Cassie Claire didn't make the quid pro quo explicit, did she?
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That used to happen to me on a regular basis back when I was a stripper.
If by "brilliance" you mean booty.

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 made fun of her here, I'm pretty sure. I do my part.
Oh, yeah, she took some crap for it. But she was also supported by a lot of people, whereas pretty much no one is supporting cousinjean.

I totally want to have this problem.

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.

Yeah, I was trying not to remember that bit. Sigh.

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

Always Anti-fascist!
I whined so much that a group of lovely people sent me to LA. But I am a giant kvetch. I was not thinking that they would do that, and were it not for the check being, you know, written already, might not have accepted graciously. (The PTB kind of took the trip back as revenge, too. bastards.) Short answer being I'm pretty broke, but I would die a hundred times before I'd do that. I just have good friends that helped me once. Which is important for me to remember when I think people suck.
