#geek and desist

[myrtiniart]

I can think of one (1) guidance counselor who's thrilled to celebrate Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, by cosplaying as the 4th Doctor. (he's especially proud of the hand-knitted scarf, part of a series)

Bonus: Some geeks geeking out (or a rare moment where the Belcher kids and mr Frond spend quality time together)

More about the art under the cut

"Entrepreneurship is no walk in the park. One day you have a thriving Etsy business selling hand-knitted Doctor Who scarves, the next, a PBS lawyer sends you a cease and desist letter that practically threatens to break your fingers."

After that scene, I needed more content of mr Frond fangirling over Doctor Who!

It makes sense to me that he'll cosplay as the 4th Doctor. As someone who's born in the early 70s (according to wiki), he must have seen the episodes with Tom Baker back in the eighties. But I believe he likes the newer incarnations too.

Αn other headcanon of mine is that mr Frond likes going to comic-cons, either as a cosplayer or as just a fan. I have no idea what they're talking about in the second drawing, but they probably run into each other in a comic-con and the Belchers started asking him questions about his costume and the show, which he's more than glad to answer! Gene and Louise got really invested in the show's story really fast (Louise trying to hide her interest with sarcasm), while Tina just vibed and enjoyed mr Frond's Jelly Babies.

I really think normies breaching fandom caused a lot of damage, you got people who can't separate fiction from reality plus people who can't separate their religion from fiction and use it to apply "sins" to others and cast moral judgements (another form of fiction = reality mfers), you got casuals who think fandom is just for people who casually enjoy a thing and call legit fandom people freaks and obsessed weirdos with no life when they see what the true purpose of fandom is, it's terrible

There’s always been stupid people in fandom, but I think there’s definitely something to be said about the mistake of fandom becoming mainstream and how that has effected the larger culture within fandom.

We used to have ship wars and ultimately silly stuff that was intense and often unkind, sure, but for all its problems it was still taboo to threaten people over shipping and fanfic and fanart. There was an understanding that everyone was there to have fun, even if their fun wasn’t necessarily your fun (ykinmkato). I think this probably had something to do with how fandom used to be considered weird. Like actually weird. If you were so into The X-Files that you drew or wrote porn of Mulder and Scully it made you a bit of a social outcast. It was the same just being really into anime in 2012. So the culture was very much about finding your people and bonding over not just the love of the show, but the mutual understanding of being a little bit of an oddball because of it. (This is something that still exists to some degree with more niche fandoms or interests. People still think that aeromorphs and anthro/furries are super weird. Some fandoms still have reputations as being weirder than others.)

I think something kinda broke with both new social media, but also the general disregard new fans had for long established fandom codes. You generally weren’t supposed to show actors of the show any ship art or fic, you weren’t supposed to ask about fandom related discourse (wank) at panels, there was a fear around your fic being discovered and having cease and desists thrown at you by the original creator (this is why every old fic you see has that little disclaimer at the top about not being the owner and credit goes to the original creator).

I sound like old man yells at cloud but I think there was something lost when fandom stopped being for the freaks and geeks and started being for just anyone who remotely enjoyed whatever media. Some of this sort of culture is definitely still alive and well on our beloved hellsite, but the prevalence of anti-shipping and fanpol types is a result of a lot of things interfering with what fandom had been for a long time.

The Architect in Me is Geeking Out Right Now.

It’s only a side benefit that my Masters Program focused on Adaptive Re-Use of old buildings.

I’m in Waterloo, IA, and my BIL was a mechanic on the tractor line at the John Deere Foundry. The building he worked at was converted into a Courtyard by Marriott. They have kept the old concrete structural columns and poured in place concrete floors with all the exposed rigging supports.

Sure as shit beats the Comfort Inn over in the next town, where the rest of her family is staying. The restaurant at this hotel is called Starbeck’s. Not sure how they didn’t get a cease and desist order.

As an added bonus we went to Single Speed Brewery for a quick bite. Imagine a 40,000sf old factory building that was once a Wonder Bread bakery. It was built in 1928 and has all the old floors, cutting boards, brick & steel, and steel bow string trusses. I’m sure I’ll be back then and take more pictures.

A (very basic, incomplete) timeline of the history of fanfiction

Got into fan studies like a month ago, and learning about how fanfiction has changed is definitely my favorite part. I should note that there were works you could classify as fanfiction as early as the eighteenth century, but I'm more interested in the evolution of modern fanfiction.

Beginning of fanfiction as we know it

1960s - 1970s - Women writing Star Trek fanzines basically invent fanfiction, and also the idea of having sex, which no one had thought to do before. Everyone say thank you women. The fandom term "slash" originates from early Kirk/Spock fanfiction. (Kirk SLASH Spock.)

1981 - Several women (because yes, they were also women) receive cease and desist letters from Maureen Garrett, director of the Official Star Wars Fan Club saying that "X-rated" fanfiction is strictly prohibited and that "the word has come down from George Lucas, himself, that STAR WARS pornography is unquestionably unacceptable." This managed to mostly deter people from writing Star Wars smut (until the Internet), an example of what Mel Stanfill calls successful "domestication" of a fanbase.

Fanfiction goes online

1990s - early 2000s - Fanfiction moves online. It is no longer necessary (or preferable) to create fanzines that are sent out to a mailing list - or traded at cons. Obviously people still make physical copies of zines and are still attending cons, but the internet makes available a plethora of free fan-made content. It also becomes harder (although as we shall see, not impossible) for companies to control what types of fanfiction get passed around.

Anne Rice and fair use (and why companies can basically do whatever they want)

2000 - Anne Rice, author of Interview With The Vampire, posts a message on her website stating that she disallows all fanfiction of her works. Several fanfiction writers receive cease and desist letters. The following year, fanfiction.net scrubs all fanfiction of her works from their site.

What Rice did would probably not have stood up to legal scrutiny, but that doesn't really matter. Fair use doesn't really mean shit because companies FREQUENTLY use language that exceeds their actual legal authority as a scare tactic. People don't know what constitutes fair use and even if they did, sites like YouTube (or like fanfiction.net) tend to side with the companies and IP owners. That means that a lot of what gets taken down is fair use but is stuff the IP owner finds objectionable, a la 1980s Lucasfilm. (See Mel Stanfill's Exploiting Fandom, chap. 4 for more about this)

Early mainstreaming of fanfiction: "And when everyone's a nerd...no one will be."

2006 - The infamous Harry Potter fanfiction "My Immortal" is posted on fanfiction.net. I originally thought about putting this here to be funny and cause you kind of have to, but I actually think the widespread ridicule it received is probably indicative of the fact that fanfiction was still seen as something weird and niche. (Yes, I'm aware this is not the only reason it's funny.)

2008 - Iron Man, the first movie of what would become the Marvel Cinematic Universe, hits theaters. I've seen people cite the MCU as the sole reason for the mainstreaming of nerd/geek culture. I think I have to agree, and with the mainstreaming of nerd/geek culture comes the mainstreaming of fanfiction.

2011 - Fifty Shades of Grey is published. The author, E. L. James, is open about the fact that her story started as Twilight fanfiction. This is one of the first (THE first?) books with mainstream success that is essentially published fanfiction.

Fanfiction goes mainstream?

2015ish to present: Is it weird to read or write fanfiction anymore? It doesn't really feel like it. The transformative works website Archive of Our Own has seen a steady increase in the number of visitors to the site every year since the 2010s. (And a lot of people, not just the weirdos, at least have some idea of what AO3 is.) It is no longer as taboo to turn your fanfiction into a published book. Which is remarkable, because as late as 2019, Mel Stanfill (to whom I owe my life) talks about how the ways in which women engage in fandom (fanfiction) are not profitable or career-advancing like the stuff male fans do (video game modding, amateur filmmaking). To me, it looks like that has changed. The fanfiction-turned-books that I've seen get the most snide laughs are After by Anna Todd (2014) and The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (2021). But secure the bag regardless, ladies. We love to see a girlboss winning.

Courtney's comments on Dave. Context: Courtney discusses the rumour of the age and identity of Grohl's latest child's mother. This rumour is debunked now. The woman is 38 year old Jennifer Young. From her Substack.

clover18 17 Oct

I was being sent social media comments “ no schadefraude but I hope Courtney is having a good day “ what ? What ? Why on earth would a single indiscretion - bother a libertine who knows what really goes on, especially with the most wholesome most married most least embracing of their shadow side in public persona male rockstars ? No I wasn’t having a good day about Dave . Given what I know about what he really does for 20 years . One! ? Gimme a break . Until ! I heard from the love of his life -( believe it or not Grohl and me were buds from 90/91, until “kurtney” & vanity fair. After which there were in TOTAL. From aug 92 until Kurt’s April 94 death . 2! “ rehearsals “ ( he wrote everything . Trios bands with one writer don’t really need rehearsals eg green day . But … this was different ) one to introduce my first best la friend pat smear to krist and dave( a simple basic referral narrative that Dave won’t allow pat to just tell the truth on . I called him at the record store he was working at after Kurt asked me if I knew “ anyone happy ? Anyone who won’t judge me ? Who can play guitar ?” I did . I called him and handed the phone to Kurt. The end . Yet that’s not the official narrative Dave is so chip on shoulder messed up about his more popular singer, submissive “”” role as drummer blah blah ) but no ! I’m not as monogamous by nature as clearly most of you are but you didn’t grow up with it . My values are mine. I’d hate to see a family broken up even by someone who provoked and profited financially vastly from all the misplaced good will sent his way leaving me the Medusa for 33 years . The m*rdering wh*re. With shotgun shells thrown at me every night onstage. That real popular guy or girl that at high school will totally hang out with the Stoner’s or freaks or drama geeks but one whiff of threat to his football captain status? You never see him again . Anyway this ? I’ve discovered is the real story . And now I am angry at him . It’s from a former band mate and from someone a dear friend who ran the alternative departments at 4 majors since 85. It wasn’t just his pimp owner of “ gods girls “ -coke buddy chick - with the mass quantity of ndas . Josh and Taylor and some of my own friends Bros in la in tow . 100s of ndas. I do not care . What I care about is that the baby momma is his eldest ( paging dr Frued ! Her name ! I’ll refrain from naming her . But holy Frued the name!) the one who desperately along with Grohl who wants to be a pop /rock star . Call me mean . I am mean I’m a rhino . . Is that news ?

Trying to say her school friend he knocked up is “ 19” . She was 17 at the time of the broken social contract .

A writer in seatttle who writes about bands like Dave’s or pearl jam etc I don’t listen to . A woman, gave him 24 hours - to make a public statement . He did . Oh my how vague .

He omittted the breaking of the law part . The age . His kids school friend .

This is what has been told to me by people who have great values ( all women ) and an inside track . I don’t have social and I’ve never used Reddit ( where someone told me some of this exists ) or x They are sewers . For me all social media is . I’m done .

I’m not having a good day about this I’m

Thinking about being 17 and sleeping with 59 year old men ( I did as a runaway ) and how much it hurt - how ugly they seemed …

Wonder how much money to prevent it coming out . ? Facts aren’t defamation before anyone ( like Lou Taylor Britney diddy biz Mgr/ pillaged my daughter’s trust and worse used to send me. COMEDY! I save them all for satirical stories, if la courts probate mafia ever gets cleaned up ( never ) but they’re funny her cease and desists . My lawyer calls hers mostly “ trumps media lawyer “( 👀🤣) & calls him

Names and Lou today has WAY! Bigger fish to fry ! Today . this ? been confirmed by 3 sources you’d trust . More than me . you know . I’m

! “ Courtney problematic crazy “

I get it .

the intention Amanda ? Is to clarify this apparent fact not some internet rumour . It’s pretty seriously gross , if true not to mention illegal . If true .

But he’ll pay to make it go away . With that ? Not my monkey not my circus . 🎪

NEW VIDEO! In January, I made a video titled “The Geek Content Mills Ruining the Internet.” In November, that video disappeared. The reason why? Screen Rant's parent company, Valnet, sent a cease & desist letter to my house. So… let's go over that. It's quite the situation.

ALBUM REVIEW: DAMN SKIPPY (2005)

not gonna do number ratings anymore bc it's just gonna be all 5s

Dead Sea Monkeys: the other day they were alive, and now they're floating at the top. pretty good opening to an album that i love.

Sky is Not Blue: he wasnt lying, this song is defective and little. love it.

Pumpkin Pie: i want to try some of that guy's pumpkin pie. shame that the king tortured him to death.

When Robots Attack: i love the detail of "this is how to act" becoming "this is how we act" and then "this is how i act". i can't believe they made team fortress two into a lemon demon song.

Geeks in Love: la la la, la la la, la labadi dodadi love. i love saying the ending part occasionally, it's a very fun voice to put on.

New Way Out: this one's another great song for staring out the window of a moving vehicle and pretending you're the main character of a movie. in livin in an illin villakin i kinda caterwauled.

What Will Happen Will Happen: song about how it's not really worth it to linger in depression over things that happen. we do, we do nothing but hold the window shut to keep the worry out.

Kitten is Angry: complete tonal shift from the previous song. it's ok tho bc it's really funny. her little whiskers are stained with the blood of those that she has slain.

The Ceiling: short little song about looking up. two thumbs up.

Subtle Oddities: song about a guy experiencing fucked up distortion of reality as the time signature changes constantly. great at creating visuals. also just kind of a banger.

Gonna Dig Up Alec Guinness: gonna show them all the meaning of "a great disturbance in the force". not the only instance of neil singing about resurrecting someone. also ending in the guy getting a cease and desist and claiming fair use and then the first amendment, which is hilarious.

Flamingo Legs: this used to be called "living underneath a rock". it's pretty obviously about a guy (probably a child) who is dead and revisiting places from their life as a ghost. really fucking good song. i'd love to say it's only fair, but it's not, i'd love to form a perfect square, i forgot my love of rolling down the hill on the lawn, i never noticed it until it was gone.

Ode to Crayola: religious levels of obsession with crayola brand crayons. also he eats the crayons.

Rainwater: feels a little apocalyptic, but it could also just be someone who's eccentric. pretty good either way.

Smell Like a Cookie All Day: my friend humanity, stop this insanity, put a drop of vanilla behind each ear and you'll smell like a cookie all day. love this song.

Dizziful Bliss: even the song feels wobbly. we're staggering, wobbly, dizzy, confused little people spinning round and round and round.

Word Dissasociation: the finger smells sticky. webs eat the key in tea. 👍👍

Eventuality: the more you focus more on one thing, the less of the big picture you see. great closer. this whole album is very "last day of the school year" and this song is the trip home. also ends in gameplay of commander keen 4 gameplay sounds.

Not to be like too sympathetic to rich people but it’s gotta be a bit of a nightmare if you’re one of the CR cast nowadays right? Trapped in an increasingly convoluted franchise that demands that your entire life revolve around dungeons and fucking dragons til presumably the day you drop as the deals mount and the spinoffs and adaptations multiply and you have to tell fans they can’t run a charity zine because of your contract with Dark Horse comics (the fedora of comic imprints btw) (you can’t even tell them that’s why). And like your life is under constant scrutiny you spend every moment worried how you look and how any of your fans might be becoming uncomfortably parasocial again to cause another controversy. And you’re the company that got bullied into donating the proceeds of a Wendy’s partnership meanwhile nowadays Jeff Bezos is paying your company big $$$ to produce an Amazon exclusive animated adaptation of a story that genuinely used to mean something to you. Well that and you also have to deal with a third campaign that keeps sinking it’s hooks into the corpse of the previous two because people are losing interest and viewership is declining so you need callbacks and improbably continuity and coincidences because if everything collapses things get ugly for you and these 7 other people who were once your good friends but are now people you’re irrevocably tied together in business who will have to start full time voice acting again (except Laura Bailey who commands a massive price tag these days). And again this all really did used to mean something, a way to spend the rare concurrent weekends off playing a game with your friends and telling stories together, now you’re sending cease and desist orders to independent artists at cons. Do you think they’d go back in time and kill Felicia Day before she asked them to join geek and sundry If they had the opportunity.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XXXVII

It was a love story from the very beginning.

One Sided Love

(8x18/8x19/8x20)

Hi my dears! I bring to you another meta from my series Destiel Chronicles.

Today we are going to talk about three episode that shows how Dean was feeling heartbroken, trying to handle a one sided love as he could see it.

I want to say thank you to my precious friend @agusvedder she made the gifs for this meta. 😍💕💕💕

Let's start...

Sam knows, and Dean avoiding his feelings to his brother

In episode 8x18 Feeeks and Geeks we had Sam trying to make his brother talk.

Because remember the last time, Sam saw him sad inside the Impala, listening to GOODBYE STRANGER song, and he get the idea right there. He saw how affected was his brother with Castiel leaving him. Because I really think Sam knew Dean felt something more than just a friendship for Castiel.

Just as Dean realized he loved Castiel, Sam realized Dean was in love with the angel.

So... Sam tried, as I said, to make Dean talk...

Sam is obviously trying to talk about how Dean is dealing with his brokenheart, but look at Dean's surprised face... Like... He didn't expected his brother came out with that question. Sometimes I wonder how much Dean thinks he can hide his feelings from his brother... Because he can't...

And because he's bringing CASTIEL to the chat... Dean connect the thing with... Feelings...

Okay... Sam brings Castiel to the surface, and Dean brings the word feelings to the surface too...

Sam is offering his shoulder here, waiting for Dean, at first it looks like Dean is about to confess something, but then... Th King of Avoidance, as I call him, decided to not talk, and because he needs the NO HOMO tag, he began to mocking his brother...

DEAN: Okay. I'll tell you what. Why don't I go get some, uh, herbal tea.

SAM: Okay.

Fine, I need you to pay attention to these words ... First of all... Herbal tea, mocking his brother, calling him a sensitive person, but that's the word that's accurate for you, Mr. Avoidance.

And then... Cowboy Junkies ... Okay, country music, with very sensitive lyrics... Poetic and corny... But do you know which song is one of their most famous? Misguided Angel. And do you want the lyrics?

I said "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me

But I want him by my side

though he's wild and he's bad

and sometimes just plain mad

I need him to keep me satisfied"

Okay people, idk if you all be alive after reading the whole lyrics here, but this is Cas here... Cas who went crazy and just flew away? He went to the dark side now bc he doesn't trust Dean? Yes Dean knowing he was off, he just couldn't stop praying to him, and calling him, and missing him. He wanted Castiel by his side, even if Cas was behavior weird.

I said "Papa, don't cry cause it's alright

And I see you in some of his ways

Though he might not give me the life that you wanted

I'll love him the rest of my days"

People... I can't with this subtext right here... Dean is suffering, but inside of him he wants to run to CAS? Like? Let me die here...

Misguided angel hangin' over me

Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory

Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead

Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead

This song even mentions Gabe and Luci and I just Can't.

I said "Brother, you speak to me of passion

You said never to settle for nothing less

Well, it's in the way he walks,

it's in the way he talks

His smile, his anger and his kisses"

We all know Dean, same here...

I said "Sister, don't you understand?

He's all I ever wanted in a man

I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night

Hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right"

Okay... After this... Romantic subtext here... And if you are alive yet... We had Sam upset, getting out the car...

Dean is pleased, he just avoid the conversation about him and Castiel and feelings, making his brother desist, and he's l safe now, in his avoidance world. Good Talk.

One Sided Love

Let's jump to episode 8x19 Taxi Driver we had a heartbreaking scene between Naomi and Dean.

Cas was gone, and Naomi wanted to win Dean's confidence, she needed an ally. But Dean didn't trust her. Because he knew all the thing she had done to Castiel... And this was the interesting exchange of words...

DEAN: You screwed with his head and had him spy on us.

NAOMI: Well, it is true that I have spoken with Castiel many times, trying to reach out to him, trying to help him. Dean, you must have noticed how Purgatory changed him. I mean, he's been unstable in the past, but I was shocked at how damaged he is now.

DEAN: Stop, okay? Don't – don't try to spin this. You think I don't know that you told him to try and kill me?

NAOMI: Hmm. Yeah, I suppose that is how he would hear it. When I learned of the Angel tablet, I did tell Castiel to get it at any cost. That's my job – to protect heaven. I'm a warrior, just as you are. What would you expect? And now Castiel is in the wind with a hydrogen bomb in his pocket, and I – I'm scared, for all of us.

First of all, Castiel is known as unstable? Okay, like he has a break on his chasis? The rebellious? Yes. The unpredictable. That's our Cas.

And Dean is trying to avoid her manipulative speech, even so, Naomi doesn't give up, and now she's using Castiel's safety as a tool to make Dean break.

Look at Dean's face when Naomi says YOU HAVEN'T WARDED THIS PLACE AGAINST US, is like he was caught... He didn't warded the place, just as he didn't warded in season 6, because he was waiting for Castiel to return... Ooohhh that damn corny song again in my head!

Look how Naomi is using Cas the whole time, he knows Dean's feelings for Castiel, and about their bond, every angel and every demon know that.

She's marking here... Your love is unrequited, Dean.

NAOMI: I know you don't want to believe it, Dean, but we're on the same side – 

Again! Naomi is using Cas! Talking about bringing him back from cold? Really? She's using this words specifically to reach Dean! Through Castiel!

She's a bitch, but thank you for this subtext.

Blue Hand Print

Remember when I said season 8 the show began to use more colors and visual narrative?

Well episode 8x20 Pac-Man Fever, we saw bastards d-jin... Like the son you never wanted? With blue hand prints? Are we in the same page here?

We know the bad print is the Destiel symbol, and the color blue is a reference to Castiel, the rebellious son.

But in this chapter we also had this cute scene with Charlie...

Charlie is a character that always exposes Dean's bi self.

We know she had readed the Supernatural books, so she's aware about the subtext, and Castiel and Dean relationship. That's why this comment is so important, because she's trying to make Dean talk about Cas... Because why would a lesbian name a man dreamy, she was trying to get into an intimate confession from Dean about his dreamy angel. But as always, Dean avoid the insinuation. He's not looking at her, and he made that comment as if hearing Castiel's name was nothing. King of Avoidance my friends...

To Conclude:

Dean was feeling unrequited and abbandoned by Castiel, betrayed. He tried to avoid conversation with Sam, while naming things related with sensitive people and songs and herbal tea.

The unrequited love is exposed by Naomi on that important exchange of words he had with Dean. Dean was hoping Castiel to come back to him, even after the crypt scene.

Charlie is a factor of exposition for Bi!Dean, and is also a truly Destiel shipper.

I hope you like this one, see you soon!

Knowing What Happened (Summer Fic Comp 18)

Summary: Logan has spent his whole life on the sidelines, watching while others had their first kisses, their first relationships, all through highschool and his first year at college he had never met anyone who he was interested in romantically or who was romantically interested in him.  Imagine his surprise (and frankly disdain) at being dragged to a house party by Roman only to fall head first into a ridiculous, over the top, dramatic crush on Roman’s childhood best friend Patton. Surely no good can come of this…

Trigger Warnings: alcohol, reference to past abusive relationship, slight angst, passionate making out, nose bleed, cursing

Word Count: 5026

Ballot

Logan was definitely a very smart person. Everyone said so and his grades throughout highschool and the first year of his college course definitely backed up this theory. Yes, he was smart.  And cold, and stand-offish, and anti-social, and unapproachable, and uninterested in other people and all the other unkind things he had overheard people say in reference to him over the years.  Not that it bothered him, or anything (anymore).  He was quite used to living life on the side-lines, having watched all of his other classmates have their first kisses, their first boyfriends/girlfriends/datemates, and never finding anyone who sparked that interest in him.  He was fine.  He didn’t need any of that romantic nonsense in his life anyway.  It was a distraction. A hindrance.  And nobody had ever been interested in him anyway.  He had made his peace with it. So why now was he unable to Stop. Staring. At. This. Gorgeous. Man?!

Logan had been dragged to this party by one of his good friends and roommate, Roman, who had insisted that he needed to “loosen up” and meet some new people.  Begrudgingly, Logan had agreed to come as long as Roman promised not to abandon him half-way through the night, but here he was, stood with his back against the wall next to the drinks table, clutching a red solo cup gazing across the crowded living room staring at Roman talking to the most infuriatingly gorgeous person Logan had ever seen.  He was a few inches shorter than Logan with a thin, delicate frame dressed in jeans and a pale blue t-shirt.  His chocolate coloured curls framed his freckled face and fell into his eyes as he gestured and laughed, bright and expressive eyes peering through rounded glasses.  He was endlessly lovely.  So beautiful and small (and clumsy, Logan observed as the man gestured particularly enthusiastically and accidentally whacked Roman in the face).  It was infuriating.  Logan was pleased to note that Roman did not seem to be flirting with him, however.  Their interactions seemed much more like those of old friends who had been very close once but had not seen one another in a while due to circumstance.  Suddenly a memory popped into Logan’s head, Roman had told him an old friend would be at this party, hadn’t he? Someone from his home town starting at their college this year? Was that who this person was?

“’Sup, Logan?” a low, rumbling voice close to his ear made him jump, causing him to slosh punch over his shoes as his hand jerked violently.

“GEEZE! Virgil! I didn’t see you there!” Logan looked up at the tall man next to him, wide brown eyes blinked at him through purple bangs.  As both of their heart rates returned to something more normal, a smirk spread across his new companion’s face.

“Sorry ‘bout that, man.  Didn’t expect to see you here, don’t you hate these things?” Virgil spoke slowly, his eyes soft and his shoulders relaxed.  Going by the faint smell of alcohol on his breath (which Logan could smell because for some reason Virgil was standing very close) it seemed that his friend may be somewhat intoxicated.

“Indeed, Virgil, a party is not usually ‘my scene’ but a friend of mine dragged me here and has since abandoned me.  How are you?” Logan replied, leaning back slightly but smiling at Virgil none-the-less.  He had met Virgil in his astronomy class the previous year and the two of them had bonded over their shared distaste for overly social situations and their shared love of space and the stars, among other things.  They now often met up to study together and chat over coffee while complaining about their lives and geeking out over various books, tv shows and films. Logan had even gone as far as to call Virgil a friend when referring to him in conversation with Roman. 

“’Am good, thanks. Hey do you want another drink? Sorry I made you spill most of that one…” Virgil glanced down at Logan’s shoes, then lent over to peak into his cup to confirm that not much liquid resided there any longer.  Logan sighed and downed the remaining liquid, setting the now empty cup on the table beside him.

“I appreciate your offer, but no thank you.  I would encourage you to abstain from further drinking too as you seem to be inebriated as is…” Logan glanced at his friend to see a lazy smile slide over his features

“You tryna’ tell me I’mm wasted? ‘Cause that’s news to no one but you, buddy!” Virgil replied, happily taking another swig from his own cup.  Logan couldn’t help the fond smile tugging at his lips.  He was just about to offer to walk Virgil home when they were abruptly (and loudly) interrupted.

“LOGAN!” Roman bellowed over the music, having just pushed his way through the crowd and stopped next to them, his hand clasped with the ridiculously gorgeous man Logan had been staring at earlier.  The man beamed at them and Logan felt a blush creeping up his face.  “THIS IS MY FRIEND, PATTON, WHO I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT? FROM HOME? REMEMBER?” Roman continued to yell, tugging the man – Patton – closer and then dropping his hand so that he could offer it to Logan to shake.  Logan took it and smiled gingerly as that lovely, beaming smile was turned directly on him.  He felt his throat go dry.

“Lovely to meet ya! Roman’s told me so much about you!” Patton said (at a normal, indoor human volume), still smiling so brightly

“Oh… that’s, eh, very nice to hear.  It’s nice to make your acquaintance,” Logan replied, quickly withdrawing his hand and trying desperately not to fidget under this man’s intense gaze.

“I THINK YOU GUYS WILL REALLY HIT IT OFF, I’VE BEEN DYING TO INTRODUCE YOU FOR AGES!” Roman bellowed.  Logan winced slightly and took a step back, bumping into Virgil as he did so and drawing Roman’s attention to him for the first time since he and Patton had approached them.  Logan glanced at Virgil to see him looking at Roman suspiciously with narrowed eyes while Roman was staring back, frankly, as if he’d just seen an angel. Virgil quirked an eyebrow while tentatively extending his hand towards Roman.

“I don’t believe we’ve met, you must be the roommate?” he offered quietly.  A dazzling smile immediately appeared on Roman’s face as he took his hand, shaking it and then bringing it to his mouth to press a kiss to the back.  Virgil immediately snatched his hand back and levelled Roman with what could only be described as a deeply hostile glare.

“HAD WE EVER MET BEFORE, MY DEAR, I WOULD HAVE SURLY REMEMBERED EVERY MOMENT.  YOU ARE TRULY ENCHANTING, WOULD YOU PERMIT ME TO TAKE YOU OUT ON A DATE SOME TIME?!” Roman shouted over the music, attracting the attention of some nearby party members, and making his enquiry seem somewhat threatening.  Logan raised his eyebrows as he observed a deep flush spread across Virgil’s checks while his eyes flashed with something akin to rage.

“Fuck off!” he spat at Roman, and with that he turned on his heel and stormed away, with a short goodbye thrown over his shoulder to Logan, and then he was gone. 

“I have a feeling you just insulted my friend, Roman.  Truly I had hoped the two of you would get along.  Also, please desist from shouting, we can hear you over the music even when you speak at a normal volume,” Logan looked at Roman as he delivered this speech, but Roman was still gazing at the spot where Virgil had disappeared.

“Who was that?” Roman almost whispered, his eyes bright and his voice awed. Logan rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to reply, but he was cut off by the smaller man next to him.

“Uuuuh, that was actually my roommate… The guy I was telling you about before?” Patton said, shyly looking up at Roman through his curls.

“Oh…” Roman at least had the good grace to look somewhat sheepish now as he turned back to Logan and Patton, offering them both a hasty smile and reaching up with his hand to rub the back of his neck.  “Ehhh, you don’t think I’ve already ruined my chances, do you?” Patton laughed at that, and Logan felt something in his chest warm at the sound.

“Almost definitely! Sorry, friendo, I could have warned you not to do that if I’d known that’s what you were gonna do!” he laughed again and smiled at a now horrified looking Roman and turned swiftly to face Logan “How do you know Virgil?” he asked brightly, and once again Logan was taken aback by his sheer overwhelming beauty.

“We shared a class last year, and now we meet on a semi-regular basis to study and or converse with one another,” Logan replied, focusing all of his energy on remaining still and not giving away his nerves by fidgeting.  If it were possible, Patton’s smile seemed to grow even wider.

“Aww yeah, he’s definitely mentioned you before! It’s so great to finally meet you, I can’t believe you’re my childhood best friend’s roommate AND a good friend of my roommate! Small world, huh?” Patton flicked his head back, an unconscious movement of those whose hair often falls into their face, and the dim light in the room seemed to sparkle in his soft blue eyes and Logan felt his stomach swoop.  Great, some small part of Logan’s brain thought to himself, you’re developing feelings for him.  That’s perfect.  Good job, Sanders, have fun dealing with that. He marvelled for a moment at how much his own inner voice was dripping with sarcasm before he noticed that Patton and Roman were both looking at him expectantly.  Oh.  Patton had been attempting to converse with him and he had LITERALLY GOTTEN LOST IN HIS EYES THIS WAS RIDICULOUS!

“Forgive me, Patton, I was lost in thought.  I had no idea that the roommate Virgil often speaks of would be the same friend to whom Roman so often refers, it is indeed an impressive coincidence,” Logan cringed at his own formality and robotic communication.  This was exactly why nobody was ever interested in him, he was no good at speaking to people.  He glanced at Patton and noticed that he seemed to be about to speak again but Logan was already feeling far too flustered and embarrassed, all he wanted to do was go home and forget this entire evening.  “I’m sure we will become more acquainted in time, however, I fear Roman and I must leave now as we both have an early class in the morning,” he lied quickly, using the first excuse that came to mind.  Patton’s eyebrows drew together in confusion

“An early class tomorrow morning?” he asked, tilting his head ever so slightly to the side. It was frustratingly endearing.

“That’s right,” Logan confirmed, looking away to hide his blush.

“……. On a Sunday?” Patton asked, a small smile playing about his lips as he looked mischievously at Logan.  And oh.  Oh dear.  It was indeed a Saturday night, and Logan had just lied to Patton’s face and he’d been caught and now Patton would hate him and –

“Haha, yeah he means a gym class! Specs and I hit the gym early every Sunday morning for a yoga class and then we work out,” Roman quickly jumped in, grinning widely at Patton and slipping his arm around Logan’s shoulders. Immense relief surged through Logan’s entire body as the intense mortification he had just been experiencing subsided a little. He felt unbelievably grateful to Roman in that moment, looking up at his friend with nothing short of platonic love in his eyes, he was sure.

“Oh right, that makes sense!” Patton laughed, leaning back a little and almost losing his footing.  He leaned closer to Logan with a somewhat sly smile on his face “You look like you work out, and I guess you’re pretty flexible too,” he winked and then leaned back, throwing another dazzling smile at them both while Logan felt his entire face burning with heat.  “So nice to see you both! I’ll see you guys around!” he added, and with a little wave he turned around and drifted off back into the party.

“Do I want to know what just happened?”  Roman’s voice was laced with sarcasm as Logan had just abruptly and unceremoniously thrown himself down into the empty chair across from Roman in the college cafeteria.  His face was almost definitely beet red and he was clutching his phone in one hand as he buried his face in his arms and groaned.  

“What did I do to deserve this?” Logan miserably demanded of the table beneath his arms.  He heard Roman chuckle.

“You see Patton again?” he asked, sounding smug.  Logan let out a distressed whine and fought the urge to flip Roman off.  “I’ll take that as a yes.  Did you pluck up the courage to ask him out yet?” Logan did flip him off this time and Roman laughed loud and uninhibited.  Logan lifted his head slightly in order to glare at his friend but offered no response.  “Dude it’s been like two months since you met him and you’ve been pining the whole time just cut the crap and do it already!” Roman demanded.  Logan huffed and sat up again, still glaring angrily at Roman. Roman raised his eyebrows at him and Logan sighed and held up his phone to show him the text message that was causing his distress.

Hey Lo!! Thanks so much for your help the other night, I couldn’t have done that essay on time without you.  Me and Virge are having a little party at our flat tomorrow night, can I get you a couple of drinks as a thank you? You should bring Roman too if he’s free! Hope you can make it xx

Logan watched as Roman seemed to scan the text a couple of times, then a huge grin spread across his face. 

“This is your chance, Lo! You should make a move on him tomorrow night, he’s obviously into you,” Logan whined and snatched his phone back from Roman.

“You do not have access to that information! History and logic dictate that he is almost certainly not interested in me and is simply making an effort to befriend me due to our mutual friends in you and Virgil,” he snapped at Roman, slipping his phone back into his bag and glaring angrily at the table.  He did not want to admit to the tiny ball of hope that had taken up residence in his chest upon receiving Patton’s text.  No one was ever interested in him, and Patton was certainly way too good for him.  To begin hoping now would only serve to make it all the more painful when Patton would eventually make it clear that he was not interested in Logan in a romantic sense, and never would be.  Not only that, but it would ruin the makings of their friendship.  He had spent time with Patton on several occasions since they met and each time they had enjoyed one another’s company finding that they had much more in common than Logan had expected upon first meeting Patton, and that they were able to tease one another quite easily allowing Logan to relax around Patton slightly. Even if every meeting was a painful reminder of how devastatingly gorgeous he was in every way. 

“Listen, Lo. I know you think that it’s impossible, but I actually think Patton really likes you! He lights up whenever he sees you, and when you guys are hanging out he really flirts with you a lot I’ve never really seen him act like that around anyone else,” Roman said softly.  Logan looked up at this quiet admission and saw that any and all teasing was gone from his friend’s face.  He meant what he was saying.  Logan sighed deeply.

“…. Okay, I’ll try but you must come too.  And please try to get through one evening without pissing Virgil off too much, okay?” he watched as Roman’s expression went quickly from happy to indignant.

“Pffft, he’s always delighted to see me, we get on like a house on fire, we’re - “

“Just don’t ask him out this time, okay?” Logan cut off Roman’s angry spluttering and smiled to himself as his friend sighed, suddenly looking wistful.

“I’ll try, calculator watch, I’ll try,”

Logan found himself the following night staring hard at his own reflection in the bathroom mirror in Patton and Virgil’s apartment.  Apparently Patton’s idea of a “little party” was to invite literally everyone he knew into his flat and hope for the best.  Logan had felt completely overwhelmed when he and Roman had arrived an hour earlier and so he had taken the (rather poor) decision to indulge in slightly more alcohol than he ordinarily would on such occasions.  And he was definitely feeling it.  He sighed and padded out of the cramped bathroom, hoping to rejoin Patton and Roman where the three of them had been conversing on the couch.  He navigated his way through the small apartment, avoiding drunken guests and couples making out (heedless of the public setting, apparently), and spotted Roman still in the same spot on the couch only now he was conversing not with Patton but with… Virgil?

“Wait really? You like Disney movies?” he heard Roman ask, incredulously, as he moved nearer and sat down next to his two friends. Virgil sighed and rolled his eyes

“Oh come on, have you seen Black Cauldron? Honestly I don’t even know why you would think I don’t like Disney,” he took another swig from his beer and nodded in Logan’s direction to acknowledge his arrival.

“Well it’s just that, you know… You’re kind of an emo nightmare! That doesn’t really go with Disney,” Roman replied, smirking at the mock offended expression now crossing Virgil’s face.

“If you think there’s not a dark side to Disney, you’ve got it all wrong, pal.  Every one of those movies has some darker undertones,” Roman and Virgil’s conversation continued in much the same vein, discussing the different meanings and subtexts of several different Disney films while Logan watched amicably in silence, pleased to see the pair not yelling at each other for once.  He wasn’t really listening though and went to take another sip of his drink when he noticed it was now in fact empty. Hmm. Did that mean he’d now had seven? Or was it eight? He shook his head to clear it and glanced around the room, trying to remember which direction the drinks table was in, when he spotted them.  Patton was currently on the other side of the room being roughly crowded against the wall by a much taller man who was looking down at him, his expression creepy and leering, while Patton babbled about something, a huge false smile spread across his face, his eyes wide with nervousness.  Logan felt rage and jealousy rise up within him like bile.  He was suddenly too hot, his insides were on fire, his teeth gritting together.  He wanted to smash something, or to march over there and spin that guy around and demand to know why the hell he was intimidating Patton this way.

“- but that’s exactly where you’re wrong because Tangled is a true example of Stockholm Syndrome between Rapunzel and Mother Gothal, whereas Beauty and the Beast is –“

“Who the fuck is that talking to Patton?!” Logan spat, interrupting Roman’s passionate rant, still glaring as the man lifted his hand and brushed Patton’s hair from his face, causing Patton to shrink further into himself and the wall behind him.   He glanced back to see Roman and Virgil staring at him with wide eyes.  Roman looked over and shook his head, indicating he did not know but Virgil started to shift uncomfortably. Logan latched on immediately.  “Virgil, who is he?” he demanded, his voice surprisingly calm for all the rage he felt within him. Virgil coughed and looked away, picking with a fraying strand of fabric on his black skinny jeans.

“Well, he’s, ehh…. He’s Patton’s ex,” Virgil sighed and then looked up at Logan again.  Logan blinked but said nothing, forcing himself to keep his expression entirely neutral. “I told Pat not to invite him, he’s kind of an asshole, but you know what Patton’s like! Always trying to see the best in people and he said he wants to try and stay friends if they can…”

“Looks like that guy’s got a bit more than friendship on his mind,” Roman muttered, still looking over at the pair, a hint of irritation in his own voice now.  Logan looked over again to see that the man was now pulling his fingers through Patton’s hair (none too lightly, it seemed) and leaning incredibly close to his face to speak to him.  Patton was visibly very uncomfortable as he continued trying to lean away, only he had nowhere to go as he was already pushed up against the wall. Logan was unsure if it were possible for him to be more angry than he felt in this moment when he heard a low growl and was taken aback to find it had actually come from Virgil rather than himself.

“I’m not sitting here and watching this, Imma beat the shit outta him!” Virgil snapped, getting to his feet quickly.  In a flash Roman and Logan were both standing too, Roman with his hands firmly on Virgil’s shoulders in an attempt to restrain him. 

“Virge! You can’t just go and attack him in the middle of a party in your flat!” Roman’s voice was slightly too high pitched, his eyes wide with panic.  Virgil’s expression grew slightly manic as he struggled against Roman’s hold, trying to push past him to go to Patton.

“Get the fuck off me, Princey, I’m not just going to stand here and let him make Pat feel uncomfortable!” Virgil snapped at Roman.  It was at this precise moment that they heard a yell from the other side of the room.  Silence fell over the entire flat.  Virgil, Roman and Logan all turned to stare with wide eyes at the scene before them.  Patton was smiling, a real, happy and bright smile this time, while his ex stood next to him clutching his nose which appeared to be bleeding.  Patton turned to a tall girl standing next to him looking on in shock as beamed up at her.  He looked terrifying.

“Lucie, I could really do with another drink! Could you please show Michael out? He was just leaving,” Patton’s voice was pure sugar, his smile charming as he patted the girl’s shoulder and then walked through the still silent crowd and into the adjoining kitchen without so much as a glance back at his ex, who was now being bustled towards the door.  The room exploded into noise again as suddenly everyone resumed talking at once, slightly too loudly and reeling from what had just transpired.  Without so much as glancing at one another, Virgil, Roman and Logan quickly made their way to the kitchen where Patton was standing next to the counter apparently downing an entire can of beer in one go.  They approached him slowly, each staring with wide eyes as he finished his drink and threw the empty can into the trash.

“Patton?” Logan started softly, “Do I…… Do I want to know what just happened?” he asked tentatively.  Patton smiled and took Logan’s hand in his own, squeezing it reassuringly.

“Oh it’s nothing, really! Michael was just getting a bit pushy and he didn’t seem to be taking the hint,” Patton smiled again.

“What hint?” Logan asked, acutely aware that his hand was still in Patton’s.

“Well to be honest he was being rather flirtatious and then he tried to kiss me.  So I punched him in the face,” Patton replied matter-of-factly, shrugging one shoulder as he used his free hand to grab another can of beer. Logan felt his jaw fall open

“Wait! You punched him in the face?!” Virgil demanded, eyes a little wild

“Yes,”

“And now he has a nose bleed?”

“Yes,”

“Because he tried to kiss you?”

“Yes! He clearly wasn’t listening to me or reading my body language so that was my only option!” Patton sighed, clearly exasperated.  Virgil grinned wide and suddenly pulled Patton into a tight hug, causing him to drop Logan’s hand (he pretended not to feel disappointed)

“I am so fucking proud of you, Pat!” Virgil mumbled, rubbing his friend’s back as he spoke.

“Language! But thanks, kiddo,” Patton smiled as Virgil released him, and then he grinned up at Roman who was grinning back delightedly. 

The rest of the party passed by without incident and Logan found himself laughing and smiling more than he had in years.  It was nearing 3am by the time everyone left, leaving Roman and Logan as the only guests in Patton and Virgil’s apartment.  Roman and Virgil were talking quietly in the kitchen when Patton came to find Logan leaning against a wall in the living room, observing the aftermath of the party and lost in thought.  He stood before him and smiled happily up at Logan.  He found himself returning the smile fondly. 

“Thank you so much for coming, Lo,” Patton said softly, his cheeks pleasantly flushed from the alcohol he had consumed, making his smattering of freckles all the more noticeable.  Logan blinked a couple of times, gazing into blue eyes, only now that he was really looking he realised they weren’t just blue.  They were sapphire with flecks of golden yellow, and a hint of green and lines so pale they were almost white.  And they were shining with joy.

“Thank you for inviting me,” Logan murmured, offering a small smile.  He was vaguely aware of Patton taking a step closer as he continued to stare into his eyes.

“Virgil told me you had wanted to help when you saw what was happening earlier. That really means a lot to me, thank you so much Logan,” Patton was speaking so softly, and standing so close, Logan could practically feel the warmth radiating from his body.  He was looking up at Logan shyly, smiling tentatively as he edged closer.

“You’re welcome, Patton,” Logan heard himself speak but he wasn’t paying attention.  Patton was so close now he could count each individual freckle under his eyes and across the bridge of his nose.  He could see individual eyelashes and count the yellow flecks in his beautiful eyes.

“I don’t know if you realise this, Lo, but I really, really like you. I’m so glad we met,” Patton was speaking so quietly now, almost a whisper but Logan could hear every word so clearly.  His eyes widened at this admission.

“I really like you too, Patton.  I am most grateful for our friendship,” Patton smiled so brightly at that, and Logan couldn’t help the fond smile that pulled at his own lips being so close to that open and happy expression.  Logan saw Patton’s eyes flick down to his lips, then back up to his eyes as he reached out and placed his hands ever so gently on Logan’s waist. “Patton,” he breathed out, barely audible “May I kiss you?” the question was so soft, so tentative that Logan wasn’t entirely sure he had even asked it, but then Patton was leaning impossibly closer, smiling impossibly brighter and he knew the answer before it came.

“I thought you’d never ask,” and with that he was leaning down, tilting his head slightly to connect their lips for the first time.  He felt Patton’s breath hitch as he captured his lower lip between his own in a smooth glide.  Patton’s hands tightened on his hips as he found his own hands moving to cradle Patton’s face, one hand brushing through soft, sweet smelling hair, the other gently brushing his cheek and settling on the back of his neck to pull him even closer, pressing their chests together.  He felt more than heard the tiny gasp that escaped Patton as he cautiously, teasingly swiped his tongue across the seam of Patton’s lips, silently asking for access, and suddenly their kiss went from sweet to searing hot in an instant.  Suddenly it was Patton’s tongue in his mouth, gliding and tasting and teasing, it was Patton’s hands sliding around his back to pull him closer, it was their quickening breaths shared between their kisses, it was Logan’s fingers tightening in Patton’s hair, it was hearts pounding with exhilaration and the whole world zeroing down to nothing but the sensation of one another.  Without meaning to, Logan released a small moan as Patton gently nipped his lower lip and then slowly pulled back to beam up at him, his breathing slightly laboured. Logan let out the tiniest laugh as he pressed their foreheads together unable to keep himself from smiling. This definitely requires further experimentation he thought to himself as he leaned down to connect their lips once more.

As the two stood lost to the world in their first kiss they were completely unaware of Virgil leaning against the door frame to the kitchen, watching the display with a small smile on his face.  Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Roman grinning at him.

“Do I want to know what just happened?” he asked wryly. Virgil smirked and shrugged his shoulder.

“I think their whole mutual pining thing just ended.  Come on, sir sing a lot, let’s give them some privacy,” as Roman and Virgil retreated back into the kitchen, Patton pulled back once more and began giggling uncontrollably as Logan pressed kiss after kiss to his cheeks, his nose, his forehead.  Logan couldn’t remember the last time he had felt so content and he had a feeling this next year was going to be an extremely good one.

And now, a patent filing shows that Sony could sell its own PS5 faceplates, likely with cool colors and designs. But why hasn’t any other company…

#5yrsago What happened to Waxy was terrible, but fair use works better than he thinks it does

Earlier this week, I blogged Andy "Waxy" Baio's speech on fair use, called "The New Prohibition." Andy got hit with a legal threat for making a limited edition 8-bit remix of a famous photo and ended up paying $35,000 to settle the claim, even though he thought he had fair use on his side. As Andy explained, he thought that winning the court case would cost so much that it was cheaper to lose for a mere $35k.

But as Pat Aufderheide from American University's Center for Social Media writes, "Andy Baio's a brilliant geek, and an artist, but I'm afraid he's inadvertantly generating a chilling effect all his own, with fair use misinformation. Ouch! Here's why."

Andy warns ominously that “anyone can sue you for anything, always, and even without grounds.” Yup. That is true, and just as true for obscenity, libel, or treason charges, and in a million other places in life. If someone slips on the sidewalk in front of your house after a snowstorm, or chokes on an appetizer at your dinner party, or objects to your choice of lawn furniture, they can sue you. Copyright trolls like Prenda are suing people who have done nothing at all. But we somehow conduct our lives and even have dinner parties knowing this ugly reality.

He warns fellow remixers everywhere, “fair use will not save you,” and “nothing you have ever made is fair use.”  Whoa. Neither of these statements is true.

Fair use is riding high in the courts. The fair uses of "Jersey Boys," who used clips from "The Ed Sullivan Show," were forcefully vindicated just a few weeks ago, and the litigious rightsholders were ordered to pay the defendants’ costs and fees. Georgia State University successfully defended a copyright lawsuit brought by greedy publishers, and got a court order for the publishers to pay over $3 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. Fair use even saved Luther Campbell, aka Luke Skywalker from 2Live Crew, when the Supreme Court held that Campbell could sample all of Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman” for use in a parody song.

But mostly fair use just gets used without a darn thing happening. Virtually everything you have ever made—including Andy’s own video presentation (check out the “Harlem Shake” clips!)--employs fair use. Fair use is practiced so routinely that it’s a nearly invisible part of our daily life. Every front-page newspaper article; every student paper with a footnote in it; every newscast is laced with fair use, and nobody is suing for the millions of fair uses every day of others’ copyrighted material. Fair use lawsuits in fact are extremely rare, and vanishingly rare in comparison with the ubiquitous practice of fair use. Even cease-and-desist letters are extraordinarily rare.

Pat's piece goes on to give a lot of chapter-and-verse on the ins and outs of the current fair use landscape.
