There is one tradition at Dalton for which Kurt is entirely unprepared.
It’s A Dalton Tradition by melblue.
stahp it, you. i have like one rp account. ONE on tumblr. well at least you have a variety of characters. i always end up playing thad :b
i dunno about them probably wanting the porn, though…because of the fact that theyve tried to purge it all before. and what was the reasoning back then, besides the fact that maybe porn wasnt quite as acceptable as it is now. which i think is false.
its obviously that its been taken over by leviathans. obviously.
WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY RP ACCOUNTS AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DASHES IN YOUR NAME
except ffnet has specific fandoms/authors/publishers that are strictly forbidden so you could say that they follow copyright law, at least as far as fanfiction can get into copyright territory.
but of course it will survive, its just stupid that theyre trying to start this up again. who knows, it could be because of the new internet laws, but in that case i think they’d (they being the people passing bills) try to purge ALL fanfiction, and not just the stuff that doesnt comply with one site’s standards. idk.
dude idk. this type of thing is exactly why i save all my fics on a flash drive and post them to more than one place. i mean yes its bullshit and yes it may be in their right but ffnet is probably one of the best-known fanfiction sites and by doing this they’re just alienating most of the authors. as if fanfiction isnt a foreign enough concept to non-internet people, now were being shut down by the very thing that was supposed to ~nurture~ us or something idk
im actually not sure what theyre deleting, just that theyre not giving people warnings.
as i’ve heard so far, and dont quote me on this because im probably wrong, theyre deleting smut, so i assume that would be anything, be it PWPs or actual plotty, smutty fics. they’re also deleting anything that was improperly labelled (a K+ fic rated as K, etc) or that didn’t comply with the ‘titles and summaries must be K-appropriate’ rule, and they’re deactivating accounts. and they took down My Immortal.
this is all just stuff ive heard. i cant personally speak for this because so far all of my stuff is safe.
yeah um the ffnet war years ago obviously didnt amount to much because people still post those fics, obviously, xD but idk i checked the rules and guidelines and it said and i quote “Please note FanFiction.Net does not accept explicit content, Fiction Rating: MA, and the rating is only presented for reference. ” which…has never been there before?
but now theyre deleting stories and freezing accounts, etc. so i guess you could say theyre cracking down…again…
unless they scrapped the rule and are trying to start it up again.
publishing your question cuz reasons
kurthummelbrightman reblogged your post: so um. i guess its about time to move to lj…
Im confused. Whats going on?
ffnet is trying to remove anything above the M rating. again.
so um.
i guess its about time to move to lj then?
or should i wait until they delete my stuff?
No. Go to A03. Ask rebelatnight for a code. I think they still have some.
but i dont wanna. its still in beta and kind of difficult to navigate ):
can we have the one where molly and martha are dating and making out in the autopsy room and molly is so fucking glad that martha doesn’t find this weird at all (I mean it’s not like she’s actually performing an autopsy, so it’s not that bad right)
can we have the one where donna and pam go around sassing everyone and hitting on everyone left and right and cackling gleefully as they knock back shots together before linking arms and stumbling out of the bar, with donna singing “god save the queen” and pam singing “my country ‘tis of thee”; both of them are off-key in the most beautiful way
CAN WE HAVE THE ONE WHERE JO AND ELLEN HUNT THE H.O.U.N.D.
can we have the one where gordon saves the doctor from the vampires of venice (only they’re not actually vampires—would knowing that they’re actually a sentient alien race affect gordon’s perception of them? would he go with the doctor in basically committing genocide against these people? would he protest? would simply the fact that saturnyns were threatening humans be enough of a justification for gordon? HMM)
CAN WE HAVE THE ONE
WHERE IT’S NOT VICTOR HENRIKSEN’S DIVISION
The thing is, Sarah Jane Smith would go way back with Ellen. She’d write her every other week in code and they’d trade off stories and interesting cases and notes.
Sally Donovan comes from a long line of hunters and never tells anyone right up until the point where Sherlock Holmes is neck-deep in demons and then bam, she pulls out the shotgun and saves the day.
Molly Hooper met Donna Noble once, when she was sent to cover someone who was on sick leave. The two hit it off really well, and eventually confided in one another over their awful dating choices. She also met Rita, and after seeing her brought down low by one particularly awful patient, went out and bought chocolates and left them in Rita’s locker.
And since we’re crossing the universes, we get Torchwood too! Tosh visited Anna when she was first committed, but ruled out alien intervention.
Basically, Tosh and Sally Donovan and Rita fight crime and aliens and the things that go bump in the night - sometimes all at once.
OH MY GOSH I DO NOT DESERVE THIS AWESOMENESS OF A REPLY
I WANT SUZIE AND RITA TO TALK ABOUT THEIR DADDY PROBLEMS q9;84gduntsaosrt
Kevin Tran just wanted to go to Princeton—just wanted to follow his dreams, to go to class and learn things and work towards a polisci degree—but then he got caught up in all this—this business, and he’s so lost and confused, and who can he even talk to about any of this?
ENTER TOSH
and see the thing is—that’s all Tosh ever wanted too, to go to Cambridge, or MIT, to work in a big research lab and research the solution to some obscure physics problem—but then all this Torchwood business happened—and honestly?
She likes it better this way.
Because being buried neck-deep in academics makes you forget why you ever fell in love with your field in the first place. Because drowning in jargon makes you forget the simpler words that pulled you in in the first place: Wonder. Awe. Curiosity. What if—? And being in Torchwood, dangerous as it is, difficult as it is, reminds her: there’s life out there. Aliens. We are not alone. There are entire networks of people, all sorts of families and relationships, civilizations so unlike our own—and that’s pretty amazing, innit?
Kevin falls quiet.
Who says that experience in politics has to be negotiating between Democrats and Republicans? Who says the only way to ensure liberty and justice for all is to make sure big businesses don’t screw over the people? Who says negotiating with Leviathans, working for peace between aliens and humans, granting so-called “monsters” the rights that they deserve just like anyone else—
—who says that can’t go on his résumé?
Kevin smiles.
“Thanks.”
