If I recall it correctly, Fanfiction.net gained this nicknames not (or more probably not only) for the sheer amount of badfic that can be found there, but because the admins didn't think twice about getting rid of the Original Series after a complaint from one of the people whose badfic was sporked (thus showing that they considered less offensive canon-raping badly written fics that well-written tasteful mocking of them.)

Long story short, the Pit name stems from FF.net basically siding with the badfic authors during the Original Series.

The Pit- or FFNet- is a funny place.

I actually hail from the Pit. It was where I started out, and it's where I do most of my work today.

It's kind of like walking into a dark mine, sans lamp. Sometimes you'll find a gem, but more likely than not you'll just haul up some rocks and dead rats. I am one of the few who has good enough vision to find more diamonds than rocks.

The thing is, there's a lot of badfic there. It's where a good chunk of your sporking material will likely come from. Cupcakes and Molestia started there, for instance, as well as My Immortal. It's also prone to Trolls. And don't even get me started on what happens in the Pit of Horny Weasels.

But there are also some goodfic authors there too. They post there for the wider audience. I've seen a couple of things I would even consider Legendary Goodfic, such as "The Urthblood Saga", which I believe all Redwall fans ought to read. It's also one of the places where most OFUs are posted.

Basically, if you venture into the Pit, be careful. You might come out with the motherload, or you might lose all faith in humanity. Or maybe both. You may be flamed, or you may be praised. A few others here also have accounts on the Pit. Try to find them. They'll help you out.

I have no idea why.

Technically you can put your PPC stuff there, but it's recommended to back it up elsewhere, because they frown on such things. So it's not necessarily a good idea-- you could find your whole account dissolved, which would be bad.

People didn't take kindly to PPC missions when they were posted on the pit. I think there are some people here you can ask about that, particularly whoever it was that got their stuff taken off for whatever reason.

Yes, PPC missions have been taken off of the Pit. That's the main reason why we don't do it.

If you want, though, you can post missions onto Googledocs and share the document, which isn't too hard to do.

The Pit itself tends to frown upon Sporkage, and to be fair back when PPC stuff was posted there it actually led to PPC badfic.

I'm sure others will put it more eloquently, but I think you'll find it something of a resounding no.
