As others have put it, I'm simply namesquatting. Back when I joined LJ I'd intended to use my nom de plume, but discovered that some teenager was already using it. :( So I'm taking no chances with FanLib. Whatever meager reputation I may have gained as a writer is too valuable to me to chance its being highjacked.

And based on what I've seen, and have been reading about FanLib, any fanfiction I have written, or will manage to write in the future, will never be posted there. The site is unattractive, and not at all user friendly.

Nor am I at all impressed by the language and manner of the FanLib execs in their various responses to the questions and concerns of the fanfiction community as a whole.
