Really enjoy it

the folks who own this site don't make good decisions regarding ads. the pop ups are very annoying, and don't go away. they also occasionally get the nasty virus in a pop-up.

A massive archive of fanfiction of all types. Yes, even adult oriented fanfiction. Keep aware of this if you allow your kids to surf the site.

I absolutely adore ***** because it has a great wealth of fanfiction from various fandoms, but it is necessary to realise that many fanfics do contain various levels of adult content (written/literary), from "fade-to-black" to explicit written sex. However, ***** does use a rating system for fanfics from "K" or "K+" for children of varying ages, to "T" for teenagers, and "M" for adults. It also has a reporting system for fanfics that have been incorrectly placed in the wrong rating category. Use with caution or supervision, because some content may offend some readers. Other than the adult content, there really aren't any issues with FF.net. As with most sites with unsupervised advertisements, it would be advisable not to click on suspicious links.

Twice I got a virus from this site, both times because of their ads. If you're going to read/browse this site, make sure you have either NoScript or AdBlock add ons (for firefox)

I've reported some pretty disgusting porn on ***** - it was still there after weeks. Obviously the mods there have no interest in deleting stories depicting the rape of corpses and other such nice things.

Good site for fiction of various anime, manga, cartoons, games, comics, and etc... Most authors have good judgement in properly rating their works, but the site doesn't provide supervision so it all up to parents/guardians to keep an eye out, but noting really bad about the site, though at times they have annoying ads especially on IE which mess up the scroll bar.
Helpful
An excellent site for those seeking fanfiction, unfortunately while the site itself has strict rules against NC-17 content, it does exist, and is not hard to find, as such it's not a site that should be used by young children without supervision.

I love ***** it is an amazing site to check out! i read HarryPotterfanfiction like no other and i love this site! It does have adult content, but you choose your rating, if you dont want adult content dont read MATURE stories, when you start to read and see that it is rated M, DONT READ IT. There are plent of amazing stories ratined T>K. M is amazing!
Helpful
Great site for aspiring writers, easy-to-use interface. Some content is not suitable for children, but all 'M' content is automatically hidden.
Helpful
Good Fanfiction database, though anyone can read an M rated fic without age verification, which is fine for me, but what about a 9 year old browsing the site?!
Helpful
I like to read the fan-fiction that are found on this site. I have be going to this site for years now and I can say that it is a good way to kill time on a rainy day.

i LOVE this site it's my favorite :)

It was a fun and nice website to read some anime fanfictions =D . . . until I got adware and trojans from it D= Some of my friends have even reported getting viruses from there or having their computers crash or bluescreen when browsing stories. When you look up a story, it will lead you to an advertisement first usually by a illegal casino website or a phishing website, requiring you to press "skip" to get to your story. Browse this site with common sense and caution!

The site can have inappropriate content. You don't have to put a bunch of information about yourself, so it's kind of private,

Yay it is Entertaining because i can Find Dib stories!

AWESOME site! There is adult content but there are rating systems for stories so if you read a nasty story your fault sister 'cos you should have looked at the rating :P
2
Just a site where people publish their fanfics for various series of all kinds. Yes, there are child-unfriendly fics, and Sturgeon's Law is in full effect, but there's a rating system, so you can tell which fics would be appropriate and which would be not.

It's the largest archive of fanfiction, but 99% of it consists of "stories" full of poor grammar, lousy spelling, and creepy fetishes. The beta readers just skim through the stories and don't give any decent criticism and any review which does not say that a story is OMG PERFECT can be removed at the author's request.
2
There are lots of stories for just about every fandom. Yes, there are plenty of rated M stories, but you don't see them by default.
