Let us sound the alarm
Let a warning rage
Before it's gone.
I wish it had ended differently. |

It's probably a bad thing that I have to stop laughing when I read Poly's flist and see a post that seriously says "NOOOOOOO", isn't it.
Blood curse = angst. I'm refraining from cursing Gabe, but I might have Dmitri muse on the concept. (Gonna have Jon wax poetic instead, he seems to want to) Either way, he's never killed anyone ever, so he'd probably be all, "am I uncursed or just awesome?" And I'm definitely having Jon mini!Panic. "Ohgodwtf--...oh. Ohhh. Cute. Okay. Whatever."
Stupid Heroes pups getting a million and one tags. Not that I count by tags, sometimes it's just morons going 1/8!? 2/8?! 3/8?! Etc.
Wow, I just spent half an hour on that entry. XD Jon started talking and didn't stop. :3 Minor tag in there to Eddie, but it doesn't need to be addressed as a matter of urgency or anything.
I should get to class soonish, probably. I was gonna print out some crap, but I can't be bothered to get up and walk all the way there. When he asks in class, I'll just figure it out from there.Feeling Like:  creative Listening To: Mesh - What Are You Scared Of? |

A rant, preserved for posterity.
I'd kill to have actual fanfic from the dawn of the internet--The very first slash. The very first published fanfic was 1800-something; Pride and Prejudice serials, released after the original novel's fantastic success. 'Course, back then there was no such thing as copyright protection, or at least not insofar as we understand it now. You had to get actual copyrights, specifically, on the work itself, and it didn't apply to "derivative works", which is basically what fic is. Today's authors are spoiled. If they went and took a big old poop on a typewriter, their fantastic creative efforts, all derivative works and everything--except parody--would be protected, especially if it "threatened the sale" of said poop. Parody's had protection since the dawn of time, though, thank god. Honestly though, think about this; everything everyone writes, ever, is plagiarized from nature. You can't point to a single thing--even sprawling fantasy epics--that haven't been endlessly ripped off something else. D&D stole from Tolkien. Tolkien stole from German operas. The operas stole from Norse mythology. The Norsemen? Stole from nature.
Human ideas and concepts are the intellectual property of humankind as a whole, en masse.Feeling Like: artistic |
