Where I'm at, just in case
Although I doubt LJ is going to simply blink out like a dead lamp, (or any of the sites I live at) just in case, you can find me here:
venivincere.livejournal.com
venivincere.insanejournal.com
www.journalfen.net/users/venivincere/
www.venivincere.com
venivincere at hotmail dot com
(in a pinch only) venivincere at gmail dot com
Also, I'm venivincere at Archive of Our Own
On Twitter, I'm venivincere (notice a pattern, here?)
I'm almost never on IM anymore, so I'll leave it blank.
I use Semagic and crosspost everywhere with almost every post, so wherever you find me things should be seamless. Someone the other day mentioned a clearinghouse for fannish people, but I can't remember the name or URL. If any of you know it, could you please leave a message in comments?
Thanks! See you around teh internetz.
current mood: around, here & there

So Transfan, I Herd U Liek Pedo Bear?
Transformers comic book fandom wank.. Early this morning, it was about pedophilia.
My doppelgänger from the IDW fan forum Skwege learned that he had been accused of having sex with children by the IDW forum fantards on Transfans.net. Sprunkner is a real internet tough guy. Unfortunately, he made it quite easy to find his dox.
Skwege was not happy to find he'd been slandered as a pedo. So he calls (yes, as in calls Sprunkner's landline) to tell him to take it down. No yelling, just something along the lines of "call me whatever you want but accusing me of child fucking is not cool."
What does Spencer (Sprunkner's IRL name) do? He freaks out and hangs up!
That's right-he's a coward. So Skwege leaves him a voicemail:
"Hi Spencer :
You like to make libelous accusations about people having sex with kids? That is really grown up of you. Oh wow, you live in Washington State as well? What a coincidence! Bellingham is only an hour from here.
It's not funny! I know little punks like you think they can run around all anonymous on the internet and think nothing can bite them in their ass. However let me tell you little man, you are going to retract your statement, and then apologize. Talking shit about someone is one thing, but making a disgusting and FOUL comment like that is libelous. I have the time, money, resources, and most importantly the fucking patience to see this through so don't toy with me little man."
Then Sprunkner has his wife (yes, someone actually agreed to marry him) respond. He doesn't have the balls to answer Skwege himself-he makes his wife call him back and tell him not to call. Unfortunately, Spencer posted her phone number and email as his contact information.
Some PMs get exchanged on the IDW forum and Sprunkner accuses Skwege of threatening him (although I doubt the police consider being asked to take down a post or telling someone you're suing them for slander are violations of any particular laws). He makes an announcement on Transfans.net, crying that Skwege is harassing his family and that he called the po-po on him.
Sprunkner did call the police and they in turn contact Skwege.
The result? The police are highly pissed off-at Sprunkner. Because this is much ado about comic books.
All this name calling and wank is over whether or not the comic book series All Hail Megatron is in continuity.
The police were not too happy about being called to mediate a dispute over Starscream's alt mode.
They lecture Sprunkner and felt Skwege was somewhat justified. Skwege apologizes for dragging the wife into the mess because being accused of fucking children is serious business that involves the IRL banhammer.
The wank continues on Tranfan.net where Sprunkner whines some more (I guess his wife made him sleep on the couch) and Skwege threatens to post a scan of the police report.
These fine examples of male adulthood continue to fight about giant robots. I believe Sprunkner's wife summed it up succinctly in an email to Skwege: "This is a fight over made up robots-let it go."
Unfortunately, everyone ignores her.
Edit: I accept this is total fail. Need more recipes and fail macros, please.

Sad and angry
I just found out that one of my childhood friends was murdered two days ago. He and his older brother moved away when we were still just kids, but our families kept in touch. His brother was just in town this summer, visiting for a few days. I found out from my mom that the neighborhood association where he lived had turned off the streetlights and let go the guard who used to patrol the neighborhood at night because people were not paying their association dues. Since then, several cars have been broken into, and now this. They took his laptop and cell phone; he had nothing else.

Time Sensitive FW flashback...
...I'm asking on behalf of someone who's doing a..unique trivia contest, so there's a slight time-sensitive element.
I'm trying to find more info on the old "Fandom Unite!" LJ controversy that used "Hoist The Colors" as its theme song -- i.e., exactly what was fandom uniting about? I'm vaguely remembering details -- which of the "scrapping communities" stunts LJ pulled did it pertain to?
Thanks in advance. I'm kind of sleep-deprived and can't function too well.

Simple and Delicious
4 strips thick-cut bacon, trimmed of excess fat
1/2 head cabbage, rough-chopped
salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste
Chop the trimmed bacon and separate into pieces. In large sautee pan or wok, heat bacon until grease from bacon coats pan. Add rough-chopped cabbage, sautee, stirring frequently, until bacon done and cabbage just going soft. Add salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste, stir in, turn off heat and serve. Can be served as is, or over rice (basmati is best). Enjoy!

Out Of Bounds progress report, and skater standings.
I'm not going to finish all of Out Of Bounds today.
Most of it.
But not all of it.
I have roughly six scenes (with ongoing expansions....) left to write. Vacation's over tomorrow, had family stuff last night. Came home exhausted and distracted (that's family for you). Got edits but no core writing done afterward.
Looks like I'll be working on the last of Out Of Bounds through this coming week.
For those who are curious... ( the names and standings of John's competitors at Nationals, because, yes, I am that anal. )

Out Of Bounds progress....
Okay. I've got everything written except the skating scenes themselves.
Of course, those are the hard parts. Including John's long program.
Oh, God.
Whatever possessed me to suggest dinner with WG's niece tonight? Oh well. It's been slated since before Christmas.

Clarification and cell division.
Just to clarify ...
... I have roughly thirty scenes of Out Of Bounds yet to post. It's that I have ten seven more scenes left to write. Funny how one scene begats two scenes, and so on, eh?
I'm back in school on January 5th, so it's gotta be done this weekened.

Resolutions and Roundups
Resolutions:
1. Attempt to have a little more personality and get involved more. I hate feeling like life is doing me instead of me doing life.
2. Get healthy, which will probably do wonders for making #1 work.
3. Write more, even if it is utter crap.
4. Post more here.
Fic roundup for 2008:
This is a list of my fics which were published on Skyehawke; there may be a bit of bleed-through from 2007 because I posted my fest fics there in January. Missing: this year's Prince of Tennis fic for Santa_Smex: the reveals aren't until mid-January.
Sometimes we all need a little help communicating. Snape/Harry. Warnings: Voyeurism, cross-dressing, spanking, mild D/s, a bare hint of M-preg.
[ Published 2009-01-01 ]</font>
Snape/Harry. Romance, Angst. "Tabula rasa," Harry says again, because it's the only thing he can think of with Snape's nose so close to his face, pushing everything else to the edge of his vision. "Potter. My tabula will never be rasa."
[ Published 2008-08-31 ]
Snape/Harry. Sometimes the risk is worth it. Romance with a little hurt/comfort thrown in.
[ Published 2008-08-30 ]
For Pushdragon's inadvertent challenge. Claim: Hermione Granger.
[ Published 2008-05-11 ]
Sanada/Yukimura, PG-13. Routine is discipline, discipline is strength.
[ Published 2008-04-13 ]
Eiji/Oishi and a little bit of Atobe/Tezuka. NC-17. Humor. "How many times do we have to tell you? The wasabi was an accident!"
[ Published 2008-01-10 ]
Snape/Harry. Summary: Harry can't seem to get Snape out of his head. Or is it Voldemort? Angst/Humor. Warnings: Chan, spanking.

The grammar! My eyes!
I'm just C&P'ing a mousie's post from wank_report. I can't pass up entitlement wank.
Crunchyroll is going legit. The site owner, Shinji, has been wheeling and dealing to have anime air subbed only days after it airs in Japan.
OK, users are pleased, the Naruto fans look on in anticipation, everything seems hunky-dory.
Then, Shinji introduces Anime memberships for the site. Did not read all of the benefits but the gist seems to be higher quality videos and quicker access to the anime from Japan.
That happened in the past few weeks. Now queue the new year!
Oops, did he just say that he was removing all fan uploaded content and getting permission from the publishers?
Queue the butthurt, angst, and I will kill for my anime!!!!Z!!!!!!ZOMG~!!!! Along with people eagerly trading links for other sites to feed their addiction.
The dramas, anime, and music sections now look like ghost towns, with the exception of stuff Shinji has wheeled and dealed for.
People are predicting the death of the site, but for now, it's fun seeing the entitlement angst going on over there.

Video timing software
Hi all,
Do any of you know any good video timing software that doesn't cost anything? If I don't fix the timing of these subs I'm going to go nuts watching Hana Yori Dango final. :'-(
