We have to make a bit of a sad announcement. Because of some issues within fandom, a group of fans reported THF to paypal for our explicit content. Paypal did an investigation of our site and found that we broke their TOS for the sexual fiction we host.

Because of this, THF is now permanently banned from using Paypal, which is how we collect our donations. We had some valid reasons to believe that this group of fans was attempting to cause some other problems that would result in THF being removed from our webhosts and taken off the net.

We have spoken with the people who had us banned and they have promised to take no further action in harming THF. At this time we are not worried that THF will be removed from our server. So, there is no need for anyone to delete their stories, though backing up your work is always suggested.

The big problem that has resulted from this is that THF is no longer able to use Paypal. Luckily, we have paid our webhosts (thanks to all of your amazing donations!) five months in advance. We also have extra money saved from these donations to keep THF afloat a bit after that as well.

We will attempt to find a new way to collect donations in the near future, so don't worry about the website going down because of payment issues.

We are very upset over what has happened, and that this group chose to take such harsh measures against us. We've already had some authors remove their fan fic from THF because of what has happened and that makes us very sad.

We appreciate all of your support through this, and we want to try and do everything we can to keep THF on the web and our members happy with what we offer.

You are all amazing. :)
