icarusBeen hanging out at David Hewlett's dgeek.com forums the last couple of days.
It's been interesting, I've really enjoyed it. I probably won't hang out there much because my main interest in fandom is fanfiction, but watching the forums take root and grow and people freak out and then calm down has all been fascinating.
Poor David. People were so panicky about "things that might be posted!" he probably has some strange ideas of what's out there. People have mentioned concerns about legalities but I think that's disingenuous.
In reality, we'd be embarrassed if he found, say...

xanthelj's BDSM John/Rodney slash novels. Face it. If David reads fanfiction, we want him reading rivier's "Exigencies," not our guilty-pleasure BDSM porn.
- All our icons clipped from Century Hotel with captions such as "Heart-shaped ass" (with a heart drawn around his fanny?).
- The fact that 90% of the fanfic in SGA centers on Rodney, and most of that is John/Rodney. And that a huge percentage of that is rated NC-17.
- The Hewlett-head stuck-on-a-porn-star body photomanips.
- Even worse, the Hewlett-head and Flanigan-head stuck-on-porn-star-bodies and then stuck-together photomanips.
I've been thinking. What if David stumbled onto your fanfic? Are there any stories you wouldn't quietly die inside if he read them?
