I'd just like to say that the ban on NC-17 fanfic is ghastly. It goes against all of the ideals that made this website what it is today. *Free your soul* indeed. The ban is to shield younger viewers from inappropriate material, but I believe that it will have the opposite effect. Writers will start labeling their work with "R" ratings instead of NC-17 in order to be able to post on ff.net, and this will be exposing viewers to NC-17 level material when they only wished to read an "R" story. I say, let people take responsibility for their own reading habits. That is all.
