the authors of R - rated stories who are losing readers on Fanfiction.net. -
More Info at:
On June 6th, Fanfiction.net changed the listing pages so that they only show stories that were G->PG13. Their explanation for doing so was, and I quote, 'to make sure users do no accidentally read higher rated stories.'
Now, authors like myself who write mostly R - rated stories are losing readers because of this! Most viewers forget to change it back to G->R and. thus, don't end up reading a large portion of fanfiction, which is what we write. As I stated before, WE ARE RAPIDLY LOSING READERS. Also, to cope with the sudden loss of readers, many great authors have been forced to dumb-down their stories to get a PG13 rating.
We will not stand for this!
I suggest that Fanfiction.net puts the listing pages back to the way they were before, only this time they can put a pop-up warning on R - rated fanfics telling the person that the story they are about to read is rated R, like they do for the NC17 stories.
