Who *are* these people?
And there really shouldn't be fan sites that are making a profit anyway, right? Because of copyright issues.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Art Crawl!!!
Whoa -- that's mindboggling.
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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.
Who's on their list?
Mostly Harry Potter authors, it seems.

Thanks for all the fish.
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.

Is there a list of the sites they're going to target?

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
There wouldn't be much point in reporting A.J. Hall and Fay to federal agencies for violating COPPA, since neither of them are American ...
... wait, am I applying too much logic to the crazy people again?
