Started in 1998 by webmaster Xing Li, it soon snowballed into something incredible. Its secret to success is its limited moderation and fully-automated system, meaning posting is very quick and easy and can be done by anyone. Pretty much the ultimate expression of [[
FF.Net has had such a strong influence on the fan community that it was almost solely responsible for making the [[Script Fic]] obsolete - it banned almost all fics written in this form. This was mostly due to quality concerns over people being extremely lazy in their writing from the format. It has also banned [[Real Person Fic]] due to the potential for libel suits, forcing the RPF communities elsewhere, such as to [[
Since 2002, it has banned MA and NC-17-rated material and opened up the site to minors (13 year olds). [[
There is still a 'Mature' rating category, the tag of which still needs to be manually selected to view adult fics. For a number of years, writers insistent on posting MA and NC-17 material on FF.net despite the ban put their [[Lemon]] and [[Lime]] there instead. As enforcement was weak at best, ignorance and/or deliberate disregard of the TOS/Guidelines became almost an unspoken norm.
On June 2012, the admins ramped up their enforcement of TOS/guidelines. This included responding to reports of plagiarism, copyrighted material, non-stories, MA material incorrectly rated as M and resulted in the removal and suspension of thousands of stories/accounts which were allegedly in violation of the rules.
The action did not go down well with a small but vocal percentage of the community (estimated around 20,000 out of 2 million plus users). Key reasons for the outcry were complaints that there was no notice to change the "offending" material. (It should be noted however, that as stated the [http://www.fanfiction.net/tos Terms of Service agreement] for Fanfiction.net, "
Other reasons for protest include the admins providing vague and unclear reasons for removal of stories, or sometimes no reason given at all. There were also a small number of cases of wrongful removal of stories which were compliant with the guidelines. Some authors who appealed the removal reported that these stories were reinstated with reviews intact on successful appeal.

The nickname "Pit of Voles" comes from a Google-bombing campaign that succeeded for a while in making FanFiction.net the number 1 Google search result for that phrase. The aforementioned AdultFanFiction.net is known as the Uber-Pit. Currently, FanFiction.net is the second result for this phrase, with the urban dictionary definitions linking to FanFiction.net as both third and fourth. First? This article.
