-- Hey, I'm on Fan History. When the hell did that happen? According to that I've only appeared on the Pit of Voles. Huh. *pokes entry with a stick*

-- On having a black name: God, I really hate people sometimes. Except this chick, who's awesome.

-- The Five Creepiest Urban Legends (That Happen To Be True): I learned about the funhouse mummy story from an episode of Autopsy.

-- The 5 Most Amazing Real-Life MacGyver Moments: Okay, these are just awesome.

-- The 5 Historical Figures Who Died The Weirdest Deaths -- NSFW, especially Herod's death. Ew, Herod's death. (Yeah, okay, I'm spending way too much time on Cracked.com. I'm bored and I can't sleep.)

-- The 7 Greatest Home Shopping Screw-ups Of All Time: I link this only because while all of the others made me wince, the number one screw-ups made me keel over laughing.

And then there's this:

That "black name" thing is very interesting to me. My youngest sister's name is Riana. Over the summer, the singer Rihanna became very popular - and suddenly, EVERY TIME I mention my sister, someone says either, "Seriously? That's her name? That's so BLACK!" or (yikes) "Seriously? That's her name? That's so GHETTO."

Thanks for linking that article - it makes so many points I'd never, ever thought about in depth.

The owner of the fan history wrote a program that harvested all the names from ff.net - that's how she found you.

When I made a comment about being on the wiki on my lj, I got a lot of comments to the effect of partly bouncy being nuts.

Ah, that's what I figured. :)

Please edit your fan history page properly.
That means, either use it to your benefit, (all google hits are good google hits) or follow the directions to get it deleted.

If you blank it, you get banned and your page left as it is.

........ I have never even heard of fan history, but apparently the FFnet bot found my fics from six years ago and I am up there as well. WTF.

Would you happen to know, did the owner perhaps also harvest names other ways? I'm not on FF.net, but think I might be on fan history: a search for my name shows:

Celeste, a member of the Blake's 7 fandom

...though clicking through just gives you that the page for that person hasn't been created yet. I gave a well-known (at least among B7 fandom) con back in the day. And I have stories on a private site only as "Celeste" -- so I wondered if that might not be me.

[wolfshark]

She must. I've never published on ff.net and I have a page, so...

Thanks for the links!

That's why Arius was labeled a "heretic" for humbly suggesting that there might have been a time when Christ hadn't existed.

Like, say, before he was born. HERESY!

...so that chick on the View was apparently there berating Arius. then? Wasn't that one of her stupids, that she didn't believe there was any such thing as "before Christ"?
