Eat Your Kimchi requesting fanfics? Dafuq?

No offense to Simon and Martina (I love their videos as much as the next kpopper), but this whole requesting fanfics to be mentioned in one of their next videos seems kind of ridiculous to me. I never pictured those two to even be interested in fanfiction It just seems like this whole thing is getting a lot of authors riled up. I've seen SO many livejournal accounts just go on lock down and people getting upset about their stories being shared without their consent. And EYK did mention they wouldn't take stories without the authors consent but c'mon now...someone is still going to send it without consent.With that said, I think this whole thing is just making unecessary inconvience for a lot of fanfic readers and writers. I wanted to read some stories today on livejournal and saw a lot of accounts deleted...that's just upseting. Bottom line: don't send a story without asking the author first.

I would be honored if someone sent mine to EYK. It would mean they thought it was good enough to share.

I would assume EYK would ask the author permission because it's unlikely an author would send their own. Martina has admitted to reading fanfiction so I would doubt they'd do anything bad with it. It's annoying how freaked out everyone got though >.>

Agreed. No means no guys: If an author doesn't want his/her fanfics sent to EYK then don't send them. We aren't hating on Eat Your Kimchi either, just because we don't want them to read our stuff -__- Some just don't get it do they? Plus there have been reports of readers going against the author's wishes and sending them anyway ><
