful fics with perfect grammar too.

And on the issue of 'canon' editors, excuse my language but, what utter bullshit. That totally defies the whole reason for fanfic in the first place. While there is a slot in fandom writing for those who wish to stick to canon rigidly, most people write to expand on canon, or to trash canon entirely with their own ideas.

I totally resent the idea that this members of this archive should be the Fanfic Gestapo. The very idea of people deciding whether my fic is worthy or not makes my eyes bleed to read, more so than bad fan-fiction.
