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.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

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 )

Up with the sun
Is there a specific notorious theft case that's inspiring all of this? I've always heard buzzings about it, but it seems to be a Big Issue on LJ and elsewhere right now.

Well the most recent incident I'm aware was in FF fandom. Some people went to see NF's new pilot tape and they gave him copies of some FF vids. They also made a copy that they planned to drop off at ME for Joss. They didn't ask the vidders permission before doing so, despite it being suggested to them by a third party.
