Way bigger that I'd thought it was

I got this the other day:

Dear Fujur Preux,

I'm writing on behalf of a new fan fiction site. We're trying to bring fanfic authors into the limelight and make the whole experience fun and dependable. We'd love it if you checked us out.

You may be interested to know that we're running a sweepstakes we call "Win a Movie Theater for a Day." Submit your best fanfics and reviews on our site, and you’ll have a chance to win a private screening of your favorite movie.

We hope you like our site!

Regards,

So I went to poke around. The contest's prize is a screener from whatever movie you like in a local movie theater. And even if I didn't think Cinepolis would go for it, I got an account anyway because, well, it could be a nice place to pimp the fics.
But there was this little, lovely detail that I didn't exactly like about the whole thing:
which leads to this:
I don't know about you, but I become fairly paranoic of a site that asks my password for another site. And that's what actually prevented me from posting anything there.

I was going to let it go and find other shinies to focus on when I saw a metafandom post with a bunch of links to the reactions of people who took the time to poke around more deeply than I did. This one about the TOS is particularly enlightening.

So, I'm just passing the voice. :3
Have fun, kids.

P.S. This is still on.

Yo también estoy toda paranoica por esa página. Mezclar industria y fandom es como mezclar tequila y vodka: no se hace y termina en vómito.

Porque es de mala educación... una de A:TLA. ZukoxSokka. Sí, ya sé: es ridículo ese pairing. XP Pero tengo que conseguir todo lo que pueda, hay muy poquito.
Yo te ofrecería uno pero... ma Muse is still in Brazil. Es decir, estoy bloqueada.
