Goal Met!
Alright, this has gone far enough! For quite a while now, FanFiction.Net has been deleting our CYOAs! Ever since April, our Choose Your Own Adventure stories have been deleted! Why? Some people consider them interactive. However, I discovered that they were "illegal" because they contained blanks and the chapters did not proceed sequentially (they didn't go in order). So then I made "untrue CYOAs", along with a few others. These "untrue CYOAs" were legal, because there weren't any blanks and the chapters were in order. They were still written in second person, however. Nevertheless, the stories were deleted. In my case, my penname was deleted. (But I'm still a member of FFN; I have more than one penname.) Anyway, I think it's best that we finally make an organized petition- one that we can keep track of. One that's accurate. Well, my goal is to get at least 500 signatures. Long Live The CYOAs! (I have a CYOA website- www.freewebs.com/silvernfalcon/. If you want me to put up your CYOA, e-mail me at silvernfalcon@yahoo.com, but please look at the directions on my website first, okay? Oh, and it wouldn't hurt at all if you would advertise this petition and/or my website!) Thank you for reading this, I hope you sign! Over and out, -SilvernFalcon.

I support this petition. This is just ****ing ridiculous. Pretty much everything about ff.net sucks. I keep getting flamed - and there\'s no way to delete them; you\'re not allowed to put song lyrics in stories, and you\'re not allowed to use cultural references (like if Inuyasha was watching Jay Leno, this is just hypothetical, but still).... I HATE FF.NET, IT ****ING SUCKS!!! :@ THE RULES ARE JUST ****ING STUPID.

I support this petition. Those who write Choose Your Own Adventure Fanfiction are not to be penalized for anything, a story is a story, and they have the right to post theirs, too. I for one enjoy them a lot, and use of the second person in writing is not illegal in anyway. There's no logical excuse for deleting CYOA fanfics when you're already a site posting fiction for something that's not originally owned by the author. Bookstores promote the sales of CYOA books and there's no reason why such a thing shouldn't be promoted on fanfiction.net If you don't like the blanks that are left in CYOA stories, then you should simply set guidelines that restrict or limit the amount of blanks that such stories have. I don't think that fanfiction.net should have a problem with chapters not being in sequential order, either, but if you're going to be picky about that then you should decide to add that to the list of restrictions, not simply delete them without just cause. I appreciate the effort of creativity that those who write these stories give the readers, and as someone who is a member of fanfiction.net, I am shocked and appalled at the behaviour that fanfiction.net is exhibiting to these excellent writers and creative fans.

CYOA's are stories too! Why should they be deleted just like that!

I would like to say that CYOA's aren't very easy to make and there are quite a number of authors out there who work their butts off to write and post them. Andthey're not even getting paid for this. It's very unfair that their stories would just be deleted because the admins don't support their stories or support CYOA's because of a completely relative reason. CYOA's must be saved!!! >_

i support this petition. CYOAs are very interesting,it doesnt affect the original story in anyway. it is therefore regarded as 'fanfiction',since it's fiction by us fans. ff.net is being unreasonable.

it's such a shame that they are deleted!CTOAs are hard to write, and I personally find them very interesting. Plus, there is anything wrong with them!!!

Reading/writing CYOAs is a favorite passtime of mine and my friends. I don't understand why they would be deleted. What's illegal about a good story?

If we can buy CYOA books in stores we should be able to post CYOA stories on the net.

Why would they be considered interactive eh? It's not like we're forcing them to read it either. People should enjoy reading what we enjoy to write! It's not fair I say! I support this petition!
