Pretty scary stuff concerning fandom and fanfic
As I heard from ladybug218 here, there's a huge amount of fanwank going on right now that's kind of scary. The long and short of the matter is that if you have a fanfiction.net profile, it's going to be archived at Fan History Wiki. Then anybody can edit information about you as they see fit, so if--in any way-- your ff.net profile can be connected to your LJ, there you go. Anything you've posted at your about your personal life can be added to the Fan History Wiki profile.
Just a heads-up, in case you haven't heard. I've taken down everything that connects my ff.net profile to anything else, but since I've already got a page on Fan History Wiki, that was probably mostly wasted effort on my part.
Here's a list, mainly for my reference, of pertinent links:
fanthropology, the people who run the Fan History Wiki
ladybug218's list
dejana has a good response here, which shows how scary this can get
storydivagirl's response
"How to maintain fandom privacy" on fanthropology
the person who runs fanthropology getting called out in the past
