Ducks, you must Cease and Desist!
Yep. It's true. One of Ducks' websites got a C&D from Fox. Her response: Not only do I *NOT* make ANY money from this, I SPEND hundreds every year, and it's FREE FREAKING PUBLICITY for their greedy, bloodsucking asses. However, she is removing images from the shows though not her fanfic.
For those of you who need a refresher course in All Things Ducks, here are some links:
Meet the Quackers! My first post about the "dedicated" Buffy/Angel 'shippers, including their various ad campaigns to reuinte their favorite couple.
"Spuggy" and Spiketards. Ducks hates the Spike/Buffy relationship and fans so much that she refuses to even type the word "Spuffy." Oh, and she creates a page about how much Spike sucks.
Better Late Than Never? Two months later, Ducks and her ducklings discover the above F_W post and insult me and Fandom_Wank.
Caught up? Good.
The kicker? Some people are crying conspiracy.
Knightfall729: It's the Spuffies. That's who it is! The Friggin' SPUFFIES!
Sweety8587: from over 12 millions sites on the web, not to mention hundreds of thousands of buffy fanfic sites..they had to choose Ducks site?! I sense a conspiracy! (or maybe its just my insanity talking....)
Calmer voices chime in.
Taramisu: What sense does this make at all? Fox starts clamping down on what they feel is copyright infringement, and it's the fault of fans who like S/B? What kind of drugs are you on?
trammie77: That's far enough. Before this goes any further ... There is no proof or reason to point to any fandom and blame them for a letter from Fox. These emails/letters from the network have been sent to other sites long before some pairings ever existed. There is enough disharmony between other ships, no need or basis to create more.
But not everyone agrees.
Cats1: But tell me the truth, does it really surprise you that some of us feel like just *one* Spuffy in all of the hundreds out there might feel like this was a fun way to get their kicks?
No matter what one thinks about C&D letters in general, Ducks and others from the Babble Boards definitely feel persecuted. Of all websites on all the Internet, Fox serves notice to Ducks'.
EDITED to add link provided bycrickets: Talk about riding the bitter train: Thanks to the draconian Nazi bastards at FOX, The Denial Bubble is closed permanently. You're welcome for five years of free publicity, Mr. Hitler.
