This is a very interesting essay, though I suspect I'm linking it for very different reasons than many people 'round these parts: The terrible secret of LiveJournal.
I'm not a fan of fandom either, so it struck me as odd that it would point to me. But it was generic. I was assuming that it was going to point to SCA fandom being under attack, but no... it was all about the child porn enthusiasts.
I hadn't thought about the Harry Potter folks... I have someone on my f-list who writes that I think. I don't believe I've ever read it though.
It's actually just using a script to pull your username in.. a lot of people got caught by that little trick, which had some interesting psychological effects.
It made me sit up straight, and I don't really do fanfic...
