Issue #64
Meta
boomshadow: Mary Sues and Gary Stus in Various Continuities: "[T[his short guide should help you identify a Mary Sue or Gary Stu character in your favorite fictional universe ..."
[QaF] xie_xie_xie: Hungry!Justin: "But when I use it in a story, Justin's appetite is really a metaphor rather than simply a characterization point. And I think it was in the series, too [...] food, hunger, eating and not eating, preparing food, and offering food are all very strong themes for Brian, Justin, and Brian/Justin not just in Season One but in all five seasons."
metametameta's Thursday prompts are about IP Law. JK Rowling's HP Lexicon suit has been the topic du jour, with slashpine commenting on an AP article and doing a link roundup.
InsaneJournal
No doubt prompted by the recent outage, skuf worried about the future financing of IJ (context) and later linked to synecdochic's LiveJournal post on the topic, where squeaky weighed in via OpenID.
Several polls:
squeaky asks for your opinion on the move to a different hosting provider here.
aristoboule asked if, and why, you have paid or permanent accounts (on IJ and elsewhere).
Follow-up to this post: a poll on people's preferences for off-site IJ refuge communities, here.
(Also: Happy birthday, squeaky! Have a great day!)
