Also-- I'm sad to say, that I spend even MORE than 7 1/2 hours on it a month... thats more like a two week period for me.... but come on, it's true that its very addicting. Once you finish one chapter on a story, you have to read the next, or you have to go to the authors page, and see some of their other stories, or favorite things. Plus, I really just want to say, that on my stories, I get a lot of feedback, and it makes me a better writer. I see on other stories that they have more than 1000 reviews, and I think thats just amazing, because it boosts the authors confidence in their own writing. Fanfiction.net is a wonderful site, and I've had no complaints of it working weirdly, or anything wrong for the last three years I've been a member. -audiee Wow, I’m a member of Fanfiction.net, and am pretty surprised to see it even above myspace.com!

I watched a lot of good stories disappear and authors give up trying to make themselves known for their work on the internet (There wasn't another site like it at the time). The situation wasn't handled well at all. No warning, no time to adapt to the change in policy, no opportunity to reason with them, not even a threatening email saying "write PG stories or else." They just locked accounts, banned others, deleted everything, and then blocked titles and usernames without explanation. The site is well made but managed very poorly. I look it then and see what it is now and I know it will never return to its former glory. I used to love this site until the administration went on a massive deletion rampage in 2002.

I have for about 5 years, and I still love it. If you really love a show, book, or game and would like to write/read about what you want to happen, what you think will happen or a combination of the two Fanfiction.net is the place to go. I must admit though didn't post this to show my love for fanfiction.net. I posted this because I was confused about Rebecca's comment(the 15th comment) Was she referring to fanfiction.net? I think she may have been refering to one of the three dating sites that were at the attention sites list. Well anyways so I don't get too offtrack. I spend more than 2 hours of FF.net each day, and even more on weekends. I'm not surprised that its so high in the attention list. I'm actually surpised it isn't higher.

On the average day...I spend about 7 off and on hours on the internet... two of those solid hours are spent on Runescape. The other hours are spent off and on reading and posting on Fanfiction.net and other things. On free days I spend about 13 hours on the internet. Even on busy days I spend about 4 hours on the internet...7 a month is way to low... I don't agree with the assessment that FanFiction.net is addicting. People spend a lot of time reading the news and doing other things on the internet. But since a lot of people are not satisfied with movies or TV shows they see, then they are bound to fix that or try to find someone else who did. Then of course there is the use of imagination. Day dreaming is one thing but its always fun to find out that you and a hundred other people dream the same things happened to a character... Runescape is addicting...not due to its out of this world graphics or lack thereof...but because it takes so long to do anything on it. Example unless you are a very high level and you can teleport everywhere you want to go, you have to walk there.(Running only lasts so long) Quests take a while due to going to location to location and finding everything needed for the quest. It takes time to raise your combat level or any other level for that matter. All in all it is no surprise that they are popular and regularly used sites. Nice blog by the way...real informative...

They only want those wimpy women who will not come back on a rude crude, arrogant man. They will delete and ban you from the site if you do. I was on plentyoffish for several months. They claim they have some very strict rules for members. Unfortunatly it is applied to women, but not men. Example, they speak of a profile, the woman is forced to put in a profile of greater length then the men. They say improper profiles will get one deleted, yet, there are many profiles with just bogus characters in them. They claim quality men. My experience, most (not all) were very insecure, immature men who have serious life issues. They will get very rude and crude with a woman if you indicate any form of rejection towards them. Bottom line, it is a free site. So it attracts every loser in the world. The site itself is well done, unfortunatly, it just does not apply the rules equitably. This is not to say there are women out there that are much better. Again, my complaint, the site is pro-man, anti-woman, so if you decide to use it, do so with much caution.
