I think Goodreads officially allowed fanfic to be listed in...2010? The
first time I found the Goodreads librarians discussing fanfic in their
forum was 2009 (they were deciding whether to remove Cassandra Claire's
fanworks for plagiarism, which I think they did.)
So yeah..... no falling sky pieces. But for today - in one corner of
fandom - Goodreads = public = bad. I think elf hit it on the head -
"Fandom is only where I say it is and only includes those who I say
belong" Another variation of " Your platform is not OK, my platform is the
only OK." or "Print Fans Are The Only True Fans, Net Fans Are Not Real
Fans, Net Fans Don't Want To Build Communities,They Just Want To Consume
Fanfic Hidden Behind Their Little Computer Screens".
