A few minutes ago, I checked my e-mail and found the following message from FanFiction.Net:
Tuxedo Mark,
Title: "Captain N: The Lame Master"
Summary: "a parody of the "Captain N: The Game Master" cartoon series"
Rating: "PG"
Main reason for removal: "Not allowed: interactive, chat/script, real
person, mst, and etc."
the above story has been removed because it violated the guideline
detailed on the upload page.
This infraction has been recorded and once you reach a certain limit,
your account be automatically banned. Moreover,
as a result of this infraction, you will not have upload access for a
period of time.
FanFiction.Net has a set of guidelines for the uploading of stories and
chapters.

I knew that FanFiction.Net had banned chat-based stories. Banning all script stories is just ludicrous. What's their justification? Do they think that using the script format will somehow offend readers? Are they worried that readers are too stupid to understand the script format? Does anyone know?
I was mad at FanFiction.Net for yanking all of the NC-17 fanfics. Removing a fanfic because of the format that it's written in just goes to show that FanFiction.Net is sinking to a new low.
