All new (possibly) Facebook link! This can only end well.

These might have been active for a while on ff.net, but I only just noticed them:



What the hell, ff.net? Seriously. WHAT. THE. HELL.

Fair enough sharing to LJ, where a significant amount of fannish activity goes on, but Facebook? Whatever possessed anyone to think that was appropriate? O_O

As far as I can see, unlike with LJ, there's no way to stop anyone from directly exporting links to their Facebook wall. I know there's never been anything to stop people copy&pasting links from ff.net, but that's totally different from the site itself suggesting that it's a good idea.

Ignore this bit, it's been answered in comments. OK, and now a stupid question (because I can't find anything official on the site to explain, and I don't fancy accidentally +1-ing one of my own stories and not being able to delete it afterwards).

Does anyone know what that +1 thing on the far right is? I'm not familiar with the icon. If it's an 'I like this!' button like AO3's kudos, then I'm in favour. If not... I shall reserve judgement.
And I'm falling on the side of Does Not Approve.

On a completely unrelated note, I still can't actually log in using my phone. And yep, I've checked the password more times than I can remember. Oh well, at least I can still log in using a computer.
