Within the last six months, slash fandom at large has seen supposed fen create a "blacklist" of writers who had posted R or NC-17 rated fiction to LJ in public posts, and another who gleefully reported a fanfiction writer to a fanfiction archive site for posting fanfiction in hopes of getting the writer's stories removed (successfully, I might add).
I'd love to believe people know better. I DO believe that most of them do know better. I'm more hoping to deter someone well-meaning (I am, after all, an admitted fan of, and web-published writer of, stories involving sex with fictional minors) from making a mistake than prevent an asshole from being themselves.
Not that the result would likely be anything worse than a bit of embarassment for me, if my secret life as an erotica writer were to be revealed to other people at the agency. They're pretty sensible with who they will and won't hire for the type of work I'll be doing.
