I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

you have legions. Can't we flip out on the person in your stead?

There are some people who are sending messages to the tumblr in question, which makes me feel a bit better. But I still want to set someone on fire with my brain.

Also, yeah Jilli yeah! Sic one of us on 'em! This place is teeming with smart snarky people ready to defend you ably and itching to vent a little spleen. What could possibly go wrong?

Actually, does anyone of the Buffista legal hivemind work with IP law at all? I'm trying to figure out if/when I'll need to let my publisher know what's going on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, I kind of get the feeling Lee's talking less about three seconds of screaming followed by Lee chasing the mom out to the parking lot to scold her than about a whole lot of screaming accompanied by a mom who was determined to sit and have her whole brunch come hell or high water or eardrum-shattering shrieks.

It was worse than that, even. She seemed to think it was funny, even the 18th time the kid screeched.

Are we talking libel, or copyright infringement?

Copyright. Someone writing advice to goths on a gothy-type blog, and using wording that is ... eerily similar to my writing style. Not to mention the gothy-type blog underwent a makeover a few months ago and is now pink & black striped, with bats.

Oooh, bad, BAD parenting.

Well, this is what you have publishers and agents for. Let them know: at the very least you've got someone trying to be confused for you.

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

Someone used the term "zerg rush" and I didn't really know what it meant, so I googled it...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Must stop scratching mosquito bites. (I have several on one arm, and none anywhere else. I've seen some mosquitos flying around. )

Dang, Jilli. You are so cool!
