Wankopalypse Early?
May. 30th, 2007 02:37 amWow. Fandom's just been exploding in insanity lately. Starting to wonder how the Wankopalypse (the release of Harry Potter book 7 on 7-7-07) is gonna top it.
... and it figures when it's while I'm away from the net.
Okay, first off there was the FanLib thing. (quick summary: People trying to profit off of fanfiction and fandom wanking at them.) [link], [link]
Now there's the 'Warriors For Innocence' thing. Who have "pledged to rid LJ of pedofiles and sex offenders" and are closing fandom communities in the process. (note: they are not affiliated with any national organization, law enforcement, or support group, BTW. basically vigilantes) [link], [link], [link].
Anyway, sure that most people's f-list is swarming with this, just letting people know that so far DC_yaoi and Takoyaoi_love are okay.
