FanLib and LJ deletions/suspensions

[icarus]

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.

"... a fandom only version of Livejournal ..."

Isn't that what Journalfen is for? (I haven't seen much discussion the last couple of days, just what's on my rather small flist, so I might be mising a point here somewhere....)

Oh, there've been a lot of ideas kicking around. People brought up Jouralfen, but the problem there was the problem in getting new accounts. I'm not sure why you can't. I suppose they still use invite codes?

I think they have something even more vague than invite codes going on at the moment, and they seem to be doing some site maintenance or something right now, anyway? So yes, not the easiest place to get into, I suppose!

I have now gone into the 'head in sand, maybe it'll all go away' phase of dealing with drama, and am reading fic instead. Just started a reread of Primer to the Dark Arts :)

Good idea. Maybe I'll re-read Primer to the Dark Arts.
