This is the most disturbing bit of news I've heard in months.
Not to mention disgusting.
And no, for any of our residents whose usual good sense deserts them on political issues, he's not making it up.
I feel ill.

This is a rather impressive piece of work mapping connections and crossovers from a massive number of television works.

  "DMCA" in Canada
Posted by: TheTwisted1 - 11-29-2007, 10:14 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (9)

For those of you who live in Canada, according to The Globe and Michael Geist, the government will be considering a new copyright bill, C-60, to meet the WIPO treaty obligations, which essentially copies the U.S. DMCA. Further, according to Geist, it eliminates fair-use exemptions: "There will be no flexible fair dealing. No parody exception. No time shifting exception. No device shifting exception. No expanded backup provision. Nothing."

  A PC World article that might be of interest to writers.

I thought this might interest some of the writers on the board.
It has a few links to some interesting sites for writers that want to self publish.

  [meta] Need some characters
Posted by: robkelk - 11-29-2007, 06:36 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (2)

I need a few characters for Legend of Galactic Girls. They're essentially walk-on roles, but I figured I'd offer the chance to create them to anyone
who felt like offering, in case somebody wanted to introduce any of these sorts of characters to Fenspace...

First, a television news announcer, preferably one who's cheerful without being saccharine. (If I don't get anyone here, I'll risk Comrade
Fnord's wrath and use the name "Maico Tange
".)

First-and-a-half, the name of a Fenspace-wide news service.

Second, an officious paper-pusher Browncoat. (Yeah, I know, but somebody has to run the
spaceport...)

Third, a bit-part zwilnick or two.

Thanks in advance...

-Rob Kelk

  DBZ... are there any GOOD fan-fics out there?
Posted by: David Lewis - 11-29-2007, 04:48 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (5)

This one has been hard. I've been having rather poor luck at finding anything engrossing to read, and given the success of my previous Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo fic search requests, and given the the huge variety of experience and depth of knowledge of the subject of fanfiction here, I was hoping for some more suggestions? What in your opinion are the best Dragonball/Z/GT stories out there?

If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I'm spent with high treason
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Feed me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Well I know he's not old
And I'm told and I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
What I'm told is never never for certain
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Feed me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul
Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me to the pilot
Feed me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger
Take me
Take me
Oh
Take me
Take me
Yeah
