I can't for the LIFE of me figure out why the "Fanfic" thread was closed...

Hahahahaha, I missed this thread, but I can't imagine why a fanfic thread would be closed!

Sorry. Now I'm curious what did you determine?

We don't actually know why that thread was locked either. Mixed signals among moderators. It was subsequently unlocked.

However, fan fic is not allowed. We don't want the board full of stories about that one night Mick and John realized they couldn't quit each other. That can be entertaining, but there are plenty of other sites for that.

The particular thread in question though -- it didn't have any fan fic in it. There were some Sabrina the Teen-Aged Witch parodies, mind you, but no actual fan fic. Just discussion. So, it seems to have been locked in error.

Thanks for setting that... straight.
