Whyfor do you bonk me, Dana?

And I CANNOT find the picture. Sigh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

I can see Ducks getting pissed about that, but I can also see Fox getting pissed about it too.

I'm middle of the road about it. Messing with images (something I have done) or just using them cuts close to home for the product.

Sometimes it makes me think that there should be a fannish SWAT on site at all public appearances by actors, in order that they might swoop in and gag the fans who feel the need to share this kind of information.

Where, oh where, has all the tact gone?

"SWAT? What does SWAT stand for?"
"Stand for? Nothing. We're swatting these idiots so hard it needed asscaps."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Wait. There is Weasley twincest?

Are we talking sad-wrong incest fic a la Simon/River, or more of the twincest-yay! type of a thing? If it's the latter, what the hell? I mean, I haven't read the books, but my understanding (via fandom osmosis) is that Weasleys are a genial and an uncomplicated lot. Is there some weird subtextual thing I don't know of?

I gotta say, I've been finding myself increasingly wigged at the "anything goes" mentality of fandom, prudish as that may sound. There are also people around me squeeing about ME-verse actor-fic (and not delusional barbie-shippers either--these are bright, talented, usually reasonable people), and I find myself bugged way more than I have ever been about popslash, toward which the most I've felt was indifference. I dunno if I'm being hypocritical or what.
