The staff is non Existent. Email alerts have been down for a month and the staff hasn’t given us an update since March 15th.

Been on there since 2009, and in that time it went from being a decent site to a site that is in decline. I tried reporting a spam comment I received on a story advertising a suspect website for a few months now. The stats counter is broken, and has been since September. The PM feature is broken, as well as the notifications; my younger sisters have to tell me when their stories are updated. Rule-breaking are openly tolerated, and even dominate a few categories such as the Screenplays and X-Overs. Since posting to AO3 I only updated my current WIPs or stories I have earmarked for cross-posting, or reading my favourite stories.

I wish I could delete my account. Customer support is not helping anymore. They're either lazy or just don't give a crap. I've sent an email about adding a new category for a movie I'm writing about a few days ago and I received no response. AO3 and Wattpad is way better.

Pretty awful site. It's the same for years and no one is improving it since forever. The Admins are extremely lazy... Like a lot of this sites they don't allow certain themes that are often required for writing a story in specific genre. Try to write about horror slashers without violence. How? In the end it's a kid version of better writing platforms. Plus ff.net is full of trolls. Absolutely no fun. I would recommend other sites to upload stories or read them.

The truly great thing about this site is how long it has been around. There are some really fun stories on this site. However, in that time there have been a few updates here and there... and that's it. I don't feel like the people who run the site actually care about making sure the site runs optimally. Every other month there is a new problem. A couple of months ago I started getting double chapters and double reviews, all of them copies in my emails. Have they even looked at it? I have no idea but it certainly hasn't been fixed. Now I've been trying to post chapters to stories I've put up already, and new disappear. Nobody can get there, nobody can review it, nobody can even read it. I get that with sites there will be problems, but none of these ever seemed to actually be solved. That is no way to run a site.
