What I remember is that someone came up to them at some sort of public appearance, told them about twincest stories, and took a picture of them holding a sign that said "Twincest sucks" or something like that. The picture was all over Livejournal for a while, and kerufflage occured, with a lot of people saying that it was tacky to recruit real people to further your fanfic cause. I have no idea what the ultimate resolution was, if any.

Want me to google for the picture?

That would be great -- I read discussion on it, but the picture in that LJ entry had been taken down.

I was wondering if it was sabotage, if the twins had actually expressed an opinion or had it placed in their hands for a photo op.

I think this -- a fan asked them to pose with the sign, or at least that's the impression I got from what I read about it.

Image is hard to find with the obvious keywords. I'll try the actors' names....

Whyfor do you bonk me, Dana?

And I CANNOT find the picture. Sigh.

Oh, I'm not bonking you. I'm just stunned at the people who have no problem going up to actors and saying, "Hey, in case you didn't know, people out there write porn about you! Wanna say something about that?"

ION, Ducks' fanfic site seems to have gotten a C&D. Details here. Note that the board I linked to is apparently B/A focused, pretty anti-Spike, and not pleased with later seasons of the show.

It looks like they're pissed about pic and not fic. Is that your read of it too?

Hello! This is your friendly Sense Of Shame calling. You seem to have left me behind at a truck stop in Toledo. I don't have a problem with the porn, really I don't, but in the interest of evolutionary continuity, please come pick me up and reinstall me soonest so that I may save you from being added to Scary People Arrest On Sight lists. You know I only want what's best for all of us. Thanks!

Yeah, that's generally what gets people busted, images being much easier to point to and say "copyright infringement".

I thought that was it, just wanted to check. Yeah, it's tackiness itself, especially since they really *are* twins. Are the actors even over age 18? Because I think it's even worse if they're minors.
