Oh those wacky 70's.....
Fear ME! I have learned, thanks to Syndarys, how easy blends are to create. Plus I am madly creating my own HP icons. Yep, fear me!
I should have been working on CGs shirt design but I just don't feel like it, you know? It's almost done anyway. Instead I watched War Games. I still loved that movie. I had a real crush on Professor Falken. Seriously. Behold my new WG icons. Linked to be kind.
Okay I admit it, I really was googling for a picture of David Cassidy, sue me, how was I to know he had an official site, after seeing a Partrige family introspective the other day. Any way, I found this site which is just too cute. I especially love her diary. For the life of me though I don't remember the DeFranco family? I do however so remember recording, on a tape recorder, that Keane brothers summer show, see the teen idols section. I am surprised she doesn't list Emergency! though. I remember doing a school project on Randolph Mantooth in, I guess, about 2nd or 3rd grade. Jeanne dempsey and I did it together, he was 'The Man you admire most in the world'. Lord I just googled that too! Are there ever a lot of Emergency! sites out there. Hello! Googled Barry Manilow. I love Barry. I loved him at at 10 and still I adore him. Must make new icons. I wonder if there is a LJ community for him? Must check. Wish I had some Partrige family music.
So I was considering this whole buying fic thing. When I first heard about this a year or so back my thoughts were along the lines of 'pretentious much'. I mean obviously dude you'd be selling at 'Chapters' if you were good enough to get a book contract. But then I thought of all the crap (to me) that is put out there and the potential that we are only getting the crap and missing the good stuff. The more I pondered this the more I started to question what I was thinking. I mean obviously I like stories enough to print them out so I can read them any time not just when I am online. I actually am considering spending the money on an ebook so I can take all my fics with me in my pocket. I download tons of fics and save the ones I love to enjoy over and over. So why not pay for them the way I buy books, movies or music. I mean it's all about what choices I make for my entertainment isn't it?
I paid $10.99 for a truly crappy Stephen King novel a few months back, why not spent the same amount on a story I read and reread again and again, like say....A Most Accommodating Commodore, Full Moon, Men of Our Word or any of the other fics I adore and even save to zip drive for back up (better safe than sorry). If I am reading these rather then buying books why not pay for them if I can afford to do so?
I guess where it would become a problem is for the people that couldn't afford to pay and missed the fics. Maybe honour system would work? Pay if you can?

I totally stole all these pictures......and I'd like to know why it is I still think Cassidy looked fine!,
I am so totally not into the pretty boy thing.
