Strikethrough 2007

Normally, I don't post about fannish things beyond the odd Doctor Who or Heroes squee, but I know a lot of you are fen and enraged about the latest pearl-clutching purge-a-thon. Beyond that, the deletion of communities and users with "illegal interests" does affect all of us, and is part of a greater trend of people who can't distinguish between fiction and reality fucking over people who can. (I counted 11 of my own interests that could loosely be considered endorsing illegal activity, ranging from arming poets to sex with the dead.) They are deleting the journals of rape survivors and Nabokov discussion groups.

springheel_jack linked to this call for a day of e-protest on Friday. I encourage everyone to participate, and this is why you may see a poorly written OOC Fred/George/Giant Squid MPreg fic* from me in a few days.

Also, while LJ hunts down the yaoi people, it still won't tell me why my comment notification hasn't worked for months. I get the following error notification when I try to track comments:

[Error: unable to get cluster reader: 0 at /home/lj/cgi-bin/talklib.pl line 1877. @ w96]

Totally unrelated to the Junior Anti-Sex League, but it's really annoying.

* Though I suck at teh pr0n, so maybe not.
