neadodsPhear the wooden boobies! Priest curses statue that he considers risque. (I'm straight enough to think she has a lovely face. Okay, and a balcony you could do Shakespeare off of.)
It's the return of Lady Sybill! In an interview for a Brazilian website, she finally shows a dim grasp of reality regarding her Twilight ripoff. To wit: I realized I’d never get away with selling it, so I gave refunds to all the Ebay buyers... no attorney will defend me if I decide to publish.
On the other hand, the LOLs are still coming. This isn't mere fanfic after all, because I believe I have more training and education than the average fanfic writer, so that’s the only reason I wanted to release it as a book. Anybody have a couple of hours so I can list all the "average fanfic writers" who turned pro, especially the ones who write licensed tie-in books? Tie-ins *from the same universe* even?
And her grasp of copyright is still just as entertaining as it was when she started: the whole issue with the fans is they have been shown a way they never knew about, why can’t fans make money off the universe they feed?
Maybe because it's legally and morally the same as making money by selling the contents of the purse you just stole?
