News and updates
December 6, 2018
Over the last few days, we’ve seen a lot of fans worrying about the impact of Tumblr’s new Terms of Service on fan communities. We’re concerned, too - and while we don't know exactly what that impact will look like, we can learn from our history by reading about similar occurrences, such as Strikethrough and Boldthrough and FanFiction.Net’s NC-17 Purges.
We know that documenting and preserving our history is extremely important right now. A number of editors are already doing brilliant work documenting the Tumblr NSFW Content Purge, along with other parts of Tumblr fandom, like Tumblr meta and femslash blogs.
We encourage all visitors to Fanlore to add your memories and experiences. Anyone can create an account and edit - it's free and easy!
We’ve seen a lot of fans suggest creating a user profile page on Fanlore and adding your other fannish identities to help friends find you on other sites, which we think is a great idea! When you create your user page, be sure to add the user profile template, and check out this help page for more information on setting it up.
We know that wiki editing can be a little daunting at first, especially if you’re new to it – that’s why we have lots of resources for new editors! Stop by our New Visitor Portal, and read more about our mission and policies. We’ve also got answers to lots of frequently asked questions - and if you need more help, have any other queries, or want to know more about Fanlore, just contact us.
