IDEK what is going on, bbs, but my ankle is puffier than Motley Crue's hair.

Went for lunch at Big Blue with Carmen, then walked around the West End's fine delis, bought some cheese. It was all very exciting, as you can see.

BUT REALLY, WHAT I WANT IS SOME AMERICAN IDOL FIC WHERE IT IS LIKE OCEANS 11 BUT COWELLS 11 OR SOMETHING YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. ADAM IS GEORGE CLOONEY'S CHARACTER, Y/Y?

Also I have the urge to write het!fic for Scott, or like, the strangest, lulziest slash EVER with him.

kirana_44, your boss is a dick, hope you find a new and better job soon.

heynderyckx : your geek love fantasy is so PERFECT. It is like how I want to marry a hot anthropology geek. I have a major crush on Blair Sandburg, obvs.

Thank goodness, it looks like

jameth lost the advisory board election. I was kind of made aware of the situation by a post of

astolat's, but I also saw this post by a

metafandom mod , which linked to this one and immediately went over and voted for

legomymalfoy.

Finally that kickass bitch Jessica Valenti tells it like it is in the Friday Feminist Fuck You:

A group called Warriors for Innocence are searching Lj's and comms by interest. I assume they use keywords like 'rape' or 'incest'. You can read Liz Marcs for more info on the group, its aims and its policy. I would advise against directly linking to their site, as one person (whose comment I can't find) suggested they are using backtrack, and I believe this is possible. ETA: Liz has received another letter from the organisation, where they claim they did not intentionally target fandom.
The group then reports the lj or comm to Lj abuse, who permanently delete or suspend the account in question. jamoche is collecting a list, on which comments are anonymous and screened. lolaraincoat is also keeping track of deleted comms. catrinella also has a fairly detailed post on the subject.
Several people such as liviapenn are warning fen to be careful about their interests. 'fiction' is okay, 'crazy spacecest' is probably not.
If you are worried about bahleetion, you can backup your lj at l jarchive (thanks to seperis for the link)
It's probably a good idea to keep an eye on fandom_lawyers
femmequixotic has a good post which explains her experience with Lj abuse, and asks that people not blame them for the current kerfuffle. I have to say I agree, they're in a bit of a bind.
ETA: dorrie6 has started a Greatest Journal comm for the discussion of the issue, and its here
ETA 2: cordelia_v has a post on what we can do to push back at SixApart here

That's what I've got so far, folks. Personally I'm with the 'WTF?' exclamations which can be heard on flists all over lj. I'm also with the slight paranoia, though. All my entries from January back to 1999 have been flocked, which you can do en masse if you have a paid account. If you're not on the flist and want added, or have more links for me, you can e-mail me at rudhoreiel@gmail.com or comment here.
