SIGH

Okay, thanks to sg1padawan I will not sleep tonight *LOL* damn, that guy should be locked up (preferably in my bedroom, thank you) His looks need to be banned. All that serious, deep, intense look out of those eyes *shudders*

Anyway I made a wallpaper from the new Ned Kelly Poster which features OB :) Oh and the m.i.t.m. splash page also shows the pic ... man I should issue a warning, we are not be held accountable for any dehydration due to excessive drooling, and/or heart palpitations. :)

I'm a bit pissed off :s I slaved (literally) over a new chapter of my already existing series Denial Is Not A River On Yavin (Star Wars EU fic) and I posted it on a list on Saturday night and I only got one response back. Why should I bother to re-write something when it is not read? Especially when ppl have been inquiring about a full version of that series? *shakes head* ...

I am watching Space Night, it is on every night from 01:00 AM to 06:00 AM and shows pictures taken from MIR and various space shuttle missions. The music is pretty good too.
But I love the images of Earth from orbit. It calms me to know that it will survive even if the human races manages extinction.

So small, so vulnerable
Little blue ball
In the midst
Of velvet darkness

Floating in eternity
Always turning
Keeping so many
Safe
Within your realm

Raging, churning
Beneath your calm
Waters
That kill and
Give life.

SIGH

Snurch, snurch - Away

Those who have been reading in my old blog know about my ongoing battle with the leading scifi magazine here in Germany. Last year they snurched texts and pictures off my Farscape site and didn't give me credit - they even were so dumb to keep my spelling mistakes *rolls eyes*. I raised a ruckus and at least got a mention of the URL in a follow up issue.

Now they did it again :s Not texts (though some of the phrases do have the Una touch - my German is a bit weird and easily spotted) but a wallpaper I did. *sigh* This is really getting on my nerves, and no mention of my site :s
my wallpaper (original photo was the cover of SFX, I heavily retouched it, deleting the head and tag lines that ran across the whole picture)
the page where they show part of the wallpaper in Space View (copyright: Bilder Archiv, which means archive)
And here the old article from January 2002 where they used one pic and ALL my third season episode descriptions without giving me as the source.
They are really a bunch of drannits :-(

I know that the internet is pretty much public domain, but enough is really enough. Not only that fanfiction were sold on Ebay that the seller had no copyright to (on ebay Germany, and fortunately not my fanfics) but that a magazine with a reputation is doing it, is giving a bad example :-(
I'm really fed off and need to calm down before sending them an email, otherwise I will embarrass myself with yelling and issuing profanities.
