Fanlib cause for concern...

[catzslave]

Apparently there is a new fanfiction community called Fanlib that wants writers to provide them with stories, which Fanlib in turn will turn will profit from. They cover themselves legally but offer no legal protection for the writers, and if you provide... they give you a lovely Fanlib t-shirt.

How nice.

Please read and pass the info on. The fewer writers ripped off the better.

Here's another from Mashable social networking news: http://mashable.com/2007/05/18/fanlib/ (take a look through the comments following the main article.)

This one is kind of funny/sad. It seems Chris Williams (one the creators of Fanlib) has a LJ account mimbo and is spamming other LJ users.

I like the look of the new community: http://community.livejournal.com/life_wo_fanlib/
