Although this article brings up Dreamwidth it doesn't actually describe the full relationship behind DW and LJ. When LJ banned adult fandom fanfic, the group moved to DW and also a separate fanfiction site ArchiveOfOurOwn(AO3). AO3 in particular is part of an organization that pushes real legal change for the freedom of derivative works. LJ did not have this explicit in its creation and so fanfic writers universally went elsewhere regardless of their adult or non-adult production.
(This also became the moving of many scifi/fantasy writers in general, as the community is surprisingly small and word travels fast.)
- derivatives 8y agoAdult fan fiction, though. It’s... It’s just... Honestly, it makes a lot of sense to eschew the genre, no matter your stance on legality, free speech or whatever.
- sdrothrock 8y agoI'm not interested in adult fiction or fan fiction, but I'd still be interested in hearing what you think that.
- temp1892 8y ago> Adult fan fiction, though. The actual adult-fanfiction website or just fan fiction with adult situations?
- temp1892 8y agoWhen did LJ banned adult fandom fanfic? I remember seeing that type of content recently on LJ, but the Community/group has just moved to Dreamwidth last year.
