Wait, wait wait.
I'm gonna sound like a newbie but forgive me, get these things mixed up..

1. Fandomnews at dreamwidth is run by the same person who does FanHistory?

2. Is FanHistory the one a lot of people have problems with?

3. ...or was that FanLore? I remember one of these places being considered alright and the other one not so much by the fandom majority.

I'm not familiar with "Fan Lore" but "FanHistory" is definitely dinging my radar. Michaela Ecks, purplepopple, and Laura ... something are the names I associate with the person doing it. (The FW wiki has plenty more details, I'm sure.)

Thanks. Usually it's the "Michaela Ecks" one that I stumble on. -.-

Fandomnews is a Laura Hale vehicle, who you can look up on the FandomWank Wiki. (Too much crazy for one comment to go into), and is therefore linked with FanHistory which has been used to out numerous fans.

FanLore is a project from the OTW, which some people have an issue with, but the majority of people are OK with.

This post from cofax7 has more information on the Laura Hale thing.

She has another project? Good heavens.

I see it's being handled with her usual professionalism.

I was just clearing out my inbox and came across the reply notification for this comment, and as a couple of hours ago I was reading this entry, I thought you might be interested. (If you haven't seen it already!)

I hadn't (I don't visit dreamwidth unless someone links me there; I don't want to get hooked on another journaling system). I am completely unsurprised. You know?

I mean, if anyone else said, "I'm really doing [project] just so I can use it for my own ends," I'd be stunned that they said it. With Laura? The only thing to bet on is how long it takes her to get around to saying it.

Thanks. I figured FanHistory was the "bad one". I like my anonimity so seein others lose theirs turned me off the whole thing.

While we're on the subject, FanWorksFinder is also affiliated with FH, for those who want to steer clear of the whole tainted web.

and FWF had such potential too. Sigh.
