Usually the loudest objectors to any kind of public fandom documentation, preservation or discussion are not talking about authors copyrights - they are usually talking about fandom ethical codes and how "everyone knows you're not supposed to talk without permission". But even if they were ...well, frankly, any fan who thinks they can put fandom back into the closet using copyright law is in for a rude awakening when they start using that new fangled thing called elec-tr-icity.

What cracks me up is when slash fans talk about "fandom" - there were as many - if not more - gen fans and most of them are not running around the internet trying to persuade one another to Not Talk About Fan Club. While many slash fans had (and still have) good reason for slash to remain hidden, slash fans forget they are part of a larger media/anime fandom community that may think differently from them and may welcome - or at least tolerate - the greater visibility that the net affords. It does, after all, allow us to find our pron so much more easily. And that's all that really matters.

Here's a thought-experiment. In a few years' time it's quite possible that Google will be able to link up pseuds and RL identities - and make them available for all to see on the internet. Does that mean that people in 2014 who are putting up their fics under pen-names should have anticipated this, and would therefore have no grounds for concern in those circumstances?

I am, though.
