I remember being out of diapers and running around in normal clothes at 2.

Thrive to spite them

Looks like besides trying to trademark "fanisode" FanLib is trying to get a patent for "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING A COLLABORATIVE WORK OVER A DIGITAL NETWORK"

A system and method for having a plurality of participants author and submit segment candidates to create a collaborative work over a computer network. The plurality of participants receive segment instructions for authoring the segment candidates. The candidates are submitted to the system and at least a subset of the submitted segment candidates are distributed to a voting audience over the computer network. In response the system receives votes (124) for a favored segment candidate from the voting audience. Next, a winning segment candidate is selected from the submitted segment candidates for inclusion in the collaborative work based on the votes (126). This process is repeated by the system until the collaborative work is complete (132).

Also, in other fannish news a bunch of ljcomms and users are getting permentently deleted over their interests. There's some group called Warriors for Innocence that is targeting anything they think is child porn. Some RPG characters got deleted but also comms with incest and other stuff in the interests (Harry Potter stuff seems to be what's hit the hardest but also some anime).

It seems like some actual real incest and pedophile users and comms are getting deleted but a bunch of fannish stuff is getting hit as well. It looks like a lot of people are changing their interests and flocking their ljs.

I remember being out of diapers and running around in normal clothes at 2.

We trained earlier, back in the day. I have no memories of wearing diapers, but my earliest memories pre-date my sibling, and I was a little over two when he was born. I think I was trained around the same time I was weaned, which would be about 18 months.

The range is later now (and I am a parent with a kid hitting potty training age, so these are things with which I am sadly familiar), in large part due to the tech advances in disposable diapers (and to a lesser degree, those in cloth).

(I'm totally outing myself as knowing a pedantic amount about diapers, aren't I? Back before I had a kid, when I just watched one on a regular basis, I could spot-size a kid for diapers. It's kind of sad. I wish I had those brain connections for something useful.)

Dude, am I the only one that wants to kick the FanLib people in the collective junk?

I think right now the only thing uniting most of fandom is a huge hate on for FanLib.

I have very vague memories of when I was young. The earliest is kind of an impression of blocks and carpet.

Another early memory wanting to stay inside and watch tv when my brother and I were supposed to go outside. I'm pretty sure the show was Emergency!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just backed up my LJ, not out of any real fear of deletion, but because it never hurts. I used LJ Archive, which was very easy.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm finding it enormously difficult to care much about FanLib, and it's making me feel kind of guilty.
