If has been said once, it's been said a million times: Support is a bitch.

Okay, FF.Net,

It's great to know you are actually asking for more categories. Heck, it's nice to know you're even doing what you said you will. This morning, when I was through the new story feature, I noticed some new categories. I'm slightly happier with you now. 

But, I do have to say this:

I hate your support. A lot. All I wanted was to request a frigging Monster Allergy section. That's it. I could've also asked for a Zombies Ate My Neighbors one, but decided I could ask for that if my first requested category went up. And you use Outlook, which I've always had a hard time using. Based on my stats, none of my requests (which total six) have been sent. I've used the program's help and support info to try to get at least one of them to you. This is driving me insane. I'm just about to give up on this point and hope someone else will request it because I can't.

Not very happy, 

Kady the Red Panda

What the hell, FFnet. Really.

Many times I write you asking you to add "Razer" to your character list, without a reply.

Today, I find out you finally added him.

Under the name Razer Gefahr.

Admittedly, I wrote them the other day asking them to add Razer--I do it once a month or so in the hopes they actually WILL--but there was no last name involved! That's just fanon--my fanon, yeah, but I'm not going to try passing it off as canon! The letter I sent them went something like ( this. )

Does it call Razer by the last name "Gefahr" in there? I think not. Which means someone else submitted the same request using my fanon name as canon, or someone on the FFnet staff did a quick search and caught the wrong freaking thing.

...I have a feeling I'm going to be getting some flack for this. Makers, I hope not. That would suck. I know I'd go kinda ballistic if someone went and wrote in Wikipedia that their fanon was canon, and then somehow made it so it couldn't be changed.

Otherwise, I'm not sure whether to be really amused or just stay over here squirming around in whutthafeckery.

A rant and a small pat on the back

[dancingkirby.livejournal.com]

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to ff.net for finally updating the YGO GX character filter. It will be a lot easier for all the people who write about Season 3 events.

Now...when you're doing so relatively well, ff.net, could you please do us a little bitty favor and...

PUT A CHARACTER FILTER IN THE POKEMON CATEGORY ALREADY?!

Because of its long run, Pokemon has just about THE most complex roster of characters for any fandom I know about. What's more, there is the animeverse, mangaverse, and gameverse! There needs to be some way of filtering all that stuff.

Well, until the time that ff.net might miraculously read this, I'm gonna have to use the Search function to find the good Traceyfics and Orangeshippy stuff. And that's not quite as efficient as a character filter IMO.
