6:28PM - Yaoi House on Fire
http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/200
There was this Ai no Kusabi fanfic author named Kira Takenouchi, who eventually started up a company publishing original yaoi. She had subscribers and was publishing some authors, including print books. However, one day, she claimed to have found Jesus, and was going to abandon her company. People were upset, but some of the stockholders were going to carry on publishing.
However... One day Kira returned and claimed that her actions had been a result of mental illness. Now she's claiming that the authors she formerly published, who are understandably unwilling to stay with her company, are still under contract, and is legally threatening them.
So, in case you ever see Kira selling anything, be forewarned.
7:22PM - Stephenie Meyer the New JKR?
NPR recently did a story about the hype around Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, etc. No mention of Twilight Moms in this article, alas, but loads of teen girl squee, better-than-JKR comments, shipping, and our old favorite, the "My muse makes me hear voices! Which is not like schizophrenia at all!"
9:15PM - Have the sound on for this one
