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.

Honestly, though, I think the fact that they rewarded people for the number of stories uploaded tells the story.

Which is why I went over there the other day -- looking for stories I recognize. This is a grand opportunity for plagiarism, especially if none of the good writers go there.

that was a contest that they were running which has recently ended - and it was also for posting and reviewing of fics (though I'm not clear if it was if you got reviews or if it was if you gave reviews)

but yah, I saw that contest and was like wtf?
