wordinistaOkay, so I busted hump over Chapter 45 of OGAM. And it's actually, as far as I know, the only chapter that doesn't have a single typo in it. I think.
Anyway, my pride over said chapter notwithstanding, I got something of a surprise in my hotmail inbox today.
Niamh St. George,
Title: "Of Gods and Monsters"
Summary: "A goddess' banishment, an unwanted attraction... Sesshoumaru has
finally met a woman worthy of being his mate."
Rating: "R"
Main reason for removal: "Rating: explicit content or adult content above
current rating"
the above story has been removed because it violated the guideline detailed on
the upload page.
This infraction has been recorded and once you reach a certain limit, your

as a result of this infraction, you will not have upload access for a period of

FanFiction.Net has a set of guidelines for the uploading of stories and
chapters.
Okay, so long story short -- OGAM is gone from FFN. Gone. Poof. Go bye-bye. Because, apparently, my content is "explicit." (Let it be known that I'm still "WTF?!" over THAT.)
Do not tell me that my content is "explicit" and above the "R" rating when I have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katmorning as a beta reader. She's one of the best. And could we please get a little MORE vague with the whole "Rating: explicit content or adult content above current rating" horseshit?
Argh. But, I went out with George for sushi -- I had sashimi, yum! -- and now that I'm home I had a little bit of ice cream, and I've made a few decisions.
So, this is what I'm going to do -- if any of you happen to be reading OGAM (I'm not gonna make assumptions here, but just in case), please note that it will be updated HERE: GREEN TEA
I'm also keeping it at Mediaminer, but it's going to go up at Green Tea first, because that's what I think of first. And Mediaminer can be less than dependable at times.
And, can I just say -- this is actually a huge convenience, because formatting for FFN was ALWAYS a pain in the ass.

Date: 2004-07-17 06:48 pm (UTC)Though I'm surprised none of my stories have been pulled. I've never gone through them and made them more of a 'R' rating... just posted them as I wrote them. *shrug* guess I don't rate for that sort of attention. *wink*
In news of another sort - how are the kitties doing?

*rolls eyes* Five minutes ago they were tearing around here like their tails were on fire.
Ahhh, but I loves them. :)

Date: 2004-07-18 02:06 pm (UTC)Oh, and I sent out a ginormous email to every single person who had me on any sort of list, plus anyone who ever left me a review, telling them where to find the 'fic.
Also considering writing a completely G-rated parody 'fic, set in the OGAM universe, essentially telling anyone who doesn't know yet where it can be found. I'm thinking of Inuyasha being rendered completely incapable of saying the uck-fay word, only able to spout out other words that start with "F"...

Morons.
I didn't even get to leave a review either! Dammit all!

Date: 2004-07-18 02:09 pm (UTC)So it's a sad fate for a story that has Kagome cooking chicken breasts while Inuyasha plays with Buyo the pussy-cat. And in the background, a rooster bellows a hearty cock-a-doodle-doo!
Well, it's gone from FFN, but it's plenty of other places. :) And now I can make the lemons extra lemony! Wheeee!

Excellent....
