Stats Post: We are busy…

So here goes, a small word on what’s up in scribbler-land.

We are creating higher word count compilations of short fiction, preparing fiction and graphics to sell directly in lovely little downloads that I can make truly beautiful, and figuring out how to add extras and new fiction and new chapters to stuff that’s been sitting on hold for forever.

Additionally, it’s twenty days until Insurgent by Veronica Roth appears and I’m thinking of doing twenty days of fandom goodies to mark off the time. :still thinking:

I want to update my fandom site, but I’m not allowing myself until I earn more original work income. I also want to get cracking on some Awake fanwork, but this must wait until I’m done with my two meme pieces, which are coming along.

Over the next couple weeks, I’m going to try and start posting on some of my fav fiction reads. I’m not counting on it yet because I have a lousy track record with review writing. It’s just not my thing, but I want to share some of the awesome stuff I’ve been reading. :groans: Ah, well. We’ll see.

See you all soon!

CISPA is the new SOPA

As predicted, pro-SOPA/PIPA are trying to push their plans forward through the backdoor under a new name, being all "PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN."

Here's their next move: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States.

And CISPA would provide a victory for content owners who were shell-shocked by the unprecedented outpouring of activism in opposition to SOPA and Internet censorship.

The House of Representatives is planning to take up CISPA later this month. Click here to ask your lawmakers to oppose it.

SOPA was pushed as a remedy to the supposed economic threat of online piracy -- but economic fear-mongering didn't quite do the trick.

So those concerned about copyright are engaging in sleight of hand, appending their legislation to a bill that most Americans will assume is about keeping them safe from bad guys.

This so-called cyber security bill aims to prevent theft of "government information" and "intellectual property" and could let ISPs block your access to websites -- or the whole Internet.

Don't let them push this back-door SOPA. Click here to demand that your lawmakers oppose CISPA.

CISPA also encourages companies to share information about you with the government and other corporations.

That data could then be used for just about anything -- from prosecuting crimes to ad placements.

And perhaps worst of all, CISPA supercedes all other online privacy protections.

Please click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose CISPA when it comes up for a vote this month.

Thanks for fighting for the Internet.
