Wonders Never Cease...

The guy who was selling fanfic without permission finally responded, and actually apologized. Amazing. Here's a little snippet from his letter (which tends to ramble and make excuses and invite pity, but that's beside the point...):

"I really do apologise for causing so much annoyance and anger. I did not take as seriously as I should have copyright issues, and did not appreciate at all the other problems possibly caused by the reaction of original character creators to money however little being earned by use of their characters."

I didn't think he would respond, so I have to admit I'm slightly more kindly disposed toward him now. Now I just think he's an idiot instead of an asshat. ;D

Icon irony

There is something weirdly ironic about Hunter S. Thompson and Sandra Dee both departing this earthly vale on the same day.

60's Icons, both of them, but in vastly different ways.

RIP
