help_haiti: My lightning round offer for ficlets.
ETA: And an 'Oxford in a box' offer as well ( Read more... )

I am very glad to have finished the Dystopia-fic, even if I don't like it anymore. There's only so many times you can kill people before it starts to affect you. We end up in the eternal question of: am I miserable because of what I write, or do I write what I write because I'm miserable ( Read more... )

- It's weird, nearly being at the end of what was a really big fandom for me. I'm not gonna get the book until tomorrow mid-morning, which is sad, and I had wanted to go and do the midnight thing, but my friend who would have done it with me can't go.

So, this is my random point I want to raise.

It isn't a constitutional one (for those of you in US), and it isn't a HRA one (for those of us in the UK), because this isn't a government action. Really all we have from a legal standpoint is a potential breach of contract for the people ( Read more... )

I was working, okay? Sensible EC Law revision for tomorrow. I took a quick break to check LJ, and the world is falling down around us. Really, between the MJ statue/Heroes for Hire misogyny kerfuffle, and metafandom being all FanLib all the time...

And now this latest - LJ accounts getting suspended because of things listed in their interests. So far seems ( Read more... )
