cesperanza has a post here that begins, "Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can't be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other."And, just -- yes. What she said. Because she really hit it right on the head: in a way what we're about is an alternative to buying and selling. Stories, adventures, archetypes -- they're all sold, but we take them and fold origami penguins out of them and give them to each other. Desire is commodified, but we remake it and make it new for each other.
Why should we do any of that for FanLib? Why should we do it for anybody but each other?
