Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading.  AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher.   Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.

Rightfully so!  I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment.  Go away!

In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy.  As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it.  NO DICE.

Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders.  Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry.  Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.

Throw glitter on them.

They'd like that too much.

consider the sources and move on. It's how i keep my sanity...

That’s a tough one.

I vote for writing.  

New story, to help corral all those WIPs that are getting up to no good.

If you put a game controller on it, it would magically become visible.

you could feed a lot of Irish people with fifty pounds of potatoes

selective blindness this time...to avoid peeling 'em I expect.

I must have missed that Disney movie.

Does it have a dance number?

Dancing cars!

Why not? That show's amusing.

There's got to be some reason Charlie Sheen gets to keep his job.

LOL -- I meant more my reaction! I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

The show's well past the books now. So it wouldn't matter.

And diverged at a few points as well. But still...as far as the season finale? Holy Mother of Dragons, and all the Starks that be...

The finale blew me out of the water - never suspected that! Folks tell me it was a fan theory but I hadn't heard it

You can do this, my Witch. I have faith in you!  

fight the urge.  fuel is expensive

So many hate the fact that the perfection eludes them but they fail to consider the inverse nothing you write is <3 worthless. <3

I’m with BW! You got this!

Sorry to hear it, and I hope he's well soon. Did the referees get their fair share of pain yet too?

::huggles PW and Concussion Boy::

Can I help by stabbing someone? Anyone?

Cause you are crazy?

Insane - certifiable.

I could take some of those off your hands, since I've given up all hope of fitting into any of my holiday frocks...

Depends on the meat. You can always braise it on the stove!

Will your stovetop work? Chili, Soup, Stew?

Reservations!

...Fair is the lily of the valley...

... and the snow has melted so you can plant? Don't we wish!

Black is the rose that assassins leave on your doorstep...

Oh noes!

Dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm so mad at myself. I was actually ahead for the day too. Oh well, back to the grindstone.

In the words of philsopher and retired astronaut Homer Simpson, "D'oh"

D'oh! Hope it doesn't hurt too much at least.

Ouch, love! My new mantra is "Move slowly... the chores will still be waiting."

It only hurts when I stand on it, lol!

In that case I hope you're out enjoying the light of day ... instead of at the computer reading this reply.

Ooh, sorry.

But if it helps pass the time, I left a long-winded reply to your review on my flashfic. (Yeah, a reply thread for a flashfic may be a bit much.) http://www2.adultfanfiction.net/forum/index.php/topic/17574-a-slick-tradition-phineas-and-ferb-flashfic/

::places whiskey and chocolate within reach and backs away::

Casts glare around the room, steals whiskey and chocolate and scarfs it ALL! Mwahahahaha!

Fluff a pillow, then have milk and cookie...

Wow!! Might as well grow some poppy out back and be done with it, yeah?

I thought I was going to get to use the taser again! These people are NUTS.

Yeah, they are if they think that much opiate use is something that a doctor will condone. I understand about pain, but *damn*!

Sadly no. However! I hand you a large tumbler of brandy and a vat of the chocolate of your choice. Along with a 100% authentic Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Seriously, hun, I'm sorry to hear things aren't well

i have chocolate booze i'm willing to send your way. Will keep you in my thoughts, PW

I wish there was more I could offer than a very large cyberhug and all the support I can offer...

LOL! I can't believe they were that organized! These must be very amazing and detailed costumes...

Harem girls - couldn't find anything that was "baby" or hooker. We're (I) am modifying a catalog costume so they can flip in it. I may have prodded a little for an early decision.

LOL! I don't blame you. Last minute glue gun accidents can be gruesome.

I like when they have me go through what I've already done BEFORE calling them. It's gotten to the point if either of us calls for support, they actually bypass that part

When will companies learn to stop outsourcing call centres to New Jersey?

Fingers still crossed then, glad it werent bad

I'm crossing it all for you, dear PW!

The first one - well, let's just say I wasn't impressed with the 13 year old who interviewed me, lol. This one seemed to have their shit together anyway.

Murphy... blame him! *hugs*

Big hugs, Witch!

Find out the cause of your business partner's condition and kick it. Hard.

I've always preferred stooges.

Stogies? They might help too.

Send a stooge to fetch a stogie.

::crosses everything::

Yay! Much success. (and the best revenge of living well)

Go forth and get payed, dear pittwitch!

hahaha, I'll trade ya a sew for packing little plastic boxes...

AT this point, DG - I'll trade for little boxes just to look at something different.
