27 bits of personal data
May. 23rd, 2007 11:32 amIF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 27 (I removed the 28th, which merely asked you to pass it on) things about you. I'm putting my answers here. (Also removed additional burble. Fill this out and post it if it amuses you. No pressure. I am avoiding doing work, while I wait for a headache to ease, so I'll probably tell you more than you want to know.)
Actually, it tells you something about me that I have NOT done this the way everyone else does. I did not put up the questions for you to answer in comments, I put up my answers in the post. You know why? Took me a minute to figure it. I hate asking other people questions, but I quite like answering them. Ok, I'm odd.
( I am not doing this with any one person in mind. I'm telling the truth at all times. )

POW fic stats
May. 23rd, 2007 06:40 pmThis morning they were down to 5,127. I forgot to post because I had house stuff to do, so I figured I'd check again just now. They're down to 5,104. If I were them, I'd be getting nervous along about now.
Am all sore from chipping out broken thin brick, peeling up vinyl tiles, releveling floor (probably still not right, but I tried), removing a bit of wood paneling & a piece of wallpaper (once you start destruction it dominoes.) So maybe will bathe instead of writing Pink Guy/Blue Guy slash. But I'll be thinking of them. (Only no because my bread maker and gluten-free goodies arrived. Unpacking and admiring is all I'm doing now. I may call the bread maker Moloch. Because that is how I reasoned it would look.)
EDIT: I looked at POW's forum, since they no longer have a FAQ to look at and found a couple words from the Chief Weasels. ( Read more... )
Further EDIT: I keep forgetting that to see the full count of stories, you have to turn off the adult filter (it's tiny white letters against blue, hard to see). So they have 5646 fic including 541 rated 'M' which I suppose means mature.
The TOS is up again (or was it ever down? I think it's been slightly changed, but it's hard to remember). POW says they'll only use submissions 'in connection with' the website. They still have writers as solely responsible. As I understand the wording, by clicking that you agree to the TOS you are swearing that you either own the rights, have obtained permission for the rights, or can prove that it's a 'fair use' under copyright laws. (They are still making no acknowledgement that any other than US laws may apply. I think that the WORLD in World Wide Web hasn't sunk in with them).
This is nicely clear. Pit of Weasels expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with Submissions. I wouldn't mind if it was just that, but the bit where you swear that you have the rights is *really* setting fen up. I'm not a lawyer, but I think giving false testimony has been a no-no for millennia.
They still mention 'fees' so they really do hope to charge for the privilege of Posting to POW or maybe for the privilege of reading? Either way, I never knew weasels had such huge huevos.
