Fantards

Fantards was a friends-only/private LiveJournal community co-created by artists Thornwolf and Katarina in 2003. It was a place where artists could vent about frustrations in dealing with perceived "stupid" or "aggravating" fans and commissioners. In its heyday of 2003-2007, it had over 400 members.

As posting had largely withered to nonexistence, the community was deleted in 2013. It briefly had a sister community, Fandomtards, created and moderated by Katarina.

Rules and guidelines
As with similar furry critical Livejournal communities (e.g. Artist Beware), Fantards sported a set of rules or posting guidelines, such as:


 * Not posting personal data or doxxing.
 * Media copyright (when or how to posts images in forum).
 * No off-topic, unnecessary or non-worthy posts.
 * No trolling or creating drama.
 * No leaking or sharing of the matters being discussed.

Among others.

Fantard (term)
Fantards may also refer to the derogatory term created by the agglutination/contraction of the words "Fanboy" and "Retard". Although used by both furries and anti-furries, this mainstream term use encompasses almost all know culture fandoms (Sci-Fi, Anime, Bronies, etc,...).
