Ellora's Cave is one big no, for oh so many reasons; editorial problems, covers at the last minute that don't denote the content of the story - I bet they'd put white people up for my black characters. And freak out if someone was blue and furry.
So no. No no no and also no.
Do you hear me self? We say no.

So GJ's done, finished, gone. They say they're broke and they're not gonna try and fix it - move to iJay, Squeaky gives an actual flying fuck.
I'm a tiny bit freaked out. All those celeb rpers with their icons...
The thought of rpg_ads on iJay just makes me scream.
Worst though is the fact that my life had been kind of ordered. I'd left GJ and in a sense left certain people there. And now they'll be here. And yeah they could have been reading me all along, it's not like I'm flocked. But there's a huge difference in knowing they were in their circles over there and I was on LJ and knowing that now we're both on iJay.
Also it makes me wonder how iJay will turn out. Greatestjournal culture was NOT Livejournal culture. I was hoping iJay would lean more towards LJ culture.
And has anyone spotted an original iJayer? This site was going on for 6 yrs, they have to exist.
I'm also staring at my budget and pondering if I need a permanent account other than for my personal journal.
Oh! And wondering at what point Squeaky will close PA purchases or raise the price. (Either way first hint I see, and I get one for Fickle and she can pay me back when she can)
Arrghhh.
(in other news, my cat just shocked me so hard, my lips tingling and bleeding - oh we make sparks together, she and I - so much for kissing mommy on the chin)
PS: LJ's was hating on my use of openid earlier.

There is a douche-bag, a cockroach sucking, maggot masturbating, baby hitting, mouth frothing piece of shit eater individual, who has been plagiarizing a dead woman's words.
Meet livejournal user boyan_fraser, His journal is all flocked up now, but click here for links to saved pages and screencaps of him humping on livejournal user Thamiris' dead body and moving her ecorpse around to do his bidding.
Yes, that's right, it's more than just a case of some asswipe snot encrusted illiterate stealing someone else's fic. This piece of bacterium filled sperm wastage lifted journal entries and surfed comments so he could copy and paste and seem erudite.
Ecorpse molestation and manipulation.
Stealing a dead woman's words and her record of her life in order to make himself seem popular, witty and academic.
Stealing a dead woman's words and re-using her words on the very medium where her popularity flamed! It's not like he did this on GJ or ijay (though I suggest we all keep a sharp look out), he did this on LIVEJOURNAL, where Thamiris has a permanent account to preserve her memory for her friends and fans.
Even the name of his journal is copied. Thamiris' Glossolalia - Bryan's Glossolalia.
Unfortunately Livejournal is claiming only a family member can actively pursue charges of plagiarism against Bryan and Thamiris kept her fannish life and her real life rather separate. But I think there has to be something people can do, somehow.
I only interacted with Thamiris very briefly when I first came into fandom and onto livejournal, but my memories of her while occasionally filled with slight annoyance are also of a certain level of awe and the smack in the face realization that there were people geeky like me; they existed, they thought too much about things.
I shocked into being unable to describe how I feel. I really wish I could prevent the breathing smegma from connecting to the internet at all. He had the audacity to describe himself as a want-to-be-writer ; no wait, that's not audacity, that's truth. He is a wannabe. Real writers write, regardless of accolades or a following. Real writers don't need to copy and paste someone else's every thought (profile, journal entries, comments, fic) in order to interact in the world.
ETA: There needs to be a way to organize an online shunning.
ETA: I take it back, I want him off the net all together - He claims to have received special instructions that he can't share with anyone from Thamiris herself. Yes, that's right folks, he's a special friend no one has ever heard of - and he was supposed to be copying her words without credit, according to said special instructions.
