There is a bit of a ruckus going on in the fannish sectors of LJ today. Well, not just the fannish sector, even. And I think it started last night. Mostly I'm confused.

It seems communities are being suspended and/or deleted based on their interests.

catrinellais doing a bang up reporting job over at her journal, and while the info she's gathered together so far is mostly related to HP fandom, she's looking for info from other sources.

My favorite community,

pornish_pixies, has been permenantly suspended. Several others that I follow have been suspended. Livejournal isn't saying a word about any of it, either. No warning to the moderators, either, the communities just don't exist anymore.

Several people (

painless_j among them, and she's really the HP fandom's go-to-girl) and communities are saying that clearing all interests is probably the best way to slide through the purge unharmed. Others are frantically archiving old posts. Personally, I don't have a clue what's going on.

Any reports of strangeness from other fandoms?

ETA:

femmequixotic, moderator of the

pornish_pixiescommunity, has posted information received from the LJ Abuse people. I've learned rather a bit more from her journal than anywhere else, today. She says they're being very nice and had nothing to do with the decision, and have given her a way to access back posts.

ETA: Apparently, while I was at lunch, nearly everyone got their journals back. w00t!
