I have evidence from a PM conversation with F-14, showing how upset he really is.  I'll foreward them to you.

So He threatened to give your story a poor rating which could have lead to its deletion due to poor ratings?

All of the messages I sent you so fare are only half of the conversation, because it filled up your inbox.

No, on Fanfiction.Net, there is an option available for all users where you can report a story directly to the FF.Net staff for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is a rating too low for the story's contents. If Threehorn had reported me, I would have lost the story, so I had no choice but to do what he wanted and up the rating.

So for example the Contents of the story are "more mature" than allowed by the rating? I see.. You know He's going to complain about this to me later...

Well, the rest of it is mostly a normal conversation.  So I don't really see any reason to send the rest of it.  All the messages I sent you are all the big and important stuff.

The only way to talk to the Staff is through the Help section and the Report Abuse option attached to each story.

To be honest, I don't know. Maybe because I was afraid that it wouldn't work and I would lose my story.

If I was in that  Situation I would have taken  that chance.. and just to be safe i would have printed a copy of my story, just in case the blackmail worked and the story was deleted.  never cow to blackmail, because once you do, that person will continue to blackmail you at every opportunity...

The printer wasn't working at the time. So I couldn't print the story out, so if I had lost it, it would have been gone, and I would have had to start all over again, something I don't want to do with any story.

That's a bummer.  Could you have saved it  to a floppy disk or made a folder for it?  We're discussing possible options you had at the time Option 1- give in and change the story. Option 2 - not an option because printer didn't work. Option 3???

We have no floppy disk drive for the computer, though another option would have been to save the files with each chapter in it.

You should have gone that route then... Sure it would have been a pain in the caboose but it's better that having to rip your own story to shreads to save it from being deleted...
