From Fan History Wiki
- On September 13, 1991, The Simpsons premiered on television in Germany. [1]
- On September 12, 2002, FanFiction.Net banned all Real Person Fic (RPF). The Beatles community on the BeatleLinks Fab Forum, which had spent the previous two months complaining about the site, immediately went to work trying to have FanFiction.Net rescind their ban. One of their main arguments for keeping this material was that removing it violated their freedom of speech. By September 21, the petition that was circulating in various fan fiction communities had 2,259 signatures.
- On September 13, 2002, the mailing list Bed_of_Lies was created and dedicated to the Hanson story of the same name. [2]
- In 2004, Lil_Princess incident happened. According to BleedingRain8281 on AIM, the timeline for this is "I'd say that she started around September, 2004. She ended in November....two months to get 2000 reads. 1000 reads a month, about 30 reads a night...that's alot." This incident caused a stir in fandom because Lil_Princess was writing deliberate badfic, making friends with people and otherwise trying to make the point that Good Charlotte fan fiction could suck but the author could be popular because quality did not matter. What mattered was who you knew. This meant that the community tolerated and encouraged poorly written drivel. This message was recieved but not happily so. It left a lot of people with a dirty taste in their mouths.
- Participants for the lazytown_santa were given their assignments on September 13, 2006. [3]
