I have been kind of following that on tumblr and trying to figure out what is going on.
From what I can tell there is one person, Tiffany, who has said somethings about wanting to restrict content on AO3 or removing content because AO3 volunteers are called pedophiles and also because of some of the content and she's also Chinese and works in IT as tech support for a governmental organization. It looks like she is worried about how AO3 is seen , partly because of the ban in China, which is more complicated than I assumed.
And this has people worried about having an anti on the board who will push censorship in general and try to take over the board and turn it into FF.net situation. Other people are worried that she works for the Chinese government and that she is somehow going to be able to dox Chinese fans who get around the ban.
There are other people who are worried she'll push the agenda of antis and go from censoring what is seen as child porn and into censoring other content and that by Tiffany being on the board it will be the first step to a take over of the board. Or just a take over. I'm not sure.
Have the election results been posted? Did Tiffany succeed in getting elected?
I've been distracted and late catching up on the controversy. And defaulted on voting.
Thanks, Dana. As soon as I get my laptop woes fixed I need to send money to OTW.
She was not elected.
Good. The whole thing was a good reminder to me to keep my OTW membership up to date.
Attention whore, whoring for attention: Family, If You Wanted (OFMD, obviously, Oluwande POV of the last 3 episodes of Season 1)
Did anyone on the planet ask for an OFMD/Little Shop of Horrors crossover? No, they did not, including me, but that’s what I ended up with: [link]
Dana, my lack of sleep is 100% because of your RNM fic "Contractual Obligations." I just finished chapter 14 (SCREAMING FOREVER), and it's after midnight and I have work tomorrow but I can't. stop. reading! It's so fucking good.
Muahahaha! I will share that with my co-author. We are, um, 40K into the sequel.
We are, um, 40K into the sequel.
That makes me so happy, because this is one of those fics that, even though it's >100K, as I'm reading it, I keep telling myself to slow down so that I don't finish it too quickly. But knowing there's more on the horizon is excellent!
