FanLib and LJ deletions/suspensions
The CEO of Six Apart speaks: Well we really screwed this one up.
They recognize they suspended journals that should not have been suspended. Now we'll see what they do to fix it.
In the meantime, my name at Greatest Journal is the same as the one here.
Interesting fun facts about FanLib:
Someone told me the 40 Highlander stories they have are all by the same author. Curious, I checked out the Stargate Atlantis stories.*
Two-thirds, 87 of 137 Stargate Atlantis fics, are by the same two people.
* Yeah, FanLib made its advertising money off me today -- and may I add what a pain in the ass it is to click through stories ten at a time? This is the most awkward, difficult to use site.

I'll definitly let you know how it goes - I have yet to plunge into their forums. there are some who have commented against fanlib but most there are all 'what's the problem?' and 'people are overreacting' blah, blah, blah. but there have been a few replies from the mods? admins? I'm not sure but some yahoo that obviously works there and those responses to the supportive fanfic-ers is 'you guys are great' and 'thanks for your support'. Yah, like I can't see the obvious 'let's stroke their egos so they'll stick around and hopefully do our work for us'. People are blind, dumb and stupid sometimes...
Interesting to have a guinea pig, though I'm worried about the credibility it gives FanLib.
I don't think you have to worry about credibility too much - I'm not that popular or well-known.
