Fandom-based LJs that are still suspended
One week after LiveJournal promised that all suspended fandom LJs and all fiction LJs would be restored, the following fandom-based LJs remain suspended.
Update, June 9: I'm delighted to report that, as of yesterday, LiveJournal has reinstated all four LJs mentioned below.
COMMUNITIES
riddle_torture. Reported by its maintainer and some of its members to be a community for Harry Potter fan fiction and fan art.
violentboylove. A multi-fandom and original slash/yaoi darkfic community. It is similar in subject matter to the slash/yaoi comm brokenboys, which has been restored. Cached profile.
PERSONAL JOURNALS
lynntownsend. LJ of a slash writer who implies in her profile that she is a survivor of incest abuse. Cached profile.
yaoi_slut. LJ of the maintainer of brokenboys. Public announcement at brokenboys.
LiveJournal announced on May 1 that "all journals and communities that were suspended that did not clearly violate community policies have been restored." Since we don't have access to most of the pages from these LJs, we can't know whether there are genuine problems with them that are causing them to remain suspended. (Judging from the cached pages of other still-suspended LJs, some LJs really, really deserved to be shut down.) However, yaoi_slut and the maintainer of riddle_torture both say that they are having difficulty getting LiveJournal to respond to their requests to be reinstated, so I think we should continue to keep the fandom community alert to the fact that fandom-based LJs remain suspended.
The information I summarized in this post was gathered by the folks at the Strikethrough community innocence_jihad, especially the ever-tireless nodescriptor. If you know of other fandom-based LJs that remain suspended, feel free to let me know. Those of you who are interested in knowing what other comms and personal LJs remain suspended (including fiction LJs) can find that information here, here, and here.
