Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Yes, it pisses me off too and I did make a comment on Jenny O's journal to that effect.
Yes, but the site in question is located in the USA, and any legal threats it may or may not have received would have involved US law.
(Edit: I don't know what all the pressures were that lead to the decision, but I imagine there must have been at least something that smacked of potential legal action.)
If the owner is a US citizen and the site is being run out of the US, then it makes sense to be that US law would apply. The internet is not its own country, so each site would obey the laws of the country it's from. Otherwise, nothing could really be sent because everything is illegal somewhere.
Though now I'm thinking that it'd be worthwhile to find out about running a site from some area not specifically under control, like a bit of Antartica or International waters.

This had me, again, thinking about the Buffistas buying a small island country. Sigh.
Our own island, and for us, instead of 17 or 18 or 21 as the age of freedom, we could go by maturity or intelligence or ability to construct sentences. (I mean, I wouldn't mind all those spams about the gang-banging of Shakira if they were spelled correctly and used the subjunctive tense in the right place.)
Nascent (and her evil twin Dark Nascent)
Awww. Connie's making me all nostalgic and shit. I haven't read Nascent's stories for ages, but gah, they rocked so hard.
Because I'm feeling random, here's a drive-by rec for the Barnyard series (link in the bottom of the page), which is so evil that it just makes me chortle with joy. You don't even have to know much about X-Files to enjoy it for what it is, an absurdist meditation on the nature of Eeevil.
I want Nascent to write for Buffy. But then, I want a lot of my favorite X-Files writers to write for Buffy.
I just wanted to say that I'm actively encouraging someone to write Harvey songfic, since I wrote Harvey mpreg.
I like being bad and wrong.
Also, I think everyone should read the X-Files story My Little Demons by a frightened little girl. It's sublimely hysterical.
Well, a lot of people like ff.net for finding NC17's outside their normal fandoms,
That's true! Wherever shall we find our My Little Pony apocalyptic smutfic now?!
Or was it Care Bears? Or a crossover! Is it bestiality if it's two different kinds of animals?
My Little Demon is the only X Files story I've read, I only know the basic plotlines of later XFiles seasons, but I thought the story was hysterical.
Thanks for the link, Shrift! That was absolutely wonderful.
