All my life I have been a reader, since I can remember I searched for books, my mom, my father, my grandma, aunts, libraries, they gave me the chance to find amazing stories and live life in different places, times and bodies!!

For the past 18 or some years, fanfiction has been a survival tool for me, from so many authors and the different kind of fandoms!!

I started mostly with anime, like Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, Saint Seiya, Macross, Slayers and comics, mostly Batman and Wonder Woman!!

Then came the books, TV and movies, Lord of the Rings, hmm Legolas!! Harry Potter, Star Wars, total Anakin fan!! Labyrinth, Pride and Prejudice, Dune, Irulan related ones, the Phantom of the Opera, Smallville, oh Chlark, how did you made me suffer!!, Days of our Lives, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Chronicles of Narnia, I truly love Susan Pevensie, The Tudors, 'cause I’m a huge Anne Boleyn fan, Buffy, and I like Willow better!!

And then, the ones I read now, some stuff I never considered before, except the one canon couple I liked in X-1999, slash fanfiction!! Avengers, Merlin, Supernatural, they opened a new space for me, ‘cause I never even thought about it!!

All the stories I read where either of het couples I liked, canon or not and general stories about friendship and family and all, and then slash came and wow, the stories are amazing!!!

This showed me parts of life I had no idea existed and it has, I hope, help me grow up as a person, so thank you all of you, who have been writing stories that we can enjoy, that helps us think and change and evolve!!

Tons of hugs!!! Be well, Monica

May the fourth by irnan

Summary: So there's this project Tony has been working on since he was ten years old which is only marginally less awesome than the specs for the TARDIS he totally could have built if Fury would've just let him had the Tesseract for a couple hours longer.

I got this from

medie

I have also been getting replies that are links to videos.

They seemed weird and like spam so I didn't click them. Turns out, that's a smart move. Someone (I forget who, but that is because of my achy head and rest assured you are a computer saving genius!) linked to this explanation last night.

In short, the link goes to youtube, yes, but the link itself apparently contains a rootkit virus that is a nasty, nasty bugger.

In short, report the usernames, delete the comments, but above all, don't click the links. I submitted a support request and checked out other ones relating to this. One has a LJ reply which mentions a new wave of spammers, but says nothing about a virus.

So better safe than sorry!

I just read about everything that happened in the cinema in Colorado. I can't believe someone would do something like that to people that are just having a good time.

Also the fact that this person booby-trapped his apartment, planned everything and was hoping to kill even more people with this, my head just can't deal with this kind of crazy and disregard of other people lives :(.

The information I got was from here

http://gma.yahoo.com/colorado-batman-movie-shooting-suspect-phd-student-085940589--abc-news-topstories.html

My heart goes to the people that survived and loss their loves ones and my prayers are with the ones that died and their families. A really sad day.

Seriously. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WORLD.

"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."

The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.

No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.

Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

This is for all the Buffy and Harry Potter authors on my friends list. The original post talks about Buffy and Doctor Who, but when I followed the link, I saw that Harry Potter fandom is affected as well. I don't personally use fanfiction.net, but I know that some of you do.

Just a heads-up about fanfiction.net for those who might be interested.

http://ffdotnetrants.livejournal.com/134901.html

If these numbers are correct, fanfiction.net just deleted roughly 12% of all Buffy and Doctor Who fic on there with no warning, no chance for writers to correct the perceived problems, and with temporary bans for those who get their stories deleted. Going by some comments I've seen, most have been removed either for using non-grade-school-friendly words in their summaries or for including "love scenes" that aren't considered "tasteful" (their words), but that's not the only thing they go by; one fic was apparently removed for including the word "killed" in its summary. One or two people have reported having their stories reinstated after mailing support, others have gotten rude replies that basically boil down to "RTFM, STFU." Personally I haven't gotten any reply at all after three days.

It might also be interesting to note that ff.net have blocked the possibility to export fics to AO3.

If you want to back up your ff.net stories and reviews, Storymaster seems to work pretty well.

CISPA would give the government and corporations vast new powers to track and share data about Americans’ Internet use.

But our hundreds of thousands of emails and tens of thousands of phone calls have had a real impact:

Amendments were adopted that made CISPA (marginally) better.

Earlier this month CISPA was supposed to sail through, but we helped foment opposition, and the vote was far closer than anybody could have imagined even a couple of weeks ago.

Most Democrats held firm in opposition, and more than two dozen libertarian-leaning Republicans defied their leadership and voted no.

Most importantly, President Obama has threatened to veto CISPA.

***Additionally, CISPA would destabilize the internet inviting cyber attacks and increasing the amount of identity theft.***

The Senate will consider cyber security legislation in the coming weeks. Let’s turn up the heat right away: Tell the Senate to reject CISPA and any and all legislation that doesn’t respect privacy and civil liberties.
Add your name at right to tell the Senate to reject cyber security legislation that doesn’t respect privacy.

We at Legendary Women are dedicating the month of April to Buffy Summers and the women of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. We'll be unveiling fresh content every week, including exclusive interviews with Buffy novelist Nancy Holder and long-time Buffy writer and producer Jane Espenson, currently working on Once Upon a Time.

For now, Margaret Bates kicks us off Buffy style with Season One From The Feminist Perspective.

Bates also had a chat with The Bitch Pack about how this year's Oscar winners measured up on the pro-woman scale using The Bechdel Test on The Bitch List. Don't know what any of those are? You will when you read this thought-provoking interview here.

And we announce the winners of our Anne Boleyn give-away here and our latest raffle item for Buffy Month:

So come on over! And feel free to comment and share!

The Bechdel test just blew my mind and had me trying it on as many things as I could think of.

Really interesting stuff, you guys! Please share around.

I'm seeing variations of this all over my flist and damn, it does not look good. I'm not sure what will be happening in Canada, but I wouldn't be surprised if we soon follow the US lead.

For the record, I'm far more worried about the constant surveillance and the record being kept of everywhere I go online than I am about getting caught taking copy written stuff.

If you are going to do this, you need to do it before March 1st. It has been said that users will not be able to do anything about this after that date.

With reference to Google's policy changes and how everything you do with your Google account will be tied together into their super-cauldron of information, you will probably want to clear your Google Web History out - if you turned that feature on - before month's end. After that, you won't be able to clear it, and everything you search for will be connected with your account.

To check settings and/or clear out your Web History:

1. Go to Google. If you aren't signed in already, do so.
2. In the top right-hand corner you'll find your email address or name, perhaps an icon if you have a Plus account, and a little downward facing arrow. Click on the arrow and a menu will pop up.
3. Click to 'Account Settings'. This will take you to a page called 'Accounts'. (If you have a Plus account, you might go via a Plus sign-in page.)
4. Scroll down to a section called 'Services'. Here you'll find an option called 'View, enable, or disable web history', which has a link next to it. Click on the link.
5. If you never turned web history on, you'll get a page asking if you want to turn this service on. Just click 'No Thanks' and all is good. If you did turn it on, you should have a list of your searches. At the top there is a button that says 'Remove All History'. Click this and follow the instructions which will remove all items from your Web History and pause the feature so nothing else will be added in future.

Also, you can completely remove Web History as a service from your account by clicking THIS LINK, checking the tick-box and confirming you want to remove Web History. To be safe, it is probably best to do the steps above first to remove any history that might have already been collected.
