Okay, so I live-blogged the Vancouver Olympics Opening Ceremonies, only I haven't cleaned up the post and published due to both the subsequent Olympics coverage eating my life (despite said coverage by NBC sucking unwashed ass) and engaging in my official pastime of procrastinating via World of Warcraft. I plan to get the publishing done today, ( Read more... )

Just posting this before I head off to bed, because I happen to be feeding this particular troll:

Over on ohnotheydidnt, reactions are taking place to the breaking news concerning the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother, et al. (For which, I have no words. I'm no particular fan of Jennifer's but I feel absolutely horrible for her.) Enter la_bellaviidaxo with the ( Read more... )

So someone just anonymously left me a comment (hi if you're reading this!) to my May 20 post wherein I discovered that someone had plagiarized my Titanic paper, and that prompted me to look up this chick again to see how all that turned out. I never heard anything back from the head of her department after they e-mailed me saying they would ( Read more... )

I'm, um, slightly shocked. I just found a plagiarization of my paper "The Impact Of The Titanic Upon International Maritime Law" on Fictionpress.com.

Here's mine, as published on Encyclopedia Titanica (my proudest achievement ever):
Impact of Titanic Upon International Maritime Law

Here's the rip-off:
The Titanic: Her Affect on the Maritime ( Read more... )

So that Badfic Hall of Shame author on Teaspoon replied to my review. This is what we both said.

I would suggest writing for the sake of writing, instead of writing in hopes of getting your ego fluffed. I would also advise you not to make yourself a character in your own stories. This type of character is what is known as a "Mary Sue", and they ( Read more... )

Oh my God. Check out this story summary I found at A Teaspoon And An Open Mind:

The day I met the Doctor, I realized the dream from the night before had been one of THOSE dreams; the ones which made no sense until everything in them started to happen. *note: i have only had 30 people read this, and i don't mind, but, since it isn't getting the ( Read more... )
