But if there could be one exception... [Wink]
I think where there's a difference of opinion here is that we don't see it as an exception, Olympe. We see it as a completely separate section from fanfic. In much the same way as FoLC Productions is a separate section to the fanfic.
As Karen has pointed out - there aren't that many websites out there which will host original fiction. Fanfic, you betcha. But not original stories. At least, that was the case when we set up the mbs and that was why we wanted to have a section for it. To encourage authors who wanted to showcase their original characters and ideas, not based on any fanfic, and to give them a place to do that, since there wasn't much out there to accommodate them.
Imo, that's not at all the same thing as a new section for another fanfic genre. We aren't set up to cater for other fanfic genres. Just one. LNC. We're happy with that, and we see no reason to start including others. Not least because there are plenty of other websites out there which will cater to those fanfic genres. It's not as though if you can't post them here, you can't post them anywhere. With Original Fiction though, you can just about say that. If it's not here...there aren't a lot of options elsewhere, that we're aware of.
So we have all the fanfic we need or want with LNC. And a separate section for original fiction to help out our talented authors, who otherwise might not get the chance to showcase their original imaginations.
