Since LJ has taken away the option of Basic accounts, and I can't -stand- ads, I've decided to do my filter blog here.
My topic: Fandom Censorship. Specifically, I'll be focusing on the events of Strikethrough 2007, as well as current cases such as Lexicongate (The attempted web to book publishing of the Harry Potter Lexicon) and popular views of fandom. For example, the outrageous claim of 99 out 100 pedophiles being Trekkies.
As I think the current Rowling issue has shown, even the creators who tolerate fandom only want the parts they appreciate to exist. Not to mention the efforts of those who hate us...
And. I would like to state this now, so I don't get too ranty in my actual assignment. WE ARE NOT ALL PLAGARISTS. Just because we like writing/drawing your characters doesn't mean that we think that they are ours. Nor does it mean that we are incapable of coming up with our own words and ideas. Being published does not give you sufficient right to tell the little people they aren't good enough, especially you, Mr. Lee "fanficcers aren't real writers" Goldberg.
Okay, I just have to stop myself ranting about the intrinsic assumption of fandom perversity. Leave that for your later blogs, Serenity. *slaps*
Good? Good. ^^
Ja ne~~!

Hey Serenity,
It sounds like a great topic. However don't forget to add links to some of the items that you talk about on the words that they appear. In blogger I think it is Select the word then Ctrl+Shift+A. Then you can insert the link. I don't know your full prowess on the blogsphere, from what I understand it is pretty good.
Going so far so good, you have good work very interesting to write about.
Wish you all the best with it.
good luck~
(sory, i don't have enough english vocab to encourage people m(_ _)m, that 2 words is the only words in my head /// )
thanks for comment my blog~
looking forward to seeing yours~
Hi Josh,
That wasn't my actual post. That was a post explaining my topic and venting my frustrations. ^^;; I do know that we need to have links, and yes, I do know how to make them, but thank you for your assistance anyway.

(And I'm sorry if that sounds aggressive, I just don't like it when people assume I am not aware of what I'm doing. I may also be currently tearing my hair out in frustration as Word just mucked up and I lost most of my actual post. :( :( So I'm not in the best o moods.)
