Looks like LJ declared war on us.

Fine. What's another place that fandom could take over? Any of you have any idea? How's Journal Fen, for one?

Indeed!

I guess we've made ourselves vulnerable by sticking on this place which is corporately-owned. Suddenly the idea of setting up a big archive by the fen for the fen seems like a much better idea than I thought previously!

I just sent a mail to LJ asking what this is all about. I'm not in the mood to wait for the story behind this to slowly trickle through.

That fen-run archive is sounding better and better. If LJ hops on the corporate bandwagon here, then I'll let go of my scepticism and just take a leap of faith.

Good idea about the mail! Might make them realize they don't want to lose our custom.

Yeah, likewise. We need a platform for legal matter. And we need an official association anyway to defend our interest generally speaking. (RPG as a hobby does, and they're a good model of a co-creative community of people who have no trouble living with money-making and free-exchange co-existing)

It's starting to look as though we'll soon not have a choice anymore about how public and official we want to be. Maybe this one is a drive-by-shooting and fandom is getting hit by the stray bullets (looks like it, from what I've seen), but who knows when someone gets it into their mind to go after the evil people who promote gay romance? The RPG scene really sounds like something fandom may do well to look into in terms of how to protect ourselves.

We couldn't fly under the radar forever and just hope they'll never go after us. Sooner or later there'll be an official trial about the legality of fanfictions.
