and a good fucking morning to you, too  
WTF, LJ. :|

I know Justin was legal. You know Justin was legal. LJ would not consider Justin legal. They could suspend your journal permanently for fic/art without notice based on a TOS they haven't detailed and that constantly changes. That bothers me. Yes, LJ/6A owns their servers, yadayadacakes. But it still bothers me.

(Jenn's journal above is a good starting point ♥, lotsa links that will take you journal hopping around so you can get the whole story. At least from a fandom POV. Haven't heard from LJ yet. :|)

Yeah, since all of this has been going on, I'm just waiting to get that "...your account has been permanently suspended" e-mail and wake up to a deleted journal. Because if they are nutso enough to start attacking people who have posted just ONE or two instances of ambiguously minor-related stuff, our fandom is in deep-shit trouble. Because, yeah, there's that whole PREMISE OF THE SHOW type thing to think about. It's only one season, but still.

This stuff freaks me out. :( Where are we all going to go?

*sniff, sniff*

The amount of fear I currently have for my mailbox isn't healthy at all. :(( The focus might be on HP fandom right now, but there's no guarantee it stays there. Someone in the 328617439 pages of comments in the news post was wondering: If the art was deleted for simply being HP, regardless of what age he was being depicted at, if they were going by the original source material (the first book). If that IS the case, then we're really fucked. Justin would forever be 17. It wouldn't matter if you wrote S2 fic or future fic where he's 80. The source material says he's 17 and thus it's unacceptable. WTF. And we're not even touching on the problems we'll have if the accusation that it was because of the m/m aspect that it was deleted. :|

GJ seems to be our run-to place. But 2000 icons aside, it sucks there. I don't wanna go. :(( (I bet everytime there's a surge of new journals being made over there, GJ knows some shit has hit LJ's fan, heh.)
