To be blunt, I want all my votes stripped off of any story that is made pay access. If I can not access the story, as a free account, then my vote should be stripped off the story, be it good, bad, or horrid. I consider this absolutely abusive to start a story as a free story, then to switch it to pay, before the second chapter hits. There should be a mandatory requirement to finish the story as free, if you start it free, only allowing it to be turned to pay thirty days after it is finished. Also if a pay story is made free, it must stay free for a minimum of thirty days before it is switched back to pay. The switching of a story from free to pay is no different than posting a teaser in my opinion, posting rule 17, should expand to include free stories being required to finish as free. Now I know many authors will not agree, and I don't care, this is me stating my opinion. Feel free to argue about my comment, without further input from me.
