timepiececlockI know everyone and their sister knows about this by now, but... DUDE...
BEST.
WANK.
EVER.
The absolute bestest best.
One fic writer has the stupidity and audacity to ask for payment for fanfiction... and all of tv ficdom jumps on her throat.
That's solidarity, my friends. Who knew this is what it would take to make us all agree on something?
Though we be different, though we have wars great and small, though we ridicule one another and make stupid icons about it, when one of us decides toleave the coven betray the pack turn away from the teachings of all fic traditions lose sight of the mission make money off illegal copywrited property...
...We are as one.
::sings:: WE! ARE! FAMILY!
And as they say in Gungrave and the Godfather films... you don't. betray. the. family.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA!
EDIT: on a more personal note-- well, acutally, I don't have a personal note. I didn't know cousinjean, though I do remember thinking her fic was pretty enjoyable and it's entirely probable I might have exchanged LJ comments with her at some point when I was more active in BTVS fandom. I don't think she's a bad person, but this is one instance where I am going to take all the pleasure possible and laugh at someone's pain. And fandom's pain. And all the pain. Because today I am just that shallow, and this is just that funny, and I thank my lucky stars I don't put that much emotional stock into much of ANYTHING I do online, because if I did, I'd have to take this all seriously.
In the end, we will all float on.
In the rain gutter. With Pennywise the Clown.
Goodnight!

Um. Ahem. I'll be over here. In the corner. Laughing for about FIVE years.

Name's Amanda, bytheby.

Date: 2005-08-11 08:14 pm (UTC)I thought about being snippy, but really, this is my journal and if it's a problem I can always delete or ban you from it, and you don't know me enough anyway to really understand the shallow joke or for me to take offense at you calling me it, so what do I care?
Well, hello Amanda. I don't promise to be civil every day of the week, and having followed your link to your LJ I can say I disagree with you on this whole issue and that plus your previous comment isn't really endearing me to you, but if that's the extent of your desire to take out your frustration on others and as long as you're not snippy to the other commentors on my journal, I'm not going to yell at you. I left this post public and that means varying opinions will arise.
