There's been an e-mail circulating around the writers of fanfiction.net about the new "no responding to reviews" rule. Chances are that you already know what this is about but if you're not 100% sure, here's part of the e-mail.



Dear Writers and Readers on Fanfiction.net:
I'm writing to inform you about a new rule the
Webmaster of ff.net has imposed: they've forbidden us to answer the reviews.

Yep, you're reading correctly. At first, it was believed that this was
just a rumor, but some days ago a writer friend was punished because she
answered her reviews in the chapters of the fic. Many people think this is
very unfair because that's the only way we have to communicate with our
readers. It's the only way they can know we read their reviews; we read new
opinions and make friends.

We don't like this new rule, and we're writing to ask your help. It's very
easy. We're making a list of people who are against this new prohibition.



As you may have guessed, I'm an author who enjoys responding to reviews. I think this new rule is unfair and I like to see it done away with.

This is the first petition I've made but I'd like those who sign it to sign their ff.net pennames and corresponding e-mail addresses in the post (I’ll collect all the e-mails when we get 200 and send it to the webmaster at ff.net, you’ll have to write your e-mail address in the comment box for this to work). This means that you must be an author at ff.net to sign the petition.

We should be allowed to use our free speech by responding to friends that like what we write. It's all for fun and it's harmless. Thanks for listening! :)

I don't like it either. I liked explaining where I got my ideas and stuff when people asked. Sometimes it's really annoying to have to respond to everything, but the pros outway the cons.
