Ah. Thank you. So it's an affectation, but at least it's a friendly one.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So it's an affectation,
I've seen some sites and programs when reading fic that automatically strip any letter with accents from the text. I'm guessing that was the origin, and it's probably morphed by now.

I don't know where to put this, so I'll stick it here. Laura Shapiro just posted a Lorne vid, which will rip out your heart and dance on it. Here: [link]
RIP, Andy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
*sob*
It's probably for the best that I have fuck-all to do at work today other than watch that vid over and over and sniffle loudly.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thanks for that link, 'suela. Sniffling a little here myself.

Huh.
Historical novelist Jo Graham is teaming up with SF/F novelist Melissa Scott to write a six-volume series of Stargate Atlantis novels.

I have to admit, I don't know why they didn't hire Martha Wells for it. But, whatever.
Still, Fandemonium isn't exactly the place where you make your fortune...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oooh! That's a franchise tie-in I'd for once be interested in, if only because Teyla is likely to get a fair treatment with that authoring.

OMG, I just put all of one my fanfics into one file and it is like 19K words. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Just got a very back-handed compliment on something I wrote. Which feels like a shitty thing to complain about, as if I'm all "Where is the extolling of my virtues?" but it's *fanfic*...it's not like I'm going to make it up later in video rights...without the occasional compliment, it's like one hand clapping. I mean, Fay liked it. Which is totally good enough. But still, nothing about that made you laugh, or anything? But I guess she's not really about the fandom, just about one of the characters.

Oh, lordie. I made a public post very politely asking podfic readers not to record over music because it makes it hard to follow the story when you do that.
I've been accused of "entitled" behavior.
Which, of course, is far worse than being ableist.
MERF. Fans! Why so craxy!
