Here you will find a compilation list of the non-Legacy stories in the Squeaky Clean Universe. There will be a separate list for the Legacy chapters.

The links go to the Dreamwidth account.  Right now I don't have linkbacks to my LJ entries either for commenting, or to Boolprop, should you choose. A work in progress, you may call it.

Current work:


Squeaky Clean Renaissance: )


Completed work:


SC Opera and Killers' Asylum. )

The co-written slash spinoff between DoctorSupremeNerd's The Vetinari Dualegacy. This is its one comm, currently hosted LJ.  It has much more mature content than SC; be warned.

Reaper Child and Dr. Death: now at over 100,000 words long.

The fiasco continues

[personal comment by [info]profbutters ] Oh, for crying out LOUD. Isn't everyone sick of letting oil companies write oil legislation, banks write bank legislation, and entertainment industries write copyright legislation? Don't make me go all Mad Eye Moody on your ass.  CONSTANT VIGILANCE! And don't blast your own buttcheek off with your wand!

(Although I have to admit, BBC Sherlock's Mycroft probably would have drafted this one.)

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA?  ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Essential ACTA Resources

  • Read more about ACTA here: ACTA Fact Sheet
  • Read the authentic version of the ACTA text as of 15 April 2011, as finalized by participating countries here: ACTA Finalized Text
  • Follow the history of the treaty’s formation here: ACTA history
  • Read letters from U.S. Senator Ron Wyden wherein he challenges the constitutionality of ACTA: Letter 1 | Letter 2 | Read the Administration’s Response to Wyden’s First Letter here: Response
  • Watch a short informative video on ACTA: ACTA Video
  • Watch a lulzy video on ACTA: Lulzy Video

Say NO to ACTA. It is essential to spread awareness and get the word out on ACTA.

Some Sherlock Holmes musings

  • Jan. 22nd, 2012 at 7:08 PM
I worry
Yeah, I'm procrastinating.  I should have been done with SC Ren 6 ages ago.  What's more, I also should be starting revising a paper.  I have a hard deadline of February 2nd.  AND I need to work on London Quarter stuff and get it in tomorrow, plus in less than an hour, I'm going to be watching PBS (last week's Downton + this weeks + Sherlock.) So here is something completely different.

I'd love your input, but please please please remember I haven't seen Season 2 of BBC Sherlock, so try not to spoil me!

Saw A Game of Shadows:

Review, comments, geeky complaints )

Anyway, I saw it, I feel satisfied that I saw it, and now I can go back to waiting for Sherlock 2 again.

Speaking of BBC Sherlock, and trying not to spoil me for Season 2: what's the logic behind Mycroft/Lestrade (Mystrade)? Do they ever even meet?  I watch a comm called [info]brother_mine, and Mystrade is easily the most popular ship. Far be it from me to complain about shipping: het ships, slash ships, implausible ships, crack ships, it's all good. But I do not get Ships That Pass In the Night. I don't hate them; I just don't get them.  On my other LJ, [info]moonyprof, I watch a Neville community whose name escapes me.  One author absolutely loves Bill Weasley/Neville Longbottom.  It's clearly her favorite ship: she writes tons of drabbles.  Because it's always presented in an "it goes without saying" way, I feel as though I've wandered into the tail end of a conversation or am watching a Secret Society handshake.  Everyone seems to know what this is about except for me.

Anyway, if someone could explain what Ships That Pass In the Night are all about, I'd really like to know.

social change yay
What it says on the label. Wikipedia will be dark from midnight EST on the 18th to midnight EST on the 19th. I'm glad they're joining in.  People will notice if it's Wikipedia.  Now if Google gets in on it--

damn it, I had better get done with SC Ren before midnight Wednesday.

EDIT:  Google just did.  I do plan on being done, or I will try to, but after that I may not be able to or I may simply wait a day to indicate my opposition.  

Yeesh, I am going into withdrawal already, no lie.

Breaking news: White House Will Not Support  SOPA, PIPA

ALL RIGHT! Without the President's signature, this sucker is NOT going to become law!

If you scroll down, the White House does say that it takes online piracy seriously and that something has to be done about it, but that something does not include DNS blocking. 

Here's the actual statement.   I think it's cool that it's a response to an online petition, although I'm sure Google and Facebook's opposition had something to do with it.  And they didn't say they would NEVER approve of this, but it's going to have to be substantially reworded and in the meantime, it has had a serious spoke put in its wheel.

So probably I should not be dancing up and down quite yet, but I am.

The White House wants ideas to help crack down on piracy, etc.  Here's mine: make it freaking easier to get hold of content legally.  Sheesh, it shouldn't be necessary to go to a third party offshore site to get fixes for games. There ought to be a way to play a game for a few hours, even just an hour, to see if you like it. What about movies that are only available used on VHS? Get with the 21st century, Ted Turner, EA, and SONY.  Figure out a way to market your product legally. Stream it or something, instead of trying to protect the stuff because you can't be arsed to retool. Just my opinion. If I can pay for it honestly, I will, and I don't think that's just me.

Anyhoo, lookin' good, and if you did something, y'all ought to be proud!

Happy birthday Marina and De!

I've wanted to do this for ages.




De, you get yours early.  And I think every other one of the January and February babies can enjoy this as a birthday gift too, at least to enjoy the Awesome of Spencer Fitzhugh.


It's a whole musical number! )

Sim_spiration prompt: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

This follows immediately after "Stage Fright" and "Six Impossible Things Before Dinner."
