    Adding A Tiping Fuction To The Site

    Crypto is stupid. I don't care how much people make off it. Still stupid. You know full well they will rubber hose the problem. "Can't track the signal" will end in "We are in your home; we have a gun on you. How clever do you feel right now, one to ten?" (Weirdly enough this is politics...

    Adding A Tiping Fuction To The Site

    Could also be someone who wants the site restricted, but that's me interpreting it through a malice lens. Note the message count. I will admit, someone coming into a message board and saying "Hey, set up a payment processing system" is wild. Like yeah, sure, should only take five minutes. Oh...

    I keep falling out of reader mode.

    Discussion is the source of wit, but sometimes I don't have time for it. Sometimes when I hit reader mode, I still get the discussion after chapters. What's up with that? Generally, on desktop, mobile honestly behaves itself better. Same time, sometimes I don't want the discussion, just the...

    Star Trek The Next Generation The Gift: A Star Trek SI

    It's an unparallelled view. Even Kirk was impressed with it. And it's not like he needs THAT apartment, there were similar jetson style towers in the sightline. LOL, I was trying to find a video of the layout because that curved fireplace is wild, but instead I got a video essay that argues...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Just a heads up, that is both generous and how authors who want to do that should do that. Over on TTH, they did not like posthumous "do as thou wilt" permission slips, but they do respect it. I haven't read your fic, might yet, but same time, super generous consent policy. kickass. Rock and Roll.

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Yeah, I don't think they'd say turncoat if they aren't angry. I was once accidentally a beta reviewer without knowing what one was. Author just offered to send me early chapters and to tell them how I felt about it. I kind of cringe now because my opinion was worth jack and spit at the time...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Fanfic is by default a gray matter. We're not supposed to do it by legal beagle standards but when we're careful they don't wreck the place. Like I don't agree with Martin's position that fanfiction is illegal and should not be permitted. He's cribbed his damn self and claiming his works are...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    I have disliked the way some of your stories have gone but I absolutely respect your right to remove or reformulate them at your pleasure. If you did decide a story was either embarrassing, or just shit, that's down to you, not the audience. Thank you for helping me refine my views on this issue.

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    I can't speak for QQ, but generally what I've found is if you have a favorite fic and ask for the chapters, people will generally shoot that off to you in an email. If you try to republish it yourself, well, you're not going to make friends. It's treated like the basest form of plagiarism, even...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Oh, apologies, I absolutely did not mean to argue that from a legal standpoint, I just think when your agent says "Put the fanfic in the acid bath" most authors simply comply to keep the road smooth. I've lost favorite fanfics that way. Sometimes the authors even apologize!

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Aside from Piracy, I think "take down your fanfic" is less a request from agents and more a "do it now" command.

    Seeing the Post You Were Warned For

    RTS button recommended. Means you acknowledge you've seen the warning while not necessarily agreeing to it. Big Lee Adama "It means I heard you" energy. I've signed writeups with "RTS" and when told I "Couldn't do that" I replied that I just did. Hey Kylia, dig your shit, you kind of veered...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Still Never? Like I'd respect it, but instead of being a scarred up raisin of a man our Governor could be a galaxy class hedonist. Like I can respect if that's not the way you want to go, but when I see "Gen" or "No relationships" I tend to view fics a bit like a disposable cardboard box.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    The Exile's ability was much darker than a simple soul leech. The Exile gained EXPERIENCE POINTS! And that made the honestly very dark jedi council turn on them hard. And their turn was their downfall. Kriea laughs with evil joy.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Why do I have this horrible feeling that the pureblood Sith will inflict force sensitivity on our poor governor, simply to spite his cat? Like "Huh, Obi-wan is dead, his midchlorians should go somewhere. Meanwhile, our protagonist: NO OH GOD NO Meanwhile, Mugwuffin; MY BBQ SNACKS, YOU MONSTER...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Grant: I have a pitch! Inquisitus. Dayspa. Las: "How do I spin this?" I fear that our dark side spa would deplete quickly, leaving our guests disappointed. Perhaps a travel program with you and seventh brother? Grant: YOINK Las: Oh thank every deity possible. Now they're someone elses...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Luke reformats the mouthy R2 unit. Emperor: Your lack of ambition disgusts me, but your redesigned sandwich oven pleases me. Congratulations, Moff. (It's a foreman grill with a power cell)

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    One of the deadliest tools in Agent 47's arsenal, and there is no penalty for it's use. People are already rocking the padd's like pip boys, an Omnitool might honestly be overkill.
