So, my oldest Tumblr account got deleted yesterday and I have no idea why. I contacted the mods but got no answer so far. I can't come up with any reasons that aren't paranoid - was it because the account was registered on the .ru email? Nah, then there would be complains from other users who met the same fate and it would make it into the news. Was it because of the subject matter? The blog was dedicated mostly to all the things Lovecraft and maybe someone took offence with that and used some bullshit reason to send a complaint to the mods? Also unlikely - Lovecraft's reputation has been in the gutter in the recent years but not enough to be a reason for a ban.
Well, thankfully I also posted a lot of my texts from Tumblr on my Deviantart page and so they didn't get lost. I already made a new Tumblr blog which of course is also Lovecraft-themed, but I'm a bit afraid to inform my few lost followers about that - what if it was someone of them who got me banned? Can't trust anyone these days, tsk, tsk. Pity about the deleted blog - it had about 600+ posts and reposts about The Phantom of the Opera and the similar amount of these about Lovecraft. On the other hand, the new blog is tied to the same email that my Blake's 7 Tumblr, which makes it much easier to switch from one to another (I didn't know that you could do that when I created a new account for B7 posts). I also started reposting my texts on Twitter, in case something happens to my Deviantart account too.

I never planned to, but it seems that my interest in this website reached the critical point. I'm surprised how much I like writing for an internet encyclopedia - it seems that it has just the right mix of collective and individual contribution, of anonomity and visibility that I found suitable for myself. For now I'm writing and editing articles for Blake's 7 (being an older media fandom, it's one of the most extensively recorded at Fanlore), but I'm also thinking about writing about the Phantom of the Opera, which isn't that well-recorded there. The problem, of course, is that while I'm enthusiastic to explore Blake's 7 fandom at any point of its history, I don't want to even come close to large portions of the old POTO fandom archieves, which limits me to the 2010s and maybe the descriptions of the "time before that" that I heard from modern fans.

My Fanlore profile is here. I have a lot of plans, but not sure if I'll be able to carry them out.
