I want to buy a server and start a war...

What the hell is happening?  First FanLib, then these maverick renegades on a holy mission to purge the internet of "perverts" like us?  Communities disappearing?  What happened to freedom of speech?

I've been reading all the posts, the articles, and the links.  I have much to say, but nothing to say right now.  My brain hurts.  My stomach feels slightly queasy.  I feel like crying a bit, but I'm too tired.  I want to strike back and DO something.  I want to make some Important Phone Calls.  I want to storm into an office of some high-and-mighty with a copy of the Constitution.  I want to do something... but right now, I just want to beat my forehead softly against my desk and ask, repeatedly, "WHY?"

Oh, how I love my fandom.  And there's going to be SO much to talk about at Sectus and Prophecy (and not just the damn 7th book). 

See you there.  Bring the ammo.

STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!!!

Sorry for the CAPS, but I needed your attention.  We need to see just how many LJ's out there are fandom LJ's.  There are 13 million LJ accounts.  Time to see how many of us are fandom. 

GO HERE:
The Fandom_Counts Community

Join.  That's all you need to do.  Don't post.  Just join, and be counted.  EVERYONE.

SPREAD THIS LIKE WILDFIRE.  Post it on your journal.  Post it on your Yahoo Groups to catch people who might have forgotten to friend you.  TELL EVERYONE.  This will be good.

New Journal, please read.

I've started a new journal, over at GreatestJournal.  Here's the address:
http://mijan.greatestjournal.com/

First of all, you should know that I am NOT giving up my LJ account yet. In fact, I plan to cross-post between these two journals for now, until I see which becomes the more active journal site for the fandom. It only makes sense. However, if you want to stay active with my journals, please friend me there as well. It will also let me know who still actively follows my journal. I'll also attempt to be more active on my new friends list. Please friend me to be friended back!

I think I may also use the new journal to be the site of my next wave of fanfiction. No decisions yet, but with everything going on, I think my fandom interest is sparking again. I'm still building the new journal. The layout will change. I need to upload userpics. I still have a ton to do for Prophecy and Sectus, and that's taking a lot of time. I'm still in the process of settling into life in Kansas with my girlfriend, fiona_fawkes.  *squees softly*

Anyhow, post on the new journal to be friended!  Time to rebuild, even as the old village burns.  Besides, I like a good bonfire.  Will someone bring the marshmallows?

For Truthiness, Eagleosity, and Freedom of Porn!

I think Colbert would like this:



But in the end, it all comes down to Iraq.  And that's tonight's Word.
