I'm so confused!

Okay, so what exactly is happening here? I know I am waaayyyy behind everyone, but hey, I'm extremely busy!

Rumours said that some random dude reported AFF to the police because he caught his underage daughter reading stories about child abuse on the site. I'm not even going to comment on how stupid he is to not put a family filter on his daughter's computer, or his own negligence towards his daughter by allowing her to "stumble upon" the story. When I was his daughter's age, my mum would literally sit beside me when I was surfing the net. He should just sue all the H websites too since anyone can enter frankly speaking, by clicking on "I am above 18 years old". Okay, enough of my endless rambles which I think I could go on for ages.

Right, AFF is based in the US, so we have to follow the rules of not writing stories involving minors under 18 in any form of ual situations. I hear two different arguments going around: 1) between under 18s is fine but between an under 18 and an adult is not  2) Anything involving under 18s is not allowed

Which one should I follow? Enough of all those people going around acting like they own AFF, telling authors about the rules and creating more misunderstandings. Now, people with stories involving child abuse were being reported and had their stories taken down too. (Should I be worried for Switch?) 

So, until AFF issues an official statement regarding this issue, I am going to lock up all my stories, since I am on hiatus anyway. I don't want to end up in a situation where I log onto AFF after awhile and realize my stories were being reported behind my back and taken down. I am planning to continue my stories after my exams, especially Switch and Epic Dinosaur Land, and I will write flash backs of Jaejoong's child abuses in the orphanage in Switch, and also write content involving marriage between under18s,  under 18 yo and adult( Heck, who marries above 18yo in ancient times??!!). Oops spoiling the story too much here XD 

All the best my dear friends and readers! See you in a few months' time!~ 

Warm hugs from,

Charmaine

Report it to the police? Is he nuts?! Gosh, if you don't want your daughter to read these stories, block the website or something, don't spoil it for the rest of us! Besides, does he not understand the point of clicking 'I am above 18 years old' before the story? Like I am not even joking, that guy is practically like reporting sites to the police except he has watched them before. Or suing Apple because his child spend too much time on an iPhone. Really. Parents should stop doing that.

Well all I can say is it seems some parents will do anything to make it seem like they didn't do anything wrong it was someone else's fault. Seen this way too much over the past couple of years.

I was scared for a moment that all the stories were gone. I was reading Only one and I went unavailable. I completely agree parents needs to take responsibility for their kid and make their kid own up to their actions. If you keep the stories invite only can I get an invite when you get back. I want to reread Only One and Epic Dino Land's Jae is so adorable.

Truly annoyed at those folks who think they have the right to police other people's work .... And even more annoyed when I realized that again Hard Love was taken down .... Yes, I do understand that there are rules about the 18 years thingie but I thought this whole thing are really being taken out of context. Just get real ... Tell me if indeed under 18 in the U.S. are not having ... Ugh ....
Anyway, enough venting .... I just downloaded the LJ apps so it is easier for me to maneuver within LJ. I'll just satisfy my love for Hard Love in LJ.
Charmaine .... How are you? Hope you're doing well with your finals .... One more month before we can hopefully enjoy updates from you especially Switch. How is your European trip - coming soon right? So envious ... You must be getting super excited ... Will you blog your Europe trip?

This is non related and based on personal research ancient time or even our grand parents time under 18 marriages last longer and are happier than nowadays mature adult marriage again non related to the aff thing

I think the things above is just an hoax~ it spreads when aff went offline several days ago.

in my opinion the thing that cause aff went offline was the snow strom at US in that time. coz i thought that aff server was at US.

remember when fb and ig went offline at afternoon (KST) too on the same day? the cause for fb and ig incident was snow strom.

and before fb and ig incident happened, aff went offline first at morning (KST) on that day too.
