How far I would stick my arms into the toilet! The incredible prose of a friend, at an interesting site I hadn't heard of before.

Yup, "into the toilet" is pretty apt for this FPP.

Don't link to friends' or family members' sites.

This reads like a crappy William S. Burroughs contentfarm. Gonna flag it for teh garbage.

Are self-links ever okay on any part of the site?

Almost never. It's against the rules to link to your own site, a site that you host or contribute to substantially, or a site of someone who is a close friend or relative of yours in a MetaFilter post. Some more detail is in this MetaTalk comment."

That is not good writing.

Interestingly enough, this isn't her friend's site. It's something her friend wrote on a third party's site. Probably still won't fly, though.

Not only is linking to something your friend made not ok, this is not a good post. Was it really worth the risk of bannination?

As a graduate of a prestigious college with a degree in creative writing, I think this is lameballs.
