I need to icon that Jackson and Ashley photoshoot with the kiss and adorableness.

Are there any outtakes for it?

Also, ICU Conde Nast publishing! Are you going to try to "violation of copyright law C&D order" me for this one too?

Disclaimer: Everything Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
Summary: With long, slender fingers, he rubbed absent-mindedly at the bracelets on his wrist – one with his name and medical information typed in half-faded blue ink, the other stating his allergy to penicillin and another medication he couldn’t pronounce. He tugged at them, wanting them off as soon as possible...

Part I/III @ twilight_t00bs

Right now everyone's into this:




Personally, I'm liking this:

Something was brought up in a comm i'm in:

All the paparazzi and fan obsession we see over twilight now... it's ridiculous. It's beyond the levels of absurdity expected of a fandom.

Remember the good ol' days when the more... "aggressive" twimoms were the scariest thing going?

Post your memories of pre-movie fandom here.

My fandom faves: THE DREAM TEAM and all the authors' fic versions of Eclipse before it was made.

these are from my very first batch of twicons, before the words "RPattz" and "KStew" ever entered the minds of the twifandom.

lion_lamb has made a good post about the VFgate issue here. Personally, I'm recommending that anyone who has a post using the VF photos f-lock/members only it to protect yourself. I also removed my VF icons from my lj userpics, though the letter never mentioned anything about that.

Also on lion_lamb, lambly is staging a mature but effective rebellion here. The goal is to let them know that it is ridiculous to nail the fandom for promoting them (for free, mind you). I can see how the re-posting of full magazine scans might be a no-no, but what are 100x100 pictures threatening, really?

Also, if you follow my graphics community paperlike, it will now be members only to avoid this kind of dramz in the future. There will be adequate warnings and linkage posted when I do icon, and I assure you, VF will not be in the ranks of those I deem worthy of iconning.

So, I mentioned earlier that my icons have been seriously hotlinked to the point that my photobucket account ran out of bandwidth in the first 2 days of the month.

I deleted all the posts with the icons present in them because the photobucket default image is really ugly and nobody wants to see that. This includes all links to the images posted in communities.

Vanity Fair's publisher, however, has asked me to remove these deleted posts. (How does one take a deleted post off the internet anyways? One would assume the act of deleting the post would be the same as removing the offensive post.

The posts I've been asked to remove are mostly from lion_lamb despite the fact they were posted (and subsequently deleted) in other comms.

these are the posts it said contained the images:

* http://community.livejournal.com/paperlike/5010.html#cutid1

* http://community.livejournal.com/lion_lamb/6092786.html

* http://community.livejournal.com/lion_lamb/6089817.html


Interesting that there are TWO lion_lamb posts that link the images seeing as I only posted it in one...

Anyway, despite the fact that I deleted EVERYTHING to do with those icons within 12 hours of posting them due to the bandwidth issue, I received a message from the publishing company of Vanity Fair today, three days after deletion. It specifically mentions the use of photos from the Vanity Fair.com site and claims they will press charges etc. if the images continued to be used.

Did everyone using these pictures get a suspension? If no, why me?

Also, why is vanity fair wasting someone's time to suspend posts THAT WERE DELETED THREE DAYS AGO?

Seriously, VF. What the hell?

Further questioning - why go after the fans who are promoting the images? What about Lainey Gossip? What about Perez Hilton? I'm nobody. Why me?

Also, I went to post the full letter but apparently that is a violation of US law also.

Does it matter that I'm Canadian? lol

edit: I'm not actually being charged with anything. This letter is basically a cease & desist warning. Just thought I'd clarify that for the concerned.

Thank you so much hotlinkers. Thanks to you, my bandwidth for the month is completely gone 2 days into the month.

I know that many people didn't look at the icon page, which means that mass amounts of my icons are being hotlinked right now.

So yeah,

fuck you very much.

Okay, fandom. We need to sit down and have a little chat. A chat about what is good fangirling, what is not-so-good fangirling, and what is down right messed up.

( this is in the down-right messed up catergory )
