[edit] Introduction
Lazytown is a live-action children's show produced in Iceland, the brain child of former athlete Magnus Scheving (who also plays the hero, Sportacus). Its primary focus is promoting healthy eating and exercise.
The television show (2004- ) is not the first version of the story, though it is the first to be known outside Iceland. The previous versions were books and musicals both on stage and CD (the first in 1996), and were all in Icelandic and set in the village of Latibær, meaning Lazytown. While the basics of each character remained similar between the last Latibær production and Lazytown, several characters were dropped along the way, and those remaining were given more English names for Lazytown. A significant minority of fanworks are based wholly or partly on the second play, Glanni Glæpur i Latabæ (1999), but the vast majority are based solely on Lazytown.

[edit] Kerfluffles
A long-standing disagreement exists between the administrators and moderators of the Lazytown LiveJournal community and several of the administrators and moderators of the GetLazy.net forums, which appears to be the only active Lazytown community off LJ.
The disagreement lies primarily in a significant difference in fan culture between the two, the LJ community based on the female-dominant, fanwork-based, mediafen culture that this wiki is concerned with, while GetLazy's appears to be imported from misogynistic boy!geek sites such as 4chan, and has in the past revolved heavily around sexual attraction to Stephanie and/or Julianna Rose Mauriello. These days GetLazy members are, in theory, strongly encouraged to keep sexual comments in the "Not Work Safe" forum, though this is patchily policed, and its fan culture remains a highly-sexualised boys' club, despite a number of active members being female.
