What story are you going to Slashdot? You're not planning on pointing to Whedonesque, are you? I think Simon & Co. deserve cheers for taking the brunt of interest in the story, thanks to BE yanking its site offline, but Slashdot would make it even harder to get to Whedonesque.

Which you've likely thought of, but I had to ask.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I've slashdotted Whedonesque a few months ago, and it survived. Uhm, just. Don't worry, I'll probably take the CNet story and the OB links or something. I've also found the website for the restraunt, which hopefully would be okay to link..


Monique - Dec 10, 2006 6:20:59 am PST #9188 of 10001

Yeah, but Slashdotting coming on the heels of Farking and Fandom_Wanking and the entire fandom already looking to the site for updates out of the need for news and the desire to rubberneck? D-E-D dead. I'm just sayin'. I've already had issues hitting the site this weekend due to all the other things coming into play, much less Slashdot.

Think of the children. And those of us who want to get other updates on the site this weekend.

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

Well, essays are all about ego so it will be from my perspective, and I was thinking about doing a piece on how the fans tried to rescue the cast and crew with Save Firefly, and how the cast and crew came to rescue the fans with Flan B.

It's made me smile that the fans poured money in to help each other. They raised the same amount we raised for that Variety ad...but in hours, and they did it to help their own. Weeks before Xmas.

God, I have no words for this. People can really be extraordinary, can't they?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Aye, Jars. Speaking of which, are you hiding from me on MSN? I demand Sheffield updates!


Jars - Dec 10, 2006 6:51:55 am PST #9192 of 10001

Ah, yes. The problem with that being that I am no longer in Sheffield - I'm living in the bog end of nowhere in Ireland, and my computer can't pick up a signal. The BF's just does though, so I'm on occasionally.

How's doings England way?

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

BF? Or DH?


Jars - Dec 10, 2006 6:56:44 am PST #9194 of 10001

Argh, I never get that one right. DH then, I suppose.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

You know, I have absolutely no idea what people are saying when it becomes BF's and DH's. I just make up my own meanings for them.

England way = rainy and cold. And, hey, I'm fat and have a beard. It is christmas, after all.

Question: is that unknown writer still doing that unknown panel today?
