Fandom News of the Day: Amazon Unveils a Fanfic Publishing Platform
Beginning in June, fanfiction authors will be able to self-publish their works from selected partner franchises via Kindle Worlds. Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars are already on board with the project and more are expected to be announced the official launch. However, authors aren’t exactly jumping at the chance to turn their works into cash: by using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster. The platform also will not publish stories containing pornography, excessive use of brand names or crossovers, so your Superwholock mpreg (male pregnancy) stories will just have to stay on Tumblr.

Remember that time we married Gary? And he wore his wide-collared shirt with the chipmunk embroidery? Man that was a good day.

The Official Unofficial Library Journal Tumblr Survey
Hi everyone!
I want to know more about you, folks who follow (or just read) the Library Journal Tumblr.
It’s just 8 questions, none of them required, which means you can answer as much or as little as you like. 7 are multiple choice. Super easy!
I’d love to hear from you. Take the survey now!

Send me your library card number; I’ll put random surprises on hold for you.
This is a brilliant idea for the teen who doesn’t know what to read once you’ve developed a rapport with him or her.
I would do this.

So I’m officially moving to Charleston, SC in June with my fiance. Yay!
Just wondering if there are any South Carolina library folks out there. I’d love to hear about your libraries and/or favorite places to eat in Charleston.

"When people are telling others what to do during these collective gasps of horror and disbelief, what we ultimately seek is the illusion of control in circumstances that are desperately beyond control."

- If you have extra blankets and live near the Boston Common, there are a LOT of cold runners being corralled there [@ajsfour]
