Karen,
Now I understand your comments tonight. What a mess.
I'm glad I can now check out your blog on a daily basis, though! There is a positive!

Carol:
It was fun chatting with all of you last night. But you're right, after spending all of last week dealing with this fan-fiction thing on Compuserve, I'm sick of talking about it. Enough is enough already!
Do take the time to listen to that BBC radio show this week if you can. I think you'd enjoy it.
Looking forward to seeing you on Compuserve sometime soon!

Karen,
I really enjoyed reading George R.R. Martin's blog entry - some very well-thought out points were raised, and the interesting case examples he posed - Burroughs, lovecraft, and Marion Zimmer Bradley, were completely new to me. I also found it notable that, no matter where the subject was raised, comments quickly spiraled out of control. I hope you, DG, and the other folks involved in her online endeavors have an easier and, as you wrote, much more calm time of it moving forward! Thanks for the great recap.
