It was a good day
Jan. 30th, 2025 11:00 pmuntil dinner. Been queasy ever since. Ah well, annoying but nothing big. The knee did better this time with that injection so that's good.
2025 = the year of the local con. One local con wants me to represent as a local author and another just asked me to be an author/judge for their writing contest. I hope I get to do both.
A couple of years ago I backed a Good Omens graphic novel on kickstarter. It hit a reef when the artist developed breast cancer and needed a year to take off for treatment (Understandable) but now we have all the allegations against Gaiman. This is what the kickstarter sent today ( cut for length )
Basically it's from Terry Pratchett's estate and there should be no money going to Gaiman end of story. It's like do I do the refund? If the artist hadn't had cancer, I'd have this book already. Would I throw it off my shelf? Also I'm TIRED of others suffering for the bad actions of one person (the actors for Harry Potter, ALL the actors for Dead Boy Detective (now canceled), Good Omens (cut back to a few hours to wrap it up) and I'm assuming Sandman will not be renewed once S2 airs.
I'm not about to give up my entire Sandman collection. My love for it hasn't changed (though it will be in the back of my head what the creator did much like it is when I rewatch the Harry Potter movies). I'll probably let this ride and just get the book. I didn't order any of the add ons. I feel bad for the creators here affected by Gaiman's actions, that Terry Pratchett's estate might suffer if everyone asks for refunds. Sigh.

ysabetwordsmith. bedes has made a list of indie web site Several on my Flist were here in the beginning of online fandom. We remember the indie web sites especially all over geocity and I had one with evil_little_dog for Buffy stories. While there is a lot of good to be said about big fandom sites like FFN, AO3 and Squidge but there is also something special (and for me nostalgic) about indie sites. If you have any you want to share toss them into the comments.
