Thanks for all the fish.

What? It's going to be delayed?

And this after my season one discs (disc 3, episode 19) turn out to be corrupted and I have to return it.

Sigh. And I've been mostly enjoying it very much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, the Fandom Scruples community was vaguely amusing at first, but now they're pissing me off.

Jesus fucking christ.

That is a scary person, there. As far as I know, COPA has been pretty much laughed at by the courts, but ... eeeeesh.

Who *are* these people?

And there really shouldn't be fan sites that are making a profit anyway, right? Because of copyright issues.

Art Crawl!!!

Whoa -- that's mindboggling.

Who are these people?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Whoa. Yeah, scary, and pissing me off, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. Who's on their list?

The "Black List", as far as I know, largely targets the HP fandom and is here. Notice that A.J. Hall is on it.

A.J. Hall. I can't remember anything of hers that I read that was explicit.

But the profit might not be from the fanfic -- it could be, say, an archive site that runs ads. I think that would probably qualify the site as commercial, even if the fic was free.

Who's on their list?

Mostly Harry Potter authors, it seems.

Ahh...

And they are talking about locking down fic. I take it that means that a 'don't go here if you are underage' is good enough.

They also seem to think that they are the arbiters of what is okay for kids to read.
