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]

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
Answer: Well, he's not going to cancel due to financial reasons.

Thanks, Allyson.
Does anybody know any legal type people who could give me a hint about what action might be possible against Booster to get peoples money back? If I had a rough idea I could go and price it up to see if it's worth it. One of the problems is I wouldn't know where to start.

You know, I shouldn't have invented my own meanings for those words. Now everything people had been saying means something different.
Jars is married?~@!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Still gobsmacked and teary from the generosity of spirit. This weekend has restored some of my faith in humanity, really.

I think Simon & Co. deserve cheers for taking the brunt of interest
Traffic rank for Whedonesque according to Alexa. Today 9,137. Crap. That's made this story more popular than last year's release of Serenity. Holy crap. Who'd thought a cancelled con would had so much interest?

It's not a canceled con really, Simon, that attracted the interest. It's what happened after it was canceled. As somebody said on Whedonesque, if a random Star Trek convention got canceled, does anybody think the actors would have turned up to it?
I think anybody in fandom can say 'oh wow, that's cool' to this weekend. Even Fandom_Wank were kind.
By the way, I am very amused and heartened that Christina reads Whedonesque.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I heart this fandom so very, very much. What a class act! Seconding the wish for a writeup of everything, for posterity's sake.
Also?
