That's so cool.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, the buying a shoutout is so very cool.

What is even happening?
It is. But it also kind of makes me want to make an icon that states, "My fandom gets shout outs for free".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What about an icon that says "My fandom isn't doing anything about the 1st amendment?"
I mean ... it is for charity, after all. I like my shoutout, and I'm never giving it back, but one that's involved with a good cause is hella cool.
Not that there aren't other fandoms doing charity stuff (hello, Allyson), but still. It's not a mercenary effort, and I think the donation is more important than the mention.
It's nifty to see them together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ian Rankin does the charity shout-out thing a lot, too.

What ita said.
Also, speaking just for me, I don't expect to build a relationship with anyone I'm a fan of to the point where they'd use my name. Having $500 to buy a shoutout is more realistic, especially if the money's going to a good cause. (I don't have the $500 right now anyhow, but that's neither here nor there.)

I'm really sorry that in all my time here, I have failed to present myself in such a way that it would be a given I would think it was terrific to be supporting a cause like this--in such a way that it would be clear I was simply making a wisecrack.
