Your Definition

A formerly brillant site which has now spiralled into a sad pile of crappy Mary-Sues, pointless, restrictive rules, and endless server problems. Nevertheless, it still seems to have a monopoly on about 99% of fanfic writers on the Internet, though you have to trawl through a heap of Sueage to get to anything decent.

Fanfiction.net annoyingly bans, among other things: stories in script-form, stories in second-person (or "you-fics"), fics involving real people, and anything they deem "[interactive]", up to and including responding to readers' questions. As a member of the PPC once declared of scriptform: "If it was good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for fanfiction."

It also doesn't support many [punctuation marks], such as *, <, >, , , and /, despite several of these being vital to certain fandoms, for example as the <> "thought-speech" speech marks in the Animorphs fandom. It also removes any links or email addresses in stories.

The site furthers its bad reputation by randomly banning a lot of really good stories for absolutely no reason. Its reporting system also doesn't seem to be regulated, as it can and has happened [that one person] has reported another's story because of a grudge rather than the story having anything wrong with it, resulting in the story's unfair deletion.

Fanfiction.net is popularly known as "the Pit of Voles", or just the Pit. [Have you ever] heard the saying that a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare? Well, if [that's true], then common wisdom is that whatever's writing the stories on ff.net can't be monkeys.
