I remember it well although sad to say I dodn't post about it. I'm sure you've foudn the SuperWiki entry which doesn't have much inf aside from the names of those involved. I do remember ethrosdemon posting about it altho it may have been flocked.
I remember not being surprised that there was controversy - but that it didn't end up on Fandom Wank and that overall the discussions/arguments were (for fandom) relatively civilised, which was primarily because the idea came from someone roundly respected in fandom (maygra).
I remember that in the end they set up this enormously complex editorial process, and that not many people submitted.
I'd be interested to read your paper!
