It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hmm. I thought I'd heard they show American programming without subtitles.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

A Whedonesque question...

I thinks it's a little creepy when stuff Tim says here becomes a news item at Whedonesque.

Caroline, Whedonesque's site owner, doesn't like the circular links on the blog anymore.

Are we still in agreement that we don't want links directly to Tim's posts (or any of our posts) on Whedonesque?

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

Why? Isn't that Whedonesque's purpose?

I don't mind except for server load and bandwidth issues.

Have we been Whedonesqued on the dedicated server?

Why do I get creeped out?

I always feel a little buffered because our threads aren't googleable. If Tim makes an announcement here about a show cancellation/pickup, it's certainly news to his fans. But on the slippery slope, is a conversation about Paglia/closer to the earth/FCM Founding Fathers/whether getting a period makes women grow up faster than boys...is all of that a link at Whedonesque because Tim is participating in the conversation?

There's a difference, in my mind, between a conversation between friends, and what Tim does for a living.

It'd change the way I interact in that thread if I thought a debate about the differences between men and women became fodder for Whedonesque linkage.

But it is. The non-googlability is no protection at all, from anyone. Everyone with a net connection can see it and link to it and all that jazz. Being unsearchable makes it a wee bit harder to stumble on, but we can't mistake that for any sort of privacy.

It's nice that we haven't been linked to directly recently by Whedonesque posters. But all it is is nice.

I guess I'm having nightmares of Herc at AICN linking to us after seeing it at Whedonesque and then having an assload of talkback shitheads pouring into Minearverse acting like fools.

ETA: No, we haven't tested a Whedonesque hit on the new server.
