Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

10:37am: X Wank
Possible end of X wank. Only kind of wanky but it counts.

1:51pm: Finally! The story* behind the quickquote vs. daily_snitch debacle.
*well, at least one side of it...

Once upon a time, little_needle made an HP fandom newsletter called quickquote. All the little HP fen flocked to it, saying, "Oooooh! A shiny new friend!" As time went by, little quickquote became sickly and wan, until isiscolo came to fill it with recs and links anew. There was much rejoicing. After a while, a foul wind blew across the kingdom, and isiscolo left for the greener pastures of the new daily_snitch. No one knew why, until now...

ETA: Aaaaand, we have little_needle's goodbye HP fandom post. Thanks, anon!

7:51pm: In defense of Irish step-dancers everywhere!
guinevere33 makes a post to metaquotes.

phoenix takes offense and says it's anti-Irish repeatedly.

Several folks disagree. (Way too many to link--I spent more than five minutes with all the ones earlier.)

(BTW, this is my first fw post. *pops champagne bottle*)

11:26pm: That's what Brian Boitano'd do!
Over on the Overclocked Remix forums, ArgonX decides to be an activist. Not just any activist, but an activist in the most worthy cause to get SquareEnix to make "Chrono Break", a supposed threequel to "Chrono Trigger" which never really existed outside of a stagnant copyright claim from back in 2001.

How does he plan on making this happen, you ask? Why, he's set up an online petition! It's worth noting that his online petition vehicle is not in fact PetitionOnline, but Live March.com, which basically creates a mailing list of sorts to spam the protestee of choice with phone calls, faxes, and e-mails. Because that's not obnoxious in the least.

Guess what his fellow forumites think? Come on, guess!

( Choice quotes )

Personally, it doesn't really matter to me whether SquareEnix does anything about "Chrono Break". I just want them to explain what the hell was going on in "Chrono Cross" past the first hour or so.
