This is great. Something to add perhaps - one of the most common questions I see coming up in fannish circles: "Someone wrote about me! I didn't give them permission."
Answer (and this is totally tongue in cheek): Unless you've been writing and posting and doing all your fannish activity under a rock, chances are someone has seen you and your work and thinks you're awesome enough to make it into a Fanlore entry. But in general, you don't need to ask for (or give) permission to record history and facts and people. If you feel the facts (or the way they're presented) are inaccurate, then see our Plural POV policy. And of course if your real name is being connected with your fannish activities and this is something you do not want to happen, then please contact us (see Privacy policies)."
or something like that. you folks may have a better way of helping people get over the "OMG, someone sees me!!" response.
