Oh, look. FictionAlley seems to think that their need for server fees and shit is more important and worthy of charity dollars than... well, pretty much anything else, it looks like. Wow. I guess nobody told them that there might be more important things in the world than porn.
If you want to vote on Pepsi's site, please pick a different charity (by which I mean an actual charity, not a fan site who can't be assed to do a fund-drive among their own members to pay for their server fees). Want to do something for arts and culture? Check this list. Want to pick a charity that helps with education? Look at all of these. Or there are causes for the environment, or food and shelter, or health>. I'm pretty damned sure all of us could find something more interesting and important than helping out a fan-fiction site.
There's a thing on there, top of the health page, for students supporting brain tumor research. Competing against groups trying to actually do something to better the world in order to get money for your fanfiction site is just plain wrong, I'm sorry.
And if you feel like reading more about this, the email exchange thatnextian had with them (copied in this entry here) is certainly an eye-opener re: the level of rationalization these people have about their entitlement. Wow.

Wow.I can't seem to find the right tone for my NaNo project. Usually this sort of thing sorts itself out by about 4,000 words in, but I'm still struggling this year. I just can't seem to get comfortable in how I'm telling the story - nothing sounds right. ARGH.
