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.

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?

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

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?

BF? Or DH?

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

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?

Did anybody see that Wired has a page up saying to sue Boosters? I think it's safe to say BE is dead.

Very bad Clare Kramer fan art, from the heart of a fan who's no artist. [link]
