HE CAMPAIGN AGAINST "Harry Potter & Co. reads Harry Potter and the [insert title]" HAS CONCLUDED! Thanks to a massive influx of discontented readers, the campaign is over. The reports will stop for now. I bow to the wishes of the masses. My apologies go out to all of you who feel I personally attacked your work, or a story you enjoy reading. Additionally, I feel like such a jerk and a tool for this quite frankly purile and idiotic action that amounts to little more than a temper tantrum that I'm permanently resigning from Fanfiction dot net. To those of you who enjoyed "The Serpent's Mirror," I'm turning over the writing of the story to author "Dusk Ado", who's asked for permission to write it him/herself since I've been horribly neglecting it (though his last post was years ago.) Feel free to continue mauling me verbally through messages, I really deserve it. I'll still get them through e-mail to remind me of how very stupid my action was. Farewell. This was from Heart of Aiur profile page ( www.fanfiction.net/u/2556423/Heart_of_Aiur) what do guys think of this? Update: Dear Fanfiction.net Staff, Having received many angry messages from authors and readers of certain fan fictions that I have reported over the past week, I've realized what a mistake it was to even start my campaign. I'm currently writing at the behest of the aforementioned writers and readers to have their stories restored to the site. The stories that I know have been removed so far are as follows: Umbridge's Meddling Part 1 - By Lazybum89 Many readers would appreciate the restoration of these stories. I am formally withdrawing all complaints, abuse reports, and negative reviews forthwith from all the above stories. Heart of Aiur |

Plus, just because they stopped doesn't mean it won't happen again. It's always good to have backups.

I always save a copy of a fic I'm reading or search the web for a copy where it has the option of 'Whole Story' and/or if it's in text format so that even if something is taken down, I can still read it.

That's what's so great about the fanfiction community, they support each other.
Case-in-point being this forum and others like it that were made in light of 'the purge'. (Is that the right saying?)

Is there a machine or a automated program that runs the complaints/deletion of fics on FF.net? If so, then that needs to be changed, because they can't have a program in charge of the complaints/deletions, otherwise you get the Terminator movies/series.
(PS. if there is an AI out there in the World reading this, sorry for describing you/he/she/it to something akin to Skynet/Terminator.) Always find someway to apologies(?) incase there is an AI out there somewhere.))

I'm hoping that they put something on the Main Page 'News' of FF.net explaining what happened and whether it was an Admin that did it or a program.
(The post was longer, but I hit 'refresh' instead of send, and I can't remember what I typed except some variation of the above post.)

heh, I had a feeling that they would have backlash from this since a lot of people like this type of story.

I'd still advice authors to still send around links to this forum and other fanfic sites.
Plus, it's easier and faster to reply on here. Especially with Quick Reply.

my favorites in FFNET is still being flooded by Read the Book stories getting put at the top because of being updated with A/Ns about this. it's getting annoying because it isn't actual chapters.

I'm still keeping this forum open and will be updating here just in case. This is the third major scare since I started writing these fics. (Cora Elaine's deletion, Red Death's campaign and now this Heart of Aiur's campaign). A few months from now I'll bet the same thing will happen again, so it'll be great to have this backup for everyone to enjoy.

I agree too. Also, if it does happen next time, who says they won't stop until all the stories are gone.
