Don't panic.

[heidi]

I just read a post by vampsarecool regarding an lj & fic deletion by minervaalistor, who I didn't know, but I wanted to quickly take a moment to remind "the fandom" (actually, anyone in any fandom) that if a parent is threatening you and you've put ratings/minor-blocks on your fics, or if you get a cease & desist letter, dont panic. Post about it on fandom_lawyers, tell the EFF, report it at Chilling Effects. Don't just panic and delete everything and leave the fandom and run away without knowing the law and how it applies to you*.


*YMMV if you're an Australian resident or reside in a country like Saudi Arabia with such strict anti-porn laws that they ban Glamour magazine.

Wow, overreaction much? I'm terribly afraid I don't see the grounds for contacting the authorities over a kid reading something that she shouldn't have been reading. I feel like I'm missing something.
