Fan fiction scam?

[emmagrant01]

Anybody know anything about this? You have to take a survey to see what they have there, which I despise doing. They make it look like they're some sort of archive, but I find the whole thing a little suspicious.

ETA: It's definitely a scam. darththalia took one for the team to find out. Wow, links to all sorts of sites where the fanfic is already free. Idiots.

Um, aren't all archives, comms, lists, etc., free sources of fanfiction? I suppose calling yourself a 'library' makes you special. Or something.

I'm too lazy to bother with the survey. What happens when you finally get in? Is the HTML paved with gold?

I'm with you. Too lazy to bother -- especially when most sources of fanfic don't make you jump through that hoop. I don't think they're going to get very far. (Although part of me is curious what they've got, because if they have stuff they don't have permission to archive, that's seriously uncool.)
