"we're a small company with 10 emplyees who work 16 hours a day to try and make a great website. we're real people! with feelings and everything!" That's not what I'm reading about you and your company.
"we have been working on this and dreaming about it for a long time " Since 2003, under a variety of company names, apparently.
"you are just here to shit on it without giving us a chance." Hey fandom people have a way above average IQ (it's a fact, check it out) and we know something bad when we see it.
"we really are all about celebrating fan fiction and fan fiction readers and writers." No, you are all about *profiting* from fan fiction and its readers and potentially damaging fandom in the process.
"please excuse the fact that i am cutting and pasting this across a bunch of ljs..."
Interestingly, I've just done a search and can't find a single other post from you on *any* of the most active, animated and informed discussions; this is the only one I've found.
