I was a bit snippy. But legal at 20th doesn't care whether it falls under the statute or not-- they'll send a C&D if they feel their interests are being threatened, and they won't hesitate to file a complaint.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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

True this. See Buffy Cross & Stake, which got slapped with a C&D due to images AND spoilers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe the C&D will be to get us to stop calling that poor woman about the DVDs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe the C&D will be to get us to stop calling that poor woman about the DVDs.
Maybe it's time for a trade: "We'll be nice; jut give us the fucking DVDs."
Of course, lack of DVDs is the whole reason behind the alleged naughtyness in the first place.

There are 666 new posts for me in Minearverse. I'm not sure what that means, but I am scared. ijs.

Our wings are not tired
I've been seeing a trend lately with intellectual property issues to skip the C&D and jump right to filing a suit. It's happened to a few theatres over use of music.

And for the record, there was a listen'n'post 'cause Tim had another radio interview. And Tim himself showed up while he was on hold.

That's like mega-meta, or no, but like when you have a mirror in front of you and a mirror behind you and...wow. I'm dizzy, now. Or still. Or what have you.

I'm not sure if this has been debated before, so forgive me if it's old ground -- but I'm wondering if it would be possible to update or expand the glossary? I'm asking this without really knowing exactly what needs to be expanded -- things like "blipverts" for example? I suppose it would be a terrible pain in the butt to program it like the html/quick-edit pop up works, but that would certainly be helpful to newbies like myself. I've picked up a lot since I started posting, but I often have to ask irritating questions in the middle of conversations if I want to know what's going on. I'd much rather go look it up and not interrupt the flow of the conversation.
I think sometimes the language becomes such second-nature to long-time posters that they forget how confusing it can be. Anyway, no worries if the answer is "No, newbie! Lurk more! Use context clues!" Just thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

I'm working on it for the FAQ - but I can't say I have a huge list of words. And others will undoubtedly think of more than I. Anyone who wants to should send suggestions for ones they know or don't know that they think should be included (including definitions and Nilly'd origins if you know them/can find it). Profile addy, it is good.
I'l list them here when I get to the Dialect section of the FAQ.
Speaking of, and I'm just checking, Jon did you get my e w/the first round of updates?
