How long does lj keep stuff
Forever, in theory.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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

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
RE Yuletide, I have also decided that astolat and tzikeh are saints. Good God.

Heh. Reading the comments?

To the post about how to handle the no-show problem, yeah. Good Lord. If you don't like how they're running it, make your own, doofus!

We need a name for this school of philosophy. I'd like to call it "The Internet's Not a Democracy, Asswipes," but it seems a little wordy.

Hee. Catchy, though.

I like to say that I run a benevolent tyranny. ("Don't taunt the happy fun autocrat!")
I do think that people who join online fandom should be issued little cards that say something like:
"Point the first: you have no First Amendment rights on privately-owned Internet sites, which means that the archivists and moderators can take their toys and go home. Yes, really. No, I'm not kidding. You're free to go put up your own site to express your shock and disbelief, OMG NOES!!!!1!
"Point the second: on the internets, you are entitled to nothing, not life, not liberty, nor the pursuit of happy Snape mpreg. The internets are not designed for your comfort. Woe. Take a moment to mourn, and then get over yourself.
"Point the third: read.the.fucking.FAQ. READ. IT. NOW. If you don't understand, ask questions. Preferably before the.fucking.deadline.
Point the fourth: bitch not incessantly in public, lest ye be prepared to take on coding and organizational duties yourself. Best hope ye know Perl, that ye don't require sleep, and that ye have the patience to deal with stuff what make the baby Jesus weep."
I... need more coffee.

This is often the part that kills me. "But I didn't know..." The hell? It was posted nine times in the Livejournal, twice in e-mails you received, and the address for questions is practically pasted in sticky notes all over the website.

People? Stupid.
I'm so in love with my new Eddie Izzard icon that says that. K is the bestest.
