Anybody else getting a lot of 403 Forbidden errors on FFN?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The Sellout is fabulous, 'suela. Loved it.

Yeah, I've already downloaded it; it will go into my regular rotation of Vids Which Inspire Me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I showed my sister Starships, among other vids yesterday, and she couldn't understand why it made me cry.
I guess if you haven't seen every show or movie that comprises it, and the song wasn't an anthem for an important facet of science fiction (she's started reading fantasy, but not sci fi yet, I don't think), I guess it's not ... I just thought it would be easier to explain.
I will post it to IO9 and see if they get it.
I also showed her Profound Bond, and that anyone who's watched SPN and two romantic comedies gets that. You don't have to ship it to find it well executed.
I missed out on this year's Vividcon DVD! I can't believe it's not last year still--I swear I just watched the last one for the first time.

Shrift--is SPN totally out of vogue at Vividcon? I was just going through some of the older DVDs, and there's a big dearth. Did all the Vivid-people never get into it, or fall out of it?
Unrelatedly, in one chapter this poor author revealed that she thought a) replacing a spark plug was expensive and would take installments to pay off and b) you have to pass the bar exam to get into law school. Not only do they not know life, they also don't know the show's canon. Even though the educational canon doesn't work properly, LSAT is named specifically. I am assuming the vegetable facts are correct, though.

This is why 13-year-olds should probably stick to writing My Little Pony fanfics.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
How to Google and Not Suck At It should be, like, 5th grade curriculum.
