catscradle Sep. 11th, 2002 10:39 am)To those freaking out because FanFiction.Net has been blacked out for 9/11: I have to wonder about people that place fanfic so high in their lives that they can't do without even the worst of the archive sites for one day.
Folks, the site owners are from the US – it’s their own prerogative to shut it down for 1 day out of 365. If you don’t like it, there are a billion and one other fanfic archive sites out there. Chill out.
I get the political statement and that the US government has gone insane, brought it on themselves, got what it had coming to ‘em, et cetera . . . But today, some people, some very real people, need to grieve. Give the people a day to mourn their dead and we can complain about the US foreign policy tomorrow.
Thanks.
