Fanlib: the archive for people who are moving up from Quizilla, but aren't quite ready for fanfiction.net.
It obviously never had any intention of being a serious archive; the ~800-words-per-page limit shows that.
They see the positives associated with it: Better customer service, less fandom related drama, issues being dealt with in a timely manner.
I.e. "throw your stories here and avoid anything like an actual community." (Issues being dealt with? Hmm, did they ever decide how to deal with people who went through & mass-rated everything with 1 star? Did they address concerns that they were re-rating fics without informing authors, according to staff preferences, which weren't available for public view?)
About those 29,000 submissions--are they using those funny numbers where they count how many stories are under each catgory, including double-counting the double-listings? (Which might mean, "29,000 listings, which would be different from 29k actual entries. However, it's also possible they really do have that many "stories"--I recall thaty they allow single haiku as an entry.)
