Fandom - Censorship?

There are 131 missing author ids on sugarquill.net. They represent the 131 authors who were deleted, either for technical reasons or for not complying with something. I know of Kokopelli, and of Alec & Teri. I think some other were tossed out with Alec & Teri. Who else? What were the causes? I suspect canon interpretation fundamentalism. Or is this something one does not speak about in polite company?

Well, here's the Reader's Digest Condensed Version of events from my perspective:

Erica, Liz and I all left SQ when Alec and Teri were demoted from The Professors' Bookshelf without notice or explanation.

I understand that the SQ is under no obligation to archive anyone's fic if they don't want to, and I can even understand them being annoyed with people who publicly criticize the Quill's policies and procedures. However, the rude and cavalier way the whole thing was handled really put me off, so I resigned in protest.

Don't know about the other 120-something people, though.

Thanks Rebecca and Emily for clearing that up.

Emily, you mean Melissa's ridicule err... critique of Lori's epic is not up on SQ? But that is like the official righteous flaming err... concerned opinion of the conservatives on the topic of the so-called "shipping dabate"!
