Fanfiction Getting Removed for Not Meeting Guidelines

[Nicole]

Cannot rate or add any of SenLinYu's books to my shelves because they "do not meet catalogue guidelines", but when I click on the guidelines I do not understand why they were removed. One of the books, Manacled, was even posted under a duplicate of the author Sen Lin Yu, but only one of their other books was added there. Please help.

Hi, the books were marked invalid by Goodreads staff. Librarians don't know the reason. The librarian manual reads "Book-length fanfiction which is complete (no WIPs, please), and self-published. Note that we do remove fanfiction at the author's request" https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...

It's most likely the author requested removal but this is just speculation on my part. You can try to ask support if you want https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hey y'all! I just saw an Insta post that shared that SenLinYu is being published, which will be called Alchemised. It seems to be based on Manacled, and Manacled will be taken off of AO3 in 2025. I'm guessing what Tami said above is the case, and that SenLinYu asked to remove it, so the eventual published version can standalone on goodreads without Manacled!
