christinejaneanderson whispered:

Eeeeeeeeep. Thank you. Their wedding. Was. Just. Lovely. :) And I laughed how Ellie twigged what they had gotten upto their wedding night! hehe. Can I ask... What happened with Blaine, and Ellie and Michael, when it was just the three of them, the night before? Anything cutsie? Talking... ? I was just curious.

Yay, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I like to think that the three of them just kind of hung out at the apartment watching movies or something, and eventually Michael and Ellie realized that Blaine wasn’t even paying attention because he was in such a lovestruck trance, so they started teasing him and joking around, which eventually turned into the three of them talking and Blaine showing the kids some old pictures of him and Kurt over the years when they were friends so they could see just how much it meant to him that they were FINALLY getting married. :,) Who knows. Maybe I’ll take that idea and run with it, and maybe write a oneshot based off of it or something. ;)

Eeeeeep. That would be lovely, if you did decide to. :)

LiBaM Quotes!

"I still remember that conversation we were having in the yearbook picture, y'know," he commented nonchalantly. "I never knew there was a candid picture of it, but I still remember that moment."

Kurt stopped shoveling for a moment and turned to Blaine with a bewildered smile. "Really?"

"Sectionals, senior year," Blaine reminisced. "It was during intermission and your group had just performed a few minutes earlier. We were up first right after the break and for some reason I was worried about this one dance move in our routine that I could never seem to do correctly, so I was telling you about it. You told me not to worry, that if even Finn could manage to dance his way through an entire routine without seriously injuring himself or someone else, then I'd have no problem. And then we started laughing and I guess that's when they snapped the picture."

Snow drifted quietly to the ground between them for a few seconds, then Kurt shook his head in disbelief as he smiled and continued shoveling. He'd completely forgotten about that moment up until now, but it had all come back to him when Blaine described it. "You astound me, Blaine Anderson."

FanFiction.Net Members, please pay attention!

All right children. I think it's time for a mature person to enter into this game and set some children straight. I'm an eighteen year old. I'm not the world's best writer but, nonetheless, I do not bully or insult others for being better, or worse, than I based purely upon inane and petty prejudices.

I want to draw your attention to these individuals; whom I've focused on purely by chance and am, in no way, personally blaming them for the entirety of hatred I've seen going around. However, they need to be held accountable for their behaviour just as surely as any other; they are not exempt from the rules.

First of all, the Terms of Service of FanFiction.net are interesting.

Let's look at section six, parts A, B and D.

Section Six: User Submissions and Conduct:

A: As a Fanfiction.Net account holder you may submit TEXTUAL, AUDIO, VISUAL, OR AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: Stories, Poetry, Polls, Profile Images, Forum Messages, or Instant Messages.

B: You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the CONSEQUENCES of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: YOU OWN OR HAVE THE NECESSARY LICENSES, RIGHTS, CONSENTS, AND PERMISSIONS to use and authorise Fanfiction.Net to use all patent trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions and have all necessary consents to collect, use and disclose any personally identifiable information contained or displayed in any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service.

D. In connection with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner and the necessary consents from any individuals whose personally identifiable information is contained in such material to post the material and to grant FanFiction.Net all of the license rights granted herein.

Here is my incredibly mature response: "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use."

Now, if we move on to the Content Guidelines and the Community Etiquette, which I think is going to be very interesting to read.

Guidelines for Fanfiction.Net

Community Etiquette:

Spell-check all stories and poetry. There is no excuse for not performing this duty. If you do not have a word processor that has the spell checking feature, use a search engine such as Google.com to find one.

Proof-read all entries for grammar and other aspects of writing before submission. 'Hot off the press' content is often riddled with errors. No one is perfect but it is the duty of the writer to perform to the best of his/her ability.

Respect the reviewers. Not all reviews will strictly praise the work. If someone rightfully criticizes a portion of the writing, take it as a compliment that the reviewer has opted to spend his/her valuable time to help improve your writing.

Everyone here is an aspiring writer. Respect your fellow members and lend a helping a hand when they need it. Like many things, the path to becoming a better writer is often a two way street.

  Use proper textual formatting. For example: using only capital letters in the story title, summary, or content is not only incorrect but also a disregard for the language itself.

Numbers 3 and 4 should be remembered by those who would be so rude, and impolite, as to post cruel, unkind, and often offensive responses to the "fics" being written by aspiring writers. Most especially when, some of those who 'criticise' don't even write on here themselves; what is the purpose of your account except to bully and victimise others?

However, whilst these individuals must be brought to task for their behaviour, so must those who break the rules; including myself. I didn't read, fully, the terms and conditions of FanFiction.Net which is my mistake. However, I must point something out here.

Numbers 1  and 2 are... problematic. You see, I use Microsoft Word when I'm writing and, unfortunately, MSW doesn't catch all of my spelling or grammatical errors due to lingual differences; I am British, MSW was designed using American English. Therefore, it is not simply a matter of using "spell-check" and having everything turn out 'a-okay'.

  FanFiction.Net Content Guidelines:

Entries not allowed:

Non-stories: lists, bloopers, polls, previews, challenges, author notes, and etc.

One or two liners.

MST: comments inserted in between the flow of a copied story.

Stories with non-historical and non-fictional characters: actors, musicians, and etc.

Any form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and etc.

Chat/script format and keyboard dialogue based entries.

Actions not allowed:

Multiple entries of the same material. There can only be one copy of any unique story on the entire site. No exceptions.

Rewriting names of characters/locations of one story in order to upload to multiple categories.

Copying from a previously published work (including musical lyrics) not in the public domain.

General rules:

Entry title and summary must be rated K for all audience. No exceptions.

Entry must be given the proper rating. No exceptions.

Entry must be placed in proper category. No exceptions.

Chapters of the same story are not allowed to be submitted as separate entries. All chapters/segments must be grouped together using the 'edit/upload chapter' feature in the left menu.

Everything mentioned in the above Content Guidelines I agree with; wholeheartedly, however, I do not agree with the behaviour of some "critics" or the manner in which they behave. It is deplorable and they should not feel proud of themselves nor vindicated when a 'fic' is took down by the administrators of FanFiction.Net.

Now, to everyone involved in FanFiction.Net, whether as an avid reader of 'fics' or a passionate writer of them, I am asking you, begging you, to please read the terms and conditions of the site before you post! And to not stoop to such low and detestable levels as those who would insult, belittle and generally "troll" writers for not conforming to their preferences.

Hardly any of the things that this particular member of "Critics United" - as they so amusingly call themselves - is actually 'banned' by FanFiction.Net.

They say that no-one cares about the clothing a character wears; not strictly true. Ask J.K. Rowling or perhaps Stephen King, Victor Hugo (well he's dead now but he wrote Les Miserables). This "Gaaras1Girl" is simply expressing their own opinion and implying that everyone agrees with it. I certainly don't. And, just so you know dear, I like to describe what my characters are wearing so don't ever read what I post... you may have a fit.

And now, I leave you with this my dears.

This post by the fantastic whatsernamelambert is what has set me on this trail and I hope that you read what they've posted also.

In addition, this post by cutepiku, which they've also linked, would be a wise thing for any and all FanFiction.Net users to read through and do. I myself am going to do as they suggest because no-one, not even the Queen herself, has the right to behave in such a deplorable, and frankly childish, manner as what some of these supposed "critics" are.
