Further to that hacking ...

I joined marmalade_fish  to check out updates on the hacking of sarahtales , and two important points were raised.

The first is that if you have sarahtales  friended, the hackers currently have access to all of your private posts. So it may be a good idea to defriend for a little while.  ETA, she's back, but you should still consider the fishies, it looks like a fun comm, too!

The second is that there is a suspicion the hacker is not an opportunistic Russian con artist, but someone from fandom acting malevolently. Given some of fandom's history, that does not seem as unlikely as we might hope. Why some people feel it's necessary to pour crap on those who add hard work to their talent in order to become successful is a mystery to me. Wankers, the lot of them.

I hope that it is just paranoia, but given some of the things I have read in the last year (including the Ms Scribe saga), my views on what a small minority of fandom people think is normal have shifted somewhat. My new theory is that sometimes you just have no way of knowing the depths of the crazy.

I read all about that too, it's just mental! How do people have the time for that?

I know! If I ever have that much free time I will do a spoken word version of the Mahabharata! Some people set their goals staggeringly low.
