* Something of the sort occurred with ''[[Boy Meets Boy]]'' and by association, ''[[Friendly Hostility]]''. There was really only one fan site with fairly specific submission guidelines, and all the fic and art seemed to be done by the same handful of people. The site has since gone offline. Averted with the launch of ''[[Other Peoples Business]]'' -- one of the first sections set up on the creator's forum was an OPB fanwork section, with a ''[[Friendly Hostility]]'' fanwork section following close behind -- helping die-hard 'shippers [[Ship Sinking|soothe the pain]] that followed the launch of the new comic. |
