Huh. LJ fail. (Again.) So, LJ got caught trying to force everyone to specify male or female on their userinfo (suspicions are for advertising demographics), and is backpedaling lots and lots.
Details here, including where to go to register your opinion on the matter, from
synecdochic.
I've been poking at how to run a ficathon on LJ and Dreamwidth simultaneously for a while now. I might have to start looking into that more. :(
ETA: I have something on the order of a bazillion (yes, that's a technical term) Dreamwidth invites, so if you'd like one, please either comment to tell me what e-mail addy you'd like it sent to, or e-mail me at havocthecat at gmail.com and let me know.
