It's a Raid! Livejournal Purges Fanfic Pages
:: Posted by Bryan @ 6/06/2007 04:01:00 AM 
As is ably summarized in this interview, under pressure from advertisers and a homophobic Christian group, Livejournal purged a bunch of blogs for sexual content almost two weeks ago. This has led many in the online fanfiction world (especially fans of slash/gay fanfic and art) to fear a mass purge/clampdown. The event has become known variously as "Strikethrough 07" and "the LJ Purge."
I'm posting this here because the slash fanfic world is a sizable part of Canadian comics and anime fandom, as this Alpha Flight-related group attests.Labels: blogosphere, censorship, fanfic
