For the porn! You must, for the porn!

[lettered]

Most of you probably already know, but it's for the porn! It's like children, in a way. Those of you who were at all concerned by last year's account deletions by SixApart/LJ and how long we waited for explanations, LJ is hosting elections for user representatives on its Advisory Board. Here's some things to think about, if you're concerned for the porn:

-We want someone in fandom. I . . . am not a fan of the beginning of this post, but it gives a nice run-down of nominees' fandom status.
-For someone in fandom to win, fandom as a unit will probably have to vote for the same person, or we'll be all splintered. In general, I'm uncomfortable voting under a "ticket". But it might be the only way to get someone in fandom in, and someone in fandom is better than no one in fandom.
-Join fandom_votes.
-Look a fandom candidates and their platforms here.
-Vote for your favorite fandom candidate on fandom_votes to help figure out what fandom should vote for here.
-There will be a run-off between the top two in that poll to decide the final person fandom should vote for. It's supposed to start midnight on the 26, so get your vote on.
-Vote for the fandom_votes candidate in the election.
-Pimp the comm. Pimp the list of which candidates are fandom. Pimp the election. PIMP THE PORN. xanphibian is pimping her chosen candidates by giving away free fic! Do that! Or something!
-Be aware that the Advisory Board and/or the user representatives may not actually be able to address any of our concerns for the porn.
-Try anyway.

Porn is, indeed, a lot like children.
