Cassie Claire didn't make the quid pro quo explicit, did she?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It doesn't count if I don't directly solicit donations, right? I mean, I can't help it if people are overcome by my brilliance and fling cash at me.

Has this been a life problem for you to date? Cause, damn, I picked the wrong fandom if so.

That used to happen to me on a regular basis back when I was a stripper.

I made fun of her here, I'm pretty sure. I do my part.

I wish I had been a stripper before it was too late. I'm going to have the most boring writer bio ever. Should I publish anything.
[edit: Cassie Claire also had a lot of people supporting her for barefaced plagiarism.]

I think it makes a big difference if you ask for the money yourself. And what it's for. An iPod? Not very acceptable. But there was a whole kerfuffle about a woman who needed an operation and had no health insurance, and that seemed (more) legitimate. She still got harangued by a lot of people.

I keep seeing the Cassie thing referenced but I'm not sure I remember the deal.
