Half?!? That's not very good odds.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Well, conversely, "all" is very good odds.

I'm...not sure what that means. Maybe I wasn't clear in my spluttering.
My irritation with this whole thing is almost entirely from the way it was handled. If LJ had taken down comms dedicated to incest fiction, I honestly wouldn't have been surprised. They are a business, and their profitability and liability is much more of a priority than fannish satisfaction. Also, you won't catch me listing incest in my interests, even if it was something I read. (I checked, and the worst thing I had was "gay vampire snuff porn." Does anyone even remember where that joke originated?)
But the way they went about it was insane, from a PR standpoint (as I have already rambled on about), and now, at the end, to come back and say, "Whoops, half of those 500 deletions were totally wrong?" After the CEO was quoted in the CNET article saying he'd be surprised if more than "a dozen" were wrongly deleted?
I feel like I'm back in school, reading a case study of how not to do things.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thrive to spite them
I did a threadsuck and I found this from Due South: Mountie Fetishists from Fay:
I bit my lip before playing the "Hey, I write fiction about the Jossverse & Smallville characters and publish it online. Up to and including gay vampire snuff porn" card, because that may have been TMI. Especially since it was a temp job.
But I'm not sure if that's the first mention.

And Jessica mentions it on June 17, 2002
Since two of the most religious Christian women I know are probably either reading or writing gay vampire snuff porn at this very moment, I just had to laugh.
But I have no idea if that is the first mention or not.
Us? Obsessive? Nah.

I had the feeling Fay might have been involved.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Somehow I connect that phrase with Fay. I'm probably wrong...but that is where my brain goes.
eta - nice x-post

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
My irritation with this whole thing is almost entirely from the way it was handled.
Dana is me. I've been tracking it pretty carefully on my LJ, and with some caution in how I phrased things, because I really didn't want to get into the relative morality of incest-fic and chan and actual pedophilia. And I still had a narrowly-averted flamewar in my comments.
I think Katie's right: can we have a nice simple shipping war now? I'm tired of the meta. Tired of fandom; it's too much work.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
At this point, I just kind of want to see people posting more freaking stories.
I am fresh out of meta. And there's not enough porn.
(Where porn = apparently, if you are me, entirely gen stories with a side of angst. Because of the aforementioned porn is broken problem. Which is, as Fay'd say, pants.)
