We the users and authors in such communities as pornish_pixies and other banned communities as signed below, wish to inform the people who have attempted to besmirch our communities that we are not bad people.
We are not interested in corrupting children, or others sensitive to such material.
As we the undersigned understand, a Livejournal community that was based on Harry Potter fanfiction was banned because it contained "incest" in its interests.
We fail to understand how this was so violently misconstrued.
We are interested in fanfiction, which, by name, is fan-based fiction. Some of this fiction includes incest, pedophilia, and rape.
In some cases, writing these stories may very well be a therapeutic route, allowing those who have dealt with these horrors to better cope with their experiences.
In other cases, these aforementioned social taboos are used simply as plot devices, though rarely ever in a flippant or thoughtless manner.
We the undersigned wish to formally express our disappointment at Livejournal for banning these communities without consideration of the motivations of the people responsible for making complaints against them.

937 1 Aug 2008 - 0:35    Melisa Ameko Koessel : I support this petition.
936 16 Jul 2008 - 20:03    Jess : I support this petition. Most of the commus on LJ with fics are f-locked and/or invite only, so I see nothing wrong with it. As an avid fanfic reader & writer, this whole thing offends me. The people against fics containing whatever had them deleted disgusts me. This is the exact opposite of promoting creativity - which is what I THOUGHT LiveJournal was about.
935 11 Oct 2007 - 18:19    Andrae : Everyone with an ounce of brain realises not only that LJ overreacted completely in this matter. It seems that there is a strong anti-homosexual, Christian conservative bias, and that's not exactly making me think about getting that paid account.
934 27 Aug 2007 - 1:18    Megan Hoteling : All those who have joined together as fans of yaoi, yuri, hentai, etc. know very well what we are getting into and those who don't have been given warnings. When the risk of

932 17 Aug 2007 - 18:40    Alisha Miller : You're not making it safer, LJ. You're making it emptier.
931 13 Aug 2007 - 7:00    Chris : Its called fandom for a reason. Because it is. not. real. Its not like I'm about to go out and rape my little sister or something now just because I read darkfic.we keep our fetishes in our heads for the most part, and it is completely unfair to take them away for such a silly reason.
930 5 Aug 2007 - 23:11    C. M. Boland : I am a survivor. I know there are those who have difficulty determining fantasy from reality, but that does not give them the right to project that delusion onto others.WFI and groups like it make the sound-bite speech of,

924 13 Jun 2007 - 18:53    Elaine Stengel : What they've done is inexcusable, and could be likened to the witch hunts in centuries past. Among other things. >.< LJ should be ashamed of themselves.

922 6 Jun 2007 - 19:44    Dan C : There is nothing offensive in my blolg, but that's not the point. Freedom of expression must always prevail.

912 3 Jun 2007 - 3:23    _beetle_ : Fandom-related posts are LJ's bread and butter. Don't bite the hand that feeds, Six Apart.
911 3 Jun 2007 - 1:58    Tonia Barone : Everyone's already said it, but I'll repeat it: Just because it's in our profile or our journal or our posts does not mean we are child molesters or pedopheliacs. I myself survived molestation as a child, yet I'm pretty certain my interests lists several
