oh Fiction Alley no

[lanning]

The Pepsi Refresh Project is a funding program to support humanitarian causes. The keepers of Fiction Alley, a Harry Potter archive, think they qualify for this program, to the tune of $25,000 for new servers.

Believe it or not we've already heard some objections of the, "But think of the children!" variety: i.e., that we are somehow taking money

OMG, can we please come up with some sort of fannish punishment we can use on people like this, like something involving poking with soft cushions until they go the fuck away? This makes all of us look bad.

It makes us look like the mindless, self-obsessed fangirls that the culture at large has always portrayed us as being, and I wish to God fandom still practiced shunning. Unfortunately, a lot of HP people are supporting this asshattery. Honestly, how could anyone look at the other programs on the Pepsi Refresh site and think "my fic archive fits in here so nicely?" Idiots!

Yes. I'm seriously thinking of padding my desk, for the stupid is strong lately. ;)

[thistlethorn]

LOL The stupid is, indeed, strong. The *smelly* kind of strong.

Sigh. SIGH!
Am I the only one who doesn't want the Real World to pay too much attention to fanfic?
Sigh.

No, you're not, but we are a vanishing breed. *g*

Those with common sense will quickly remove their work from this archive so as not to be associated with the supreme, stinky, idiocy.

Your statement is predicated on the assumption that common sense exists in fandom. *g* I really hope these people withdraw their application. It's just skeevy on so many levels.
