How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I posted to PPO, so probably shouldn't also put it here....but, uh, I wrote some SV fic, posted to my LJ.

Yay! Deena, I'll check in the morrow.

Okay, re: JennyO. She's as spoiled as me, and hints get through in both of our shit, but unless we spell it out, you ain't gonna know it until you see it, because it's gonna be hella vague. Err. I think.

At least, what I've read of hers, which is everything pre-holiday, was hella could be read unspoiled. IJS.

That last story of hers I read is tremendously spoilery. I'm not touching anything else new of hers till after the season is over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hmm. Fansites go gray, May 19th.

Just read it. Yep. (About the story, not the grey day, which I am not certain how I feel about.)

Though a HEAPING ASSLOAD of speculation in it.

I'm not sure I get what that site's supposed to be about, Dana. What's special about 5/19?

Thrive to spite them

People are going to take down their sites on 5/19 as ...not really a protest but to make a point about all the various types of theft that are going on in fandom.

Bandwidth, clips from vids, photomanips, unauthorized distrubution of vids--including handing them out to actors of a show, but also putting them up on personal sites without permission or credit.

The big excuse that keeps coming up is "I didn't know it was wrong." Which is pissing people off.

As I have no idea how to take down my site without it being a buttload of hassle, I think I shall plead "I'm just a tiny blip on the radar, irrelevant to the larger thing, so just ignore me."

'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"

If your site has an index page that leads to the stories, you could just substitute one without links and a statement that you're supporting the effort that day.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Going gray would be a helluva lot easier with personal pages and sites, but doing that for a major archive? Or three? Not so much.

In fact, it would be pretty damn hellish.

And in an abrupt subject change, I've been tossing around the idea of starting a Velvet Goldmine fic archive since Lipstick Traces seems to have disappeared into the ether.

(And no, Dana this isn't merely a ploy to see if you're actually writing that essay. t g )
