Okay, here's the dealio
So here's the dealio: A Teaspoon And An Open Mind (the main Doctor Who fic archive) underwent a changing of the mods and implemented some changes in policy.

About the same time, user MelindaKitty was banned for using a homophobic slur in an essay and being abusive to moderators. Also, as it turns out, misclassifying one of her essay as a story. (There are screencaps.) She was kind enough to post the essay in question so we could see how entirely not like a story it is.

She was not very happy about it. Neither were either of her spouses or her friends. But the mods and their ilk kept their own comments on the affair behind f-lock and so things quieted down for a while.

Then came the Fighting Spoon. Fighting Spoon's purpose was to provide a place for people to bitch about the recent policy changes at the Teaspoon. It also created an lj comm which claims it can "achive your fics but you should use friend only posts there - so Teaspoon Mods don't know who's with me" (which ignores the fact that anyone can see who's joined a comm.)

Meanwhile, in the journal itself, Fighting Spoon starts out by reposting an email where it complains about how it took a whole twelve to fourteen hours for their fic to get approved now that submissions are moderated. In the comments, moderation of submissions is called repressive pseudo-fascism and V for Vendetta is quoted channeled.

Wank breaks out on all sides! There is tl;dr rant about how mods should be democratically elected and that the whole thing is in violation of the First Amendment, never mind that the mod that banned her is SCOTTISH. Melindakitty's husband reposts the Godwin-invoking lyric-filled rant he'd emailed the mods with. People get confused about who swore at the mod. A debate on the nature of fascism is held. Comparisons are made to Animal Farm. The spirit of Aldous Huxley is called upon. Someone tries to play peacemaker which doesn't work.

All the while Fighting Spoon is backpedalling furiously and MelindaKitty just wants to get back to policy.

About the only thing missing from this is Rosewank, but don't worry, someone's trying to start one in the wank report!

They're always trying to start Rosewank in the WR comments. What dependable little Rosemice they are! I think I love them a bit for that.

As ninjas should we be announcing ourselves like this? Aren't we supposed to be lurking and oppressing the Rosefen by liking Martha?

We're that special kind of ninja that's really loud. And also very quiet and sneaky at the same time. And either way, we oppress everyone who likes Rose, whether or not we ever even mention her. We are just that talented!

I've never even seen a single episode of Doctor Who, have only the vaguest idea of what the canon is like, and yet feel that I know more about the conflict between Rosefen and Marthafen than I know about the conflicts in some of the fandoms I'm actually in.

Bless the Rosefen.

Only if you dare venture into the fen territory. If you remain away from it you should be fine. It's what I do and I haven't been taken by the crazy. Or I'm pretty sure I haven't.
