More on FanLib
Telesilla wrote something very good, about going through the (now removed) FanLib FAQ question-by-question.
Also, here is a link to Pink Guy/Blue Dude slash. >:3 It produces fleets of rofflecopters on lollerskates.
From a conversation about Icarusancalion's article, linked in my previous post:
"FanLib also failed to research the demographic of their writers, with a patronizing tone and site design aimed at teenagers, where many of the fanfiction writers they invited were professionals and university students in their 20s, 30s, and older, including their own employee jdsampson who'd been writing fanfiction since the 1970s. Yet the owners appear confident that a "young audience of teens [make] up such large part of the community.""
StephiTravellyr: YEAH. a cautiously-regarded and MUCH MOCKED part of the community.
StephiTravellyr: there is NOTHING as reviled as the 14-year-old fangirl.
Seriously.... senior fans act like they're walking on eggshells around teenage fans, waiting any moment for The Crazy to rear its ugly, txt-speaking head and rip out their throats. Wise teenage fans DO NOT DISCLOSE THEIR AGES when joining a community. X3
