Some things I cannot change

An Open Letter to fandom by ivyblossom

Quote:I suspect they didn't mean to rollover academic communities talking about Nabokov. I suspect they didn't mean to blast incest-survivor groups. But I'm pretty sure they had every intention of packing in communities like pornish_pixies if it would help their image.

So when they talk about the "kind of community" that they want to build, just remember: if you're in fandom writing stuff that might qualify for the communities that got axed, you're probably not their kind of community. Think about that before you give Livejournal any more of your money.

And an amusing take from annajaneclare.

I just saw this on akire_yta's journal and I think it's kind of cool. It's a community called Fandom Counts, which is basically just a head count of how many LJs are actually fandom related.

There are over 2500 people signed up so far, but there's a heck of a lot more of us than that. Go. Join.
