In light of recent

lj_biz events, I thought this might be helpful:

If you, like me, are one of those people who prefer to use an old(er) LJ viewing option scheme, you can make changes to your adult content flagging preferences without being forced to choose only among Horizontal, Vertical, and Lynx here.

I'm stubbornly clinging onto XColibur, and would sooner use Dystopia before opting for either Horiztonal or Vertical ;p

1) Here's me in the Epilogue meme. Let me know what you'll think of me when all my fannish activities are over (hopefully not anytime soon)!

2) In an effort to keep everything updated, I’m in the process of hunting down HP communities that have moved to GJ, IJ, and/or JF, mostly for newslettering purposes. I got most of the big ones, I think. But if your migrated community isn’t being watched on either of the

_snitching_ journals on GJ or IJ, point me, please?

3) I've been debating whether or not to lock down my journal, and with all the ongoing LJ drama and possible implications, I'm leaning toward locking. In the next few days, I'm going to try to friend everyone back and go through the slow process of f-locking my posts. As for

ziasudra, I'm going to leave that unlocked for now.

Current Mood: frustrated

Just want to bring you all to attention about JKR's charity reading at Radio City Hall, New York City on August 1 and 2. You can find out more information on her Web site, just click on the newspaper (the link to the text only version doesn't seem to work).

The Leaky Cauldron also has an announcement about this: J.K. Rowling Updates Site with US Visit Info; Public Reading Ticket Info

The vital ticket ordering information, snipped from the TLC article:

Tickets ranging from $12.50 to $100 will be available through Ticketmaster from May 12, 2006 at 10 a.m (which is 3 p.m. in the UK).

Telephone numbers:

Who wants to go? :)

Since not everyone is on my RL journal's flist... and this is definitely worth repeating:

Today (April 25) is Ben & Jerry's
Free Ice Cream Day!

More information here, though really, just get to the nearest Ben & Jerry's and get in line!

Note: noon to 8 p.m. at participating B&Js.

From the Columbia Journalist: NYU Group Sponsors Film Competition Meant to Challenge Copyright Law

"The Film Remix Contest asks participants to make a five- to seven-minute parody from one of four blockbuster trilogies: Harry Potter (though there are now four HP films on DVD), Star Wars, The Matrix and Lord of the Rings. Parody is explicitly protected from the charge of copyright violation under Fair Use guidelines, a provision of the standing Copyright Act of 1976."

...

"The Film Remix Contest tests this concept against current law by encouraging participants to make works that are themselves legally protected, but whose process of creation is not."

I'm interested in the outcome of this contest: how many people will participate, whether anyone will get flagged for challenging the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), what this will do as a precedent for the US's fuzzy and confusing copyright laws, etc.

Read the full article here.

Current Mood: interested

For those of you fandom people who have yet to use the new "schools" feature that Livejournal recently introduced, here's some good news for you all:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now available for enrollment!

Enroll and be a fellow schoolmate ;)

Current Mood: excited
Current Music: Evita -- You Must Love Me

I just totally signed up to go to The Witching Hour (procrastinate till the last moment, as always). I'm so excited!

Anyone going?

Current Mood: ecstatic
