Date: 2009-03-24 10:00 pm (UTC)Yeah, my boyfriend unearthed that this morning. Snark. Nothing can be done of course, so...whatever. Damn pirates. LOL.
Fortunately I think alot of people are afraid of torrents. I know I am... LOL.

Date: 2009-03-25 01:57 am (UTC)but then, if it's possible, i still go out and buy the stuff - i just like to taste first

Date: 2009-03-25 02:02 am (UTC)I am no innocent, believe me. My initial reaction was to ROAR but lol really, I give on this one.
In a way--okay yeah--I'm kinda chuffed! LOL.

Date: 2009-03-25 02:03 am (UTC)there's really nothing you can do
and most ppl that i know always buy the dvd/cd/book/whatever after they download it anyway - we're just impatient and have to have things RIGHT NOW!

Date: 2009-03-25 02:07 am (UTC)If I found any book of mine on megaupload though (a friend found her book there) I'd kill that one. But torrents are impossible.
And hey never know--those folks might buy my next books, and that would be greatness. :)

Date: 2009-03-25 02:08 am (UTC)i must get into this "writing books" thing
for actual moneys
i has ideas
i fail at execution
(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 02:21 am (UTC)write something hot, full of torment and angst, and have a stunning and wow-inducing (same thing?) HEA even though it seems ALL must be lost. Cuz of course it was, until!!!
And write it m/m. Boys in love, yeah... Make one strong (but vulnerable!), the other boyish (but stronger than anyone could guess)...give 'em cool careers, set them somewhere way fun, and do it!
Sit buns in chair and write write write...
easy peasy!

Date: 2009-03-25 02:23 am (UTC)i can do the angst (i think) tho am better with humor/crack
m/m is a must these days
smut... not my strong suit
it's any type of coherent plot with like buildup/conflict/resolution that i lack
i might have to come bug you later for pointers
(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 02:29 am (UTC)LOL. Um. I mean, make your characters do it!!!!
anytime, I love sharing the m/m love. it's fun!
(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 02:31 am (UTC)soon as i finish long-fic-of-doom i might concentrate on some orig fic

incidentally, i just read 2 pretty good, totally high school gayboy books that were super cute

(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 02:45 am (UTC)...
title "out of the pocket" about SoCal HS QB (hehe, abbrev.) who sort of accidentally comes out (very low on angst and mostly positive reception to the news, some dissent from classmates, and a sort of boy meets boy first time thing - way cute)
other one was... "what they always tell us" about 2 brothers, older one kinda popular, younger one bit of an outcast (due to "things") more angsty than the other but happy ended and more detail on the 'first time relationship' stuff
both YA at my library, but really not bad
long fic of doom has one more part to go! wheee!

Date: 2009-03-25 02:51 am (UTC)When Nick and I were in San Francisco we went to a really nice bookstore in the Castro district, found several really good books there. I wrote down a list of some of the titles and never looked them up. But I was amazed at the variety of the books...frankly the m/m books I write are bought mostly by women, though i get guys too now and then. ]
I'm on a book-buying moratorium though...saving up for our Wales trip so we have money for petrol. LOL. but I'll keep the titles, this time.
your long fic of doom--it is not posted, yet, parts of it, is it? :)
(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 02:58 am (UTC)i can never buy books these days - i needs mONEY - the library network is my HERO
fic is posted - the first 6 and a half parts (only half of part 7 - the final - is up cuz i am having WORDing issues) but i HOPE to have it done by the end of this month (i've been saying that since december, though...)
DEF be up before the new series, or i quit
(no subject)
Date: 2009-03-25 03:03 am (UTC)No quitting allowed.
Nick and I don't remember the name of that bookstore, just that it was fun. Loved the Castro District.
Did not love the Tenderloin District....

Date: 2009-03-25 11:44 am (UTC)Torrents are those illegal uploads people do. I believe it is not illegal to use torrent, but it is illegal to upload and download copyrighted material (like Red), and music, and movies and tv shows, etc....software...it can also be a hotbed for viruses. User beware! Really impossible to stop though.
If I found it on megaupload, mediafire, etc., I could do something about it as those companies have the ability to zap things.
