It's a barn door kind of thing, I think. It is the internet, after all. Linking kinda happens.
But I don't think it's too big a deal to try not to do it to ourselves if we don't have to.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Yeah, the horse is not just gone from that barn.... at this point we have a bunch of albums full of postcards the horse has sent us from all the fabulous places it "wishes we were there."

Our wings are not tired.
There are sites that love and adore seeing links out there everywhere possible. It seems that we might let it be known somehow that we don't encourage such linkage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't think of any pervasive but non-hostile ways to do it, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
wag a finger in minearverse-- "hey guys? please don't link to us at whedonesque. It really hurts our server" (white lie) and something in the etiquette...?

What is even happening?
What if a general big mouth, non-stompy type said it, very nicely?

Those may count as non-hostile, but I also think they'd have pretty much no effect.
Most of the whedonesque linking has been done despite our public freaking out, despite the whedonesque people having been asked about it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Then can we be petty and run around the net linking them all over the place? Like, where there's porn and stuff?

There isn't a "they" to be petty towards. Plus, they might like it.
