Someone Who Moves Like You

And Julia, who had endless words for a great many small and unimportant things, couldn’t say anything more about Abed beyond he moves like me.

Abed Nadir, you see, is an autistic character.

The payment system is back online. It was my fault; I was moving it to our new hardware, but I didn't realize there is a code change that I have to make. (For the details curious, the underlying SSL module we use was upgraded, and it now requires you to add some more options when you use it.)

I have cleared out the pending queue of payments, so that we shouldn't have charged for anything in the past 24 hours, and that should mean there are no doubled (or more) payments. Please, of course, let us know if that's the case though, and we'll take care of it!

Sorry for the trouble!

The backend system that runs payments is temporarily unavailable, and will be fixed as soon as possible. If you've tried to make a payment at any time between last night & now and gotten an endless wait, your payment is almost certainly in the queue to be processed as soon as the backend is back up & running -- you don't need to submit it again.

If you wind up getting multiple charges when it comes back up (for instance, if you re-submitted the form, thinking that your internet connection was to blame) you can open a support request (in the Account Payments category) after the payment is processed and I'll issue a refund to your card for the extra charges.

We're really sorry about the downtime!

Pretty Little Liars author Sara Shepard told CNN’s Breeanna Hare I was having a conversation the other day about fan fiction, and I definitely wrote Judy Blume-version fan fiction. Paula Danziger's "This Place Has No Atmosphere," about a girl who is in the future and her family has to move to the moon, I thought was so creative and interesting that I wrote fan fiction based on that. I didn't know that it was called fan fiction at the time because I was in fifth grade and the term didn't exist.

In The New York Times, Dave Itzkoff wrote that TV show remixing and vidding both follow in the traditions of fan fiction, musical sampling and the remix culture fostered by artists like Shepard Fairey.

( Kindle Worlds, One Direction, Superman (in comic form), Fractured Fairy Tales, Iceman )

In Times of India, Narayanan Krishnaswami wrote Special interest websites appear to be edging out Facebook as popular hangout places on the internet. Art, travel, baking, fan fiction - there is a platform for everybody with a passion.

( Star Wars antipathy, Sherlock Holmes, the royal birth, Taipei, midwestern Bronies )

In a piece on author Ludmilla Petrushevskaya for Russia Beyond The Headlines, Alexandra Guzeva wrote In 2002, she released a trilogy of books about Piglet Pete for toddlers. These simple stories were an Internet success, and adults made their own cartoons and fan-fiction based on them – some of which bordered on the limits of good taste. Yet Petrushevskaya takes this kind of popularity in her characteristic stride. “So what? There was vulgarity and swearing? That’s completely natural, it’s a folkloric reworking.”

Sacramento Press’s Johnny Flores shared I have a long list of things I’m nerdy about. Comic books, the histories of fictional characters such as Peter Venkman, James T. Kirk, Bruce Wayne and Luke Skywalker; music, books, people who make their own Iron Man armor, J.K. Rowling, fan fiction, motorcycles with sidecars, and dogs, but none hold a candle (or, if you will, a lightsaber) to beer.

Stuff’s Francesca Lee explored The world of fanfiction writers.

Finally, Atlantic Wired’s Elspeth Reeve presented A Pundit's Guide to Edward Snowden Fan Fiction.

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.
