Regarding my comments in my previous post

Re: fandom_scruples:

1 - Password protections are simply for the parents' peace of mind and don't work.

2 - Children who 'stumble' on porn hit the back button. Note how quick they are are to get rid that sexy pop-up in LiveJournal. Most kids who read adult content are actively seeking it. And this is nothing new.

3 - Children should either not be allowed to view TV/Access the internet until they're older, or be taught your values and why you feel certain ways about certain materials. They do listen.

4 - It takes a certain hubris to attempt to rewire the world to suit your children yourself. When you force your will on others, for any pallid excuse, you almost always piss people off.

One can either cover the entire surface of the world with leather, or one can wear shoes on ones own feet. ~ Shantideva

The latter is far simpler.

Teach your kids. Because the world will not change to suit you. That isn't how it works.

( The long version. )

The Black List... I require witnesses

More specifically, I require witnesses to testify to my 'character' as I have turned myself in to theblacklist.

I am doomed.

Annnnd... the winner is.. the favourite Aspen story

As expected with a writer of Aspen's versatility (cough), write-ins were still pouring in up until the 11th hour. It was still a close race between Mockingbird and Daisy!Draco, but the winner is:

If That Mockingbird Won't Sing

... with 14 votes.

Daisychain!Draco came in a close second with 11 votes.
Though the write-in Quicksilver put up a valiant fight in a late-starting surge with 6 votes.
Confection Carnage came in fourth with 4.

And the write-ins! Just to display the sheer range, I'll put in the pairings:
You're Sixteen, (You're Beautiful, And You're Mine) garnered 3 votes. Harry/Sirius
Bittersweet 2 votes. Harry/Cedric.
Close Kept 2 votes. Harry/Cedric
Just A Boy 1 vote (with a wrestling over the options). Harry/Snape.
Into The Fire 1 vote. Harry/Snape.
Eight Days A Week 1 vote. Draco/Arthur.

Our next victim - er - candidate: Sushi!

Let move along to another prolific author, the only one on the list who's collected works will probably include a 12-volume set on the same story (wink): wikdsushi.

Remember that amanuensis1 did open that pandora's box of write-in votes, which I will add as I notice them. The fics I select for the vote are arbitrary, but if you want to beat up one story in favour of another, remember to take it outside.. to hpbnfdm_lives where that sort of thing is encouraged. Besides. wikdsushi will attack you with Teefs.

Civil War
In Academia
The Beast
The Last Dance (Drama section)
The Consequences Of A Weary Mind (Humour section)

Note: These links will all take you to the same place.

The write-ins have already begun:
Fire Burn and Cauldron Double
Shedding Skin
Two
Welcome to my Nightmare
Flight

(Snickering still: I have whiplash from Sushi's nomination.)
ETA: Oh. Right. Don't forget to tell us why you're voting for whichever fic.
ETA2: Ha. And I thought this wouldn't have as many write-ins.
ETA3: I thought you should know that the steamcleaner infomercial I'm watching says - "not all steam is created equal."
I think that needs more of a sense of authority. Ah. I know --
"Confucius say, not all steam created equal."

The votes are in, and the results are (drumroll please) Here!

Other votes are Maya, Amanuensis, Rushlight, Anna, Aspen, Cybele, and Cassandra Claire.

He said it again -

So wildernessguru once again said I'm a lot like Belanna Torres, the firey half-Klingon in Star Trek Voyager.

He means that in a good way. ;)
