First Blog, Forgive Me

Hi All, 

Thanks for stopping by, this is mostly intended for my readers of Find it, Keep it. Even though I have not even posted ONE CHAPTER on it yet and the foreward is like two sentences, I've already had someone make a report on it. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. I am upset and annoyed to have to worry about this kind of thing, before even writing one chapter! The report complained that it should be rated m or trigger warning, which it is. Rated m. They complained that AFF has a policy of anyone involved in ual content needing to be 18. In the story, Sehun is 17. Seriously? And I also had a SUBSCRIBER of mine, I'm sorry I don't know if it was this person or not, they will likely be reading this, but the sub pmed me, "warning" me about the policy. And soon after this report, I can't help but think it is them (you if you are reading this) who made it. 

I just looked back at the pm and it was sent to me the 18th, the day before this report was made.

This is ridiculous. I am fed up and although the story is still visible to you all, this report and these threats of a potential story being banned makes me not even want to bother writing it and posting stories on here in general anymore. Person who made THIS particular report, what the hell? Don't you have anything better to do? I mean seriously, do ppl just get bored and decide to be total goody-two-shoe pricks? What irks me is that they only saw the foreward and felt obligation to make a report, befire the story had a CHANCE to be posted. You would have to subscribe to see the story, meaning they didn't even subscribe and wait for the a chapter to be put up, to decide to make this report. In other words, there was no chance to see if Find it, Keep it was actually a good story with age (17) as an appropriate factor to contribute to the feeling of it. If you don't think you want to read something, then don't ing read it. It's not that hard. 

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Or maybe what I said was stupid, because they agreed to let the story be for now. But I am seriously like "What the " about this. There was no reason for a report to have even been made yet. It was not necessary, when chapter one had not even been posted. For now, I have added trigger warning, but I don't know when I will post. I don't think it's fair that I have to feel worried and paranoid about whether or not anything I post will be banned or deleted. Please talk to me about this. I appreciate your patience in waiting for my story, and for those who have been smart and mature about reading the warnings.

Sorry for the length of this ing.

Given that this site has already been shut down once due to the perpetuation of (fictional) ography, the report on your story is pretty justifiable. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of your story or writing. The fact of the matter remains that, at 17, there are many places where Sehun would still be considered a minor. I obviously can't speak to the specifics of your story as it hasn't ben posted yet, but many similar stories and storylines involve an uncomfortable bit of preying upon the younger partner as well as an idealization of extremely unhealthy relationship dynamics. It's not unreasonable for someone to read a summary hinting at that kind of abusive powerplay involving a minor - something that you have acknowledged goes against site policy - and decide to report it. Especially when something of a ual nature involves a minor, merely warning for content does not absolve you of responsibility for what you're posting.

THAT LITERALLY HAPPENED TO ME TOO WITH EGG HEAD except they managed to force a trigger warning on my story before it was even posted and like if Sehun is 17....really....THAT'S a trigger?? i feel like people abuse the report function on this site so bad and it's so annoying my creativity is completely dampened by the wariness i feel before every story i post
