heidiI have accepted the challenge.
Wait. I'm giving birth, helping organize Nimbus - 2003 and trying to get FA to achieve 501(c)(3) status? Well, if reading OotP 50 times counts, I should be fine.
Legal etexts on palm pilot, here I come!

Date: 2003-01-10 11:27 am (UTC)Do rereads count, or do they have to be all new (to you) books?
As for the Palm, that's where Mr. B is doing most of his reading these days anyway. If you like fiction, I recommend getting the latest Honor Harrington novel in hardback, even if you don't like David Weber. It comes with a CD full of other novels in various formats. All of the HH novels, Eric Flint's AU 1632 (and its follow-up, 1633, I think), along with other Baen Free Library books. Mr. B's slowly going through the collection.

Date: 2003-01-10 11:55 am (UTC)Do tell us what you're reading from time to time. I toyed with the idea of doing it for about 5 minutes. But then I realized I was already at least 3 books behind most of the people in the community. And I'm betting magazines, fan fiction and children's books do not count. ;)
love, lore

Hey, neat idea
Date: 2003-01-10 03:52 pm (UTC)As you know, I post my books each month, anyway. I don't actually think it will be much of a challenge, but it'll be fun to read other people's lists, anyway.
Cheers,

Have you seen this??
Has FA been contacted? I don't know how reliable the article is, but I saw it and thought I should pass it on.

Re: Have you seen this??
Date: 2003-01-10 07:40 pm (UTC)But since I've worked with Neil Blair before on Nimbus, and as both he and WB know what's on FA, both from the NY Times article in May and our continued relationship with them since, I truly hope that if they stumble across anything that's NC17 on FA that we just haven't spotted yet, they call me (he *has* my phone number) or email me and let us know. That's how professionals work.
Re: Have you seen this??
Date: 2003-01-10 07:43 pm (UTC)I'm a bit annoyed by that article nonetheless, simply because it sounds an aweful lot like instead of contacting the webmasters and webmistresses and requesting them to remove slash they are going straight for the ISPs to have them shut down.
Doesn't seem right.

PS- I've finally submitted a fic to FA today. I was proud of myself. Its time I got away from FFN.
Re: Have you seen this??
Date: 2003-01-10 07:48 pm (UTC)Btw - nobody, afaik, as been shut down as of yet, but who knows what that means?
Re: Have you seen this??
Date: 2003-01-10 07:55 pm (UTC)This also explains why FFN started cleaning out NC-17 stories a month ago.
It was bound to come eventually I suppose.
