conclusion of face off with Kurtz

2013-05-23T17:34:57Z

@pvponline Well. I draw a cartoon a day and they're read all over the world, which is all I ever wanted.
@AlexanderDSoSo I do sometimes wonder what it'd be like to write characters whose fates aren't available in multiple wikis.
@pvponline Don't put words in my mouth. I've said nothing of ownership. But since you bring it up, I believe fanfiction is fair use.
@pvponline Seems you think I think fanfiction is something it isn't, because it isn't what you want. I know what it is. I want what it is.
@pvponline @ArcadianMaggie I've been at this forty years, print and web. I know what it is.
@pvponline @ArcadianMaggie You don't get to decide that for someone else. We do. You get to decide for you.
@cartoonmoney Pretty sure @pvponline didn't imply you can get there [staff writer for Star Trek] by wishing, but that fanfiction has no worth but as a stepping stone.
@cartoonmoney Which, however, is something @pvponline gets to decide for himself but for no one else.
@pvponline You don't get to tell me what its spiritual worth to me is. @cartoonmoney
@pvponline Or to my readers. @cartoonmoney

[Kurtz replied, "Paul, God bless you. I’m not trying to tell you what should be spiritual to you. I’m trying to help you find MORE spirit."]

@pvponline I know you are, but I'm telling you I HAVE found it. I've tried your way. This way's better. For me.
@pvponline Never doubt that I do what makes me happy, Grasshopper.
Laptop wouldn't take power at all this morning, like last year. No other working computers at home, no funds for repairs, cuz we're MOVING
I hate moving for the disruption of routine, but also because we're bad at it.
RT @jaythenerdkid Very relevant, given today's events. #quoteoftheday #jefferson #religion #faith #freedom #wisdom #truth http://instagram.com/p/ZqBNexkmJl/
paying for fanfiction http://tmblr.co/ZO40OulemrQK
Law was created to serve justice and human right, but we mustn't forget that it's not the same thing and can be suborned from that service.

today including throwdown with Scott Kurtz over fanfiction

2013-05-22T17:29:25Z

RT @GOPFIB 8 months of manufactured #Benghazi outrage, and all the #GOP found is that the #GOP doctored e-mails and lied. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdKesoUQAi0&feature=youtu.be
RT @TrekMovie In fact sociologist @JTenuto has empirical data showing Trekkies are very social and actually more likely to be married than gen population
RT @fozmeadows Oh wow. Nicholas Brendon is now the same age that Anthony Head was during the first season of Buffy. #buffyrewatch
@AlphaRaposa @dantheshive Oh, so Steam comes in a cloud.
RT @ToolPackinMama Once the rich have suceeded in killing the poor they will be stuck having to do all their own work. #p2 #tcot Then they will die.
@pvponline I perceive a disconnect between this attitude and that of the raves you've been tweeting about the new Star Trek film.
@pvponline Five hundred years ago all people wanted was new stories about familiar heroes. Originality is a fashion.
@pvponline I have tried my own original stories. Fanfiction is more rewarding to me.

[Kurtz tweeted back, "@AKOTAS because its so safe. Your hiding. It hard to put yourself out there. What if people hate it. But everyone loves Batman."]

@pvponline Not at all. It's because the work is so inspired by the characters it cannot be separated from them.
@pvponline Salinger said, "The true poet has no choice of material. The material plainly chooses him, not he it."
@pvponline It has to do with passion. http://scarfman.livejournal.com/210090.html
@pvponline I was having stories printed in trekzines before you were in school. I know my heart and mind on this subject.

waitin to hear from LJ support

2013-05-21T17:54:59Z

RT @Radlein But seriously, @HP? "We don't care if it broke before the warranty expired. We don't care if you TOLD us before. It's expired now HAHAHA!"
Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of the last episode of Angel.
#WhatArentTheyTellingObama Soylent green is people
#WhatArentTheyTellingObama There are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Finally saw the Nimoy/Quinto car ad. It's great what a true artist can do with even a car ad script. http://heroofthreefaces.tumblr.com/post/50985730267/gyzym-blueshoesandbluemountains-zachary

RT @ferretthimself I'm watching the reveal for the new XBox on my XBox, which is rather like having my old girlfriend tell me how hot my new one is.

again, manual tweets

2013-05-20T18:00:06Z

Jeez, Tumblr, could you calm down while I'm writing a #STID summary for my mother? I mean, I know Game Of Thrones was on but wait nevermind
Tryna decide how/whether to mark AKOTAS' ninth anniversary in tomorrow's hiatus-format excuse-for-a-cartoon

How about http://heroofthreefaces.tumblr.com/post/50906890184/cartoonmoney-timelordanon-athreehourtour
@Radlein You need to use "@HP" instead of "they" or "them". Your complaints will show up in searches, and you save a character.
RT @Radlein But seriously, @HP? "We don't care if it broke before the warranty expired. We don't care if you TOLD us before. It's expired now HAHAHA!"
"[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think..." http://heroofthreefaces.tumblr.com/post/50911707895/w-hen-we-launch-in-a-territory-the-bittorrent

Remind me to complain to LJ. Nevermind, I'll remember if I have to keep doing this.

2013-05-19T20:56:33Z

RT @pvponline Really enjoyed Trek 2. But it made me not want a Trek 3. I want this crew on a television series, please.
You know, when I got out of grade school, the making fun of my name pretty much stopped. #BenedictCumberbatch
. @jigglykat Good for you. What I was driving at, though, is that it's juvenile and bullying and people on my feeds I respect are doing it.
Fastscanning through the ads in Arrow. The shows on this network all look just the same as the ads for the other shows.
Tryna remember whether I've never used iTunes before cuzza some kinda principle before I cave.
There may after all be one more 3Faces before this year's summer hiatus.
This is how out of it I am this month: Pentecost is Arthur's big holiday and I didn't even realize it's here.

Manual tweets

2013-05-18T18:42:01Z

Yesterday, when no Twitter mirror post appeared here at the usual time of 1200 US Central, about 1600 I removed and then reset the setting in LJ Settings in hopes that that would get it working again. It didn't. I shall have to complain. Meanwhile in significant tweets since the previous manual entry:

RT @dcorsetto Imagine if all the shame that people attach to sex would go away and attach itself to violence instead.
Whoa, no getting rid of The Search For Spock on my watch http://heroofthreefaces.tumblr.com/post/50652801735/squiddishly-marinersubmariner-ever-since
I may have to see that again before I can say anything articulate about it #stid
#scifichat Have just missed you guys. Was seeing Into Darkness. First impression: totally worthy of the mantle Star Trek II.
NGL, I cried as much at the Man Of Steel trailer as I did at the [spoiler] scene. #stid
Coat hangers: scientifically engineered to be knocked off the rack by anything you do to their neighbors.

Manual tweets

2013-05-17T12:47:00Z

LiveJournal has been having some technical issues this week which not only disallowed posting but disabled the Twitter mirror function for two days. There weren't a lot of tweets that I don't think you could stand to miss, but here are a few highlights:

RT @Paul_Cornell Just heard terrifying fact: mis-spellings and bad grammar in Amazon *comments* lower sales of that book. Eep.
RT @ebonstorm Diets don't work because you have been conditioned (like a lab animal) to eat foods which KEEP YOU HUNGRY AND CRAVING. #milk #madness
Saw somewhere I can't now find someone observing cynically that now there are Mondasian Cybermen who look like Pete's World Cybermen. (cont)
(cont) As if Pete's World wasn't populated with near-identical human beings to the ones over here.
Everyone's all "God's ways are mysterious" and "You can't know the will of God" till you do something against their church doctrine
This being softened and hardened Pharoah's heart on a lightswitch so Moses could level. Tell me again YOU know his plan for ME.
Argh! Thought there were two hours on the tape. Now I have to watch #Elementary online over the weekend.
