Greetings everyone, long time no harrass! I thought I'd stop by say hello and see what we're all up to. I'm still trying to write and I'm still spending way too much time on Pinterest *G* Before I share my latest goodies from said site, I thought I'd just flail a little about a little purchase from my hols.

In passing I mentioned to Steve I quite liked Skechers shoes, but I wasn't going to pay £60.00 for a pair of trainers....yes I know designer and all that, but there are times when I won't part with the money on principle! Well we were walking past a sports shop and Steve pointed at something, it was some Skechers in a sale! Now before I share the picture of my new shoes, I have to say the looks we got off the young male assitants as I tried them on were absolutely priceless, just bear in mind you have a 49 year old woman clutching these shoes to her chest with a cheesy grin on her face....


Aren't they glorious? they look like a Unicorn has farted over a pair of trainers and these were the result. God I love having size 3 feet, it means I can get my grubby little mits on kids shoes. I didn't realize at the time but there was a little button on the side, give it a press and they light up!!!!! I can't wait to wear them when we go to see Iron Maiden...anyhoo like I said they were in a sale, they started life at £35.00 but were now £27.00. Steve said he'd buy them for me just so he could see peoples reactions (God I love that man) when I got to the till the young guy seemed confused, he kept ringing them up and in the end he muttered something to his friend. The friend looked over his shoulder and said, "It must head office changing the price, just ring it up." And I walked away having paid £23.00! You some days the universe just smiles on you.

Right enough flailing about shoes, now let's get down to the Fan Girling, as I said Pinterest is my weakness and I found these little gems....

If Fandom was treated like sports:

I say we get the money together and go for it!


Be honest we've all done that, and speaking of which there's this....


Yup guilty as charged!

And as Supernatural fans we all know how this feels


Finally I thought we could all have a little fun with this:

*G* this explains soooo much!

Friends, Romans Fl*sters I'm just popping by to say hello! i've just spent the weekend with the totally amazing chellexx, and to quote the lady herself we had a blast *G*. While we were together we talked fic, fic that we've been reading and let's whisper this shall we....fics I'm attempting to write!!!!!! From our conversations I now have enough material for at least four stories.  One of them started life as a simple one shot, but now it has shall we say evolved. I've written notes for it and the notes are running at over 2000 words!

Be afraid, be very afraid I've started scribbling again!

On July 5th MEP's voted against the EU Copyright law and the hideous directives 11 and 13. we all thought we'd won, but actually all this forces is a new debate for other proposals to be put before the European Parliament . We need to keep the pressure up and with that in mind please go here and share theses on twitterl #SaveYourInternet and #DeleteArt13.

The next big date to look out for is the week commencing September 10th, so please contact your MEP and tell them this directive will tear up the internet we love and hold dear and we shouldn't let it go with out a fight!

I don't know if any of you have seen me whittering on about the EU Copyright law and Directives 11 and 13. Well today the MEPS voted on it, and the bless their little hearts they rejected it! They've sent it back to the drawing board to be debated again in September. Now don't get me wrong I fully understand the need for fairer remumeration, but the bill as it stands would potentially wipe out half of what we post! Hillwood gone, Fanart gone, Fanfiction a thing of the past. Everything you post on your social media would be subject to scrutiny before you'd be allowed to upload it, Just think about that for a moment and speculate where it might lead.

I'm going to share the link to the BBC news article concerning the vote, and please bear in mind under Directive 11, this would be subject to a link tax and Livejournal would probably be forced to prevent this post from being uploaded!

MEPS reject controversial copyright law.

Although if it had passed you would've had to pry Fandom out of my cold dead fingers! To paraphrase a certain Dr Ian Malcolm (this would also be banned) Fandom would find a way! I would've have sent my Fics out by email or bloody carrier pigeon if necessary.

I say this now, I'm going to keep fighting, we need to sign every petiton, shout loudly from the roof tops we will not go quietly....

You can take my memes, my GIFS, My Fan Vids, but you will never take my FANDOM!!!!!!
