Oh, fandom

maychorianThis is probably kinda my fault for having a big flist and reading so widely, and I hate wank and never want to get involved, but I've seen some stuff lately that bothers me, so. (Keeping this vague because if you don't know what this is about already, you don't need to know. Don't go looking for this stuff, srsly, it makes your life difficult.)
Listen, you guys, I consider all of you my friends, even if you only friended me for the fic and never comment, that's fine, I still care about you. I see people being worried and upset and taking sides, and I don't like to see my flisters not feeling good about fandom and what happens there. So please, before you take a side and get all up in arms, you should really try to find out all the information you can and not just take it from one source. A private (fan-run!) organization has the right to follow their own policies, and I don't think they've done anything wrong. This is just my perspective, of course, from reading a bunch of posts and following links all the way down the rabbit hole, because I'm too curious for my own good sometimes.
I expect this will all make Fandom Wank sooner or later, so you can probably find the whole story there eventually, if you want to. This is all I have to say about it.
