Okay, the Fandom Scruples community was vaguely amusing at first, but now they're pissing me off.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jesus fucking christ.
That is a scary person, there. As far as I know, COPA has been pretty much laughed at by the courts, but ... eeeeesh.

Thanks for all the fish.
Who *are* these people?
And there really shouldn't be fan sites that are making a profit anyway, right? Because of copyright issues.

Who are these people?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whoa. Yeah, scary, and pissing me off, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Who's on their list?

The "Black List", as far as I know, largely targets the HP fandom and is here. Notice that A.J. Hall is on it.
A.J. Hall. I can't remember anything of hers that I read that was explicit.

But the profit might not be from the fanfic -- it could be, say, an archive site that runs ads. I think that would probably qualify the site as commercial, even if the fic was free.

Mostly Harry Potter authors, it seems.

Ahh...
And they are talking about locking down fic. I take it that means that a 'don't go here if you are underage' is good enough.
They also seem to think that they are the arbiters of what is okay for kids to read.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
A.J. Hall was blacklisted for linking to our own Fay's Invisible to See, which *is* explicit.
Oddly, Fay has not been blacklisted, but I guess we can put the down to the people behind the blacklist being crayzeee.
