And in part, it's because I've found that talking to people, rather than lying about them, especially when you think you're talking behind their backs, is much more positive and productive and in keeping with the spirit of the HP books. SQ has been on FA's Links We Love page since the site was founded, and they are certainly going to stay there.

GT has been gone for a month now, and the Harry Potter fandom is still fighting. I find that funny, because various people associated with FA blamed it all on the people at GT. Well, who do they get to blame now? Sugarquill? Nah, that'll never happen.
People...you are not celebrities. If you were to walk away right now, 99% of the people wouldn't remember you in a year. Get the fuck over yourselves.

OF COURSE they'll blame Sugarquill. Or The Hidden Tower. Or Sink Into Your Eyes. Or any other pro-R/Hr and pro-H/G site that the mental cases at FA think they can get away with blaming. They're completely delusional and have the attitude that if they can't have their way, then they'll destroy the fandom entirely just so those of us who were right all along can't enjoy it. Pathetic and childish, really. And as if we need any more proof of just how much these people are out of touch with reality, have a laugh at this...

Written by none other than Penny Linsenmayer, one of the H/Hr adminazis at HP4G, which needless to say, is also associated with FA. Coincidence? I think not.

You seem to lump the entire fandom except for GT, SQ and a few small sites under the banner 'FA'.
Yes, most of the active fandom is registered at FA, but most hardly ever go to FAP. Many are more actively involved with Veelas Inc, or Armchair Slash, or RS, or many other non-FA sites. Only a tiny minority of BNFs are mods or regular visitors to FAP.
Penny has nothing to do with FA, btw.

Fighting about what?
I've seen no fighting, everything has seems very peaceful.

I never really got this mentality about FA that some of the R/Hr and/or H/G community has. I've never once gotten flack from anyone at FA for being a R/Hr shipper.

Date: 2003-10-23 12:23 pm (UTC)Aside from the Aja/Stacy thing it's been all quite on the fandom front, kind of peaceful actually. No troll journals stalking people, no kerfuffles to stir folks up, and the ship wars seem to even be holding a truce at the moment. There's the same old tensions boiling below the surface, but none of them have come to blows recently, at least not publicly. It's been sort of nice.
Methinks someone (and I don't mean you Heidi) is a little peeved because there *isn't* anything going on to create fandom drama and excitement.
