a rainy monday.

In response to fanfiction.net

In response to fanfiction.net removing thousands of stories without warning, I will no longer post my stories on that website.

Yes, rules must be followed, including fanfiction.net TOS. The issue is not with their TOS nor with their right to remove stories in violation; it is with the way they have chosen to enforce them – swiftly and suddenly without a single warning.

Several of my stories fall into the categories that are being removed. Rather than wait until it’s too late, I have begun the process of saving my reviews and migrating my stories. If you have author or story alerted me on fanfiction.net, you probably did so because you wanted to read more of what I write. I urge you to take the opportunity now to find some other method of following my writing:

livejournal: a-rainy-monday.livejournal.com
tumblr: arainymonday.tumblr.com
twitter: @rainymonday
website: arainymonday.wordpress.com

If you don’t want to follow me on any of those sites or read fanfiction posted there, but you want to read my stories in the future, you can bookmark my website and check back periodically for the PDFs I upload after I’ve finished posting a story. But I hope you do take a leap on another site.

I know I’ll lose some of you by leaving fanfiction.net, and I regret that. I’ve been on that site for eight years and made a lot of friends there, but I feel strongly about this decision. I hope to see some of you in the future in other locations.

Sincerely,
Heather / arainymonday

Just finished reading Once In a Lullaby ( twas amazing! :D left a review on ffnet already saying so haha) and am now looking forward to enjoying and flicking through this tumblr... once it's not past midnight on a tuesday, though :P

Ah, thank you! Your review on FF was very sweet and kind, and an extra message here is very lovely of you to send.

I’ll warn you that my tumblr is pretty boring. It’s me rambling or reblogging quotes mostly. Maybe if you’re into quotes it will be worth it. Otherwise, I dunno … :D

Anyone here familiar with the TV show Roswell? I’m writing an AU based on that show with Blaine as Max and Kurt as Liz (and Santana as Michael and Tina as Maria). Just curious if there’s anyone I can discuss the show with.

gah, as long as there are stupid, dumb, heteronormative and unacceptable (yet somehow acceptable in our society) "norms", there's always gonna be haters of whatever defies those "norms". but who cares, right? it's not their opinions that matter. it sucks that there's that kind of hate but (mostly!) not the other way around, I mean c'mon, it's two guys and neither of them are the "guy" or the "girl" and nothing will ever change that, but once again, haters... well, they're just gonna hate.

Thank you for your support. I know there are a lot of people out there who deal with anon hate for a lot more than a sex scene they wrote. It gets to me because of what they’re saying, not that they’re saying it about my story. I’m much more upset that we have to live with these gender roles someone else created for us than that a couple anons don’t like my story. Haters will always hate, you’re right. But I’m stubborn. I’ll fight them until I can’t anymore.

Also, the more anon haters I get, the more convinced I am that this story is going to be exclusive bottom!Blaine although that wasn’t the original plan. Because I’m super mature like that. ;)

Please ignore the stupid anon hate, they are probably just trolls anyway and you're amazing, Beltane is my happy place right now ^^. Off to read the chapter.

Ah, thank you. I’m happy you’re enjoying Beltane.

Yeah, I just ignore the anon haters’ opinions, especially the ones who can’t spell properly. I won’t let them win either and disable anon reviews. I just delete them and go about my day. What bothers me is the sentiment in the messages. Their critique of my writing means nothing, but I have to say something about their heteronormative message.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! And thanks for some anon love today.

Do anon haters troll the anon hate tag? Because I got, like, four more anon hate reviews in 10 minutes.

not tagging it
