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.

And there really shouldn't be fan sites that are making a profit anyway, right?

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.

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.

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?

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?

Huh. That's an egomaniacal site. I mean, a silly, wrong-headed site, but primarily what strikes me is the egomania.

I wonder what 'federal agency' advised these people, because yeah, I have yet to see COPA do anything but molder in the Library of Congress archives.

Ah, thanks, Holli. I think I knew that, but I tried so hard to forget that these idiots existed...

the people

I seriously think it's *one* person, possibly the arabe1la who's credited with starting the "movement." The entries switch back and forth between "I" and "We," which suggests to me that it's an "I" thing. Possibly an "I" with a few friends being vaguely supportive, but a one-person movement.
