silver_sunThere are things going on with fanfiction.net at the moment with people getting stories deleted because they are enforcing their 'summaries must be G rated' rule.
In most cases it looks like it's fics where there are swear words in the summary or title of the fic. There are a few comments on the tumblr thread below that suggest they are deleting anything that really NC17 but has been posted as an M.
People are not getting warnings before the stories are taken down. FF.net takes the story down and then messages the writer to say it's been taken down.
There are people talking about it here:

I have some of my fics up over at ff.net, but all of them are hear on LJ with a complete back up of everything from this journal on Dreamwidth. None of mine have been taken down, and I've just checked through my summaries and I can't see any reason that they would be.
A lot of people on the tumblr threads seem to be talking about heading over to AO3. So things might start to get busier over their. Although it might take a while as the waiting time for an invite at the moment (presumably because there are lots of people wanting them) is something like three months.
