Watching: assorted

I've been watching videos (I know, how unlike me. But my sound sensitivity was down for a day or two, and having great big ear-thingies instead of having to insert earbuds in? Game changing).

Former NASA Engineer Builds an Incredible Obstacle Course For the Squirrels That Are Stealing His Birdseed article has some short sections from the video; full video is at youtube. Actually watched this a few weeks ago, but still had the article open. Is 20-30 minutes long, don't remember what quality the CC was.

History of fanfiction (not all the episodes):

  1. Virgil was a Homer Fanboy - shared storytelling traditions
  2. Feel the Berne (Convention) - the beginnings of copyright
  3. Slashing Up An Ion Storm - early 20thC, fanzines, Star Trek, Star Wars
  4. The Internet is for Fic - the internet fanfiction.net, AO3, and some others (no mention of geocities though)
  5. 50 Shades of Legality - filing the serial numbers off; Marion Zimmer Bradley and the story that went nowhere; Anne Rice; fair use; kindle worlds.
  6. I Love You, Mary Sue! - includes a partial reading of the original story containing Mary Sue; My Immortal

Just get it done quilts - how to iron blocks - there are some nuances here that I am not currently doing.

"Virgil was a Homer Fanboy."

Dante was a *serious* Virgil fanboy. And portrayed himself as such in his Marty Stu classic, "The Divine Comedy."
