	Seems to be down. Could just be server problems, or maybe she stormed off in a huff. I'm betting she did get some feedback from people about that little wank of hers. ;) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The best part was the library employee's story of the patrons who couldn't quite handle the naked women in the art books. And it's all told with bendy animal figurienes. Pure genius (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Go here (http://web.archive.org/web//http://www.leisuretown.com/). Some of the longer strips are a bit spotty (missing pages), but the short ones remain pure and unexpurgated (to my knowledge). I had the disk space...why didn`t I save Q&A Confidential? weeps* (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh my goodness. At least at the time I type this, it IS available. Check for yourself, use the search function here: http://www.powerpipe.com If it wasn't for the fact that she keeps her lawyers hyped up on raw meat, I'd be SO tempted to snap it up... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	To quote Mac Hall: "Well cut me in half and call me a munchkin, 'cause ding-dong, the witch is dead!" I wonder how long it'll take the pornbots to snap it up... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

...it will take a couple of months. You see, when a domain goes unrenewed, there is actually several weeks of grace period where it is in limbo and the original owner can still register it before it is snatched up. However, I encourage anyone who isn't afraid of lawyers to try to backorder it and see if they can get it. The thing is though... if that happens, she can sue the pants off whoever grabs it. She doesn't allow fanfic, she sure as shootin' ain't going to let anyone get away with snatching her name.

	Yeah, you'd lose; famous names are considered similar to trademarks by the domain registry folks. Who knows, she may have a trademark on her name anyway, although if her People can't even manage to keep her domain name registration current, I wouldn't think too highly of their ability to register a trademark.

	http://www.annerice.com/ is back up - or at least, it looks that way. I've never been there before so I wouldn't know if anything was removed... but I got to an orange/brown page (flash) with a rotationg circle around a tan disk inviting me to click to enter the world of Anne Rice...

	AGGGHHHH!!! Looks like the One Rice wasn't cast into the Fires of Fanfiction.net the way she should've been. The Evil is still walking the earth. ...now I know how Elrond must've felt... Ah well, it was nice to see the site gone and the domain name up for grabs while it lasted. ^_^ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm actually sort of interested to see what's there when the site gets inevitably resurrected. If it has been pulled in some kind of diva-strop, you can guarantee the new incarnation will be funny as hell. (Reply to this)

	I for one am happy the site is back up. Ya know why? C'mon, you all gotta know why! I can MST her again... Actually, is it so wrong that I really enjoy MSTing the Exulted Anne Rice? Will be doing Anne McCaffey soon. Just need to find the time. Things have been busy in Fandom Bitchland. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Let's count the number of times we find the words "Anne Rice" on that flash-er-iffic front page. #1. Anne Rice on title bar. #2. Anne Rice in flashy flowy script. #3. Anne Rice circling flashy flowy script. #4. Anne Rice mentioned in "Violin for Anne Rice." Betcha didn't know Tchaikovsky wrote that for her! Obsess much? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	#4. Anne Rice mentioned in "Violin for Anne Rice." Betcha didn't know Tchaikovsky wrote that for her! I was just about to mention that. I got a good snark out of it when I saw it on the new page. I really like how she has a whole album composed for just for her. Did you know the sun rises for her too? BE IN AWE. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

*is in awe* I think I'll go buy some of her brainscan t-shirts and other me me me me me me me crap. Or not. That entire site screams "I'M ANNE RICE!!!!" Yes, Anne, we know, and you once were a writer but now you produce Mary Sue-meets-surrealism crap that only the most diehard of your fans can stomach. And I'll make a bet even they can't understand half of what you're saying.
