A question for my fellow fen:
moonlightfans and moonlightfans.com: Real fan or corporate shill?

Moonlight is a new vampire detective show coming to CBS this fall. Given that it stars Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars) and Sophie Myles ("The Girl in the Fireplace", Doctor Who), it's not *too* surprising that there's a fanbase before the show airs.

Except that the domain name moonlightfans.com was purchased before those cast additions were announced.

Except that the site is run by someone named "Patrick" with no apparent history in fandom. And no LJ friends.

On the one hand, I like that PR companies are recognizing that the fan base is something they should be courting. On the other hand, we're a community, not just a bunch of anonymous people with funny names. Don't leech off the community if you can't even be bothered to find out who we are.

Or possibly I'm wrong and there's a Patrick in fandom who's a big fan of Alex O'Loughlin (who plays the main character on Moonlight and is the only part that hasn't been recast recently) and decided to make his first jump into fandom be this website.

And has insider information that isn't even in the Hollywood Reporter yet.

Opinions?

ETA: Patrick has emailed me and requested that I tell you that he is "not associated with the show." (He would have posted himself, but it looks like anon comments are disabled.)
