Oh, what a day.

Quickly:

Been reading up on the Strikethrough'07. I'm considering not renewing my paid account when it comes time, but I'm not leaving lj or f-locking any fic. However, I will hold LJ to account for their actions in this.

If yours is a writing journal, go and join fandom_counts.

ETA: The seven day response. I like this.

And to all the many people who have joined my f-list in the last few weeks, welcome! What brought you to these sunny shores?

Vulgarweed's (http://vulgarweed.livejournal.com/196704.html) passed on a public-service announcement about the yahoos behind this:

1) Don't visit their website -- or if you do, copy and paste the URL into a clean browser (might be best to go visit them via Anonymizer.com, if visit them you must). They do trackbacks AND dump spyware.

2) They are racist Dominionist nutbars.

Yeah, I know. To all those points.

The whole thing is just SO DUM. Sure puts that whole fanlib thing in perspective.

(Okay, except they're totally different things, but it's just been a bad week to be in fandom.)

I've been following this for two days now, and it's crazy. I hope 6A starts doing something soon. As for the 7 Day Response, I like it too. Aja is one smart cookie, I tell you that.

In other news, hi! How's life been going? Work still crazy busy?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I want 6A to *say something* to the users. So far, there's been a comment to the media, but none to the paying customers. That's a sure-fire way to lose above-mentioned paying customers.

Oh god, work's stupid crazy. Still no end in sight, but I had a workshop today on... well, stuff, and I need to set up a meeting with the head boss guy and tell him that no, things are not Doing Well in the "getting stuff done" department. He's a good guy, he'll understand.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

It really is. Customers finding things out from the media instead of from the source? Not the best thing ever.

Good luck with the meeting, and I'm sure getting stuff done will happen soon =)

i think this is completely crazy and uncool. i have joined fandom counts and added free speech to my interest list. i've always been interested in it, and now its the fandoms turn to make our voices heard.

the seven day response thing is golden, thanks for pointing it out.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Ooh, good interest choice. I added that too, and fandom counts is so cool! I love to be in a group of creative peeps.

Anytime :)

I've only recently come back to lj due to family and health matters and with all that's going on I'm not absolutely sure I wish I had *sigh* it's just crazy.

I joined your list because of your writing I hope you don't mind.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Its amazing how all this stuff seems to hit fandom all at once.

And of course I don't mind! Posting fic on this vast emptiness that is the internet is always a lonely venture, and I'm always cheered to no end when someone wants to keep up with my rambles :)

In the midst of all the turmoil, I have delurked and joined the fray.My very own journal went up yesterday mainly as a way to tell the authors I love how much and not get locked out. As, you are one of my favorites, I have added you as friend. You made me crave GG/SPN crossovers - Thank you!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Delurking FTW! I'm glad you enjoyed those GG/SPN crossovers -- they have a lot of possibilities, considering they can both exist together without any ret-con (unlike, say, BtVS and SPN with the vampire lore)
