Okay, so I've gotten behind on submitting my DTS chapters to groups and clubs in the past months (oops), so yesterday I got a bit caught up. This afternoon, I got a message from this club
saying that I couldn't submit my chapters to the Original Characters folder in their gallery. The exact message I received stated, "Please re-submit this piece to the Fan Fic folder. While it is original characters anything literary/written goes in the above mentioned folder."
WTF?!?!?!?! They acknowledged that my story is original, yet insist it has to be sorted with the fanfics??? Don't get me wrong, fanfiction is alright (sometimes), but my story is most definitely NOT fanfiction. By grouping my story, and all of the chapters I've already submitted to their group, in with the fanfics, I feel like they're devaluing the hard work I've put into it and that it doesn't deserve the same attention that the drawn original characters get. I'm tempted to leave the group and take my previously submitted chapters with me. Am I overreacting? Any suggestions of how to handle this situation?
