2:57am: FF.net strikes again
December 13th, 2003 -- The chapter system is not to be used as placeholder for non-story content such as author notes. You can add short author notes to the beginning or at the end of stories but never as individual chapters.

The above clarification of existing guidelines is effective immediately for all entries. We recommend all writers to review their entries to and make the appropriate changes when necessary. There will be a 10 day grace period before the site actively enforces the rule.

And the noose tightens a little more.

Edit: I should have made clear why I was posting this - my apologies. Mostly it was because I figured this move would precipitate another FF.net-centered wankstorm. The noose in question was meant to refer to the fact that every time they make a move over there, people fall apart, like how a noose tends to tighten if whatever caught in it wiggles. I can see how it could easily be taken to mean that I thought the FF.net people were tightening a noose. That's what I get for trying to be clever and wit-tay.

8:14am: Earring Wank!
I was going to hold off for a week or so... but this is just too weird.

Yesterday's girlfriend wank has since turned into a discussion of cloning, which is something of an improvement - they're actually joking instead of wanking (I hope they're joking). However, wank can never be created or destroyed, it merely changes form. So instead of six pages of girlfriend wank, today we have six pages of earring wank... and it's not even a real earring.

It went something like this:

ArleneP: ( Should Josh get an earring? )

Rest of Messageboard: ( OMGWTFNOOOOOO!!!111! )

With all this passion over the idea of an earring, I'd hate to see them reacting to a real one.
