oh noes!

ff'net has upped their policy to ban Songfic from their illustrious site.

Dude. This means such gems as the Velvet Revolver bad!fic will have to be removed. *sad*

sigh.

It also means I have to try and remember which fics are actually songfics.

damnit.

They did what?! What ever will we do without the ff.net songfics, my dear? This is a time of mourning!

*breaks out the champagne*

One of these days ff.net will realize that no matter what they do, the overall quality of their content will not improve with banning stuff. It's the bane of an all-inclusive (well, not *all* inclusive, there's no pr0n AND no songfic now) archive to have 90% crap.

In addition, FanFiction.Net would like to address a growing problem. For whatever reason, some writers feel it's okay to copy-n-paste musical lyrics they have not written into their fiction. If you did not write it, do not post it. This has always been our policy. Please remove these entries immediately to avoid account closure.

heh. Mmm. Booze.

You know, it almost smells like a copyright issue - which is slightly hilarious coming from a fanfiction archive. Hysterically hilarious, really.

*hands out drinks*

Well, the RIAA have been complete and utter shitheads about lyrics before (anyone remember lyrics.ch??), so that wouldn't surprise me.

Sigh. At least fanfiction as a whole isn't being threatened.

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye...

*picks up guitar and begins to wail*

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad time
Live thru' some sad times
But this time the hurtin won't heal
You pick the fine time to leave me, Lucille...

MWahah...

Haven't I read something involving Wolverine with those lyrics in it??

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

Not sure... It's an old country song. I think Kenny Rodgers sang a version of it, but it has a real ambience when wailed off-key by a drunk...

[paigedayspring.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know THAT song...(its' great fun to sing loudly off key when being a pig hearder, too) it just really reminds me of Wolverine for some reason.

*sad*

Life without songfic is a life NOT WORTH LIVING.

I know! *wails*

.......Reports say that sales for Evanescence records have dropped sharply since the edict from a website called "Fanfiction.net" (www.fanfiction.net)...

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

OMG.

And dude... isn't most of the stuff on ff.net songfic in some way? And what poor monkeys do they have employed to surf all the archives of terrible fic to find it all? ... I hope they give mental health benefits.

(That said, I too shall have to check if I have lyrics kicking around any fanfic...)

*dead*

[sideofzen.livejournal.com]

Well there goes a fourth of their fic. =P

[qwirky.livejournal.com]

*celebrates*

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

Only a fourth?

[livilla.livejournal.com]

Not only did they ruin our fun but I had to remove 4 from an old account! Although, that probably was for the best... *shudder*
