I will not flip out like a mammal and kill everyone. I will not.
I've spent, um, most of the day reading about fanlib. That probably wasn't the wisest move.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What's your take on the fanlib thing, Dana?
I mean, it's creeping me out, big time. But do you think they don't quite get it? It seems like they're almost purposefully tripping over every single rule of netiquette regarding fic and fandom, seriously.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I, meanwhile, am not allowed to beat the children. It's storming out, and I hope the power goes out so we can go home.
Yeah, Dana, that'll make a Monday worse. I was looking at the ads, and, well, they confuse me, and, as we all know, confusion leads to anger and anger leads to...um...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Colorado is one of the remaining states where you ARE allowed to beat the children. Just FYI.

I think it's a school rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I will not flip out like a mammal and kill everyone. I will not.
God, me neither.
I am seriously starting to regret my pledge to myself to come to work every work day in May.

I think they either don't understand how my particular segment of fandom works (predominantely female, mostly LJ-based, slash-friendly, community-oriented), or we were never their target audience to begin with.
After reading posts over at the official forum, I'll say that I don't think they're evil guys, and I do believe them when they say they're fans. But nothing I've seen from them -- posts from founders or employees, ads, FAQ, ToS -- absolutely nothing makes me want to involve myself with them, and I would discourage anyone I know from posting there.
This is completely aside from the gender issues involved, which are driving me fucking nuts.

Any interest in summing up, for those avoiding like the plague for fear of aneurysm and in favor of reading fic instead?
