On Copyright

The copyrighted works used in my fanworks are used legally as allowed under "fair use" law

"The use of the copyrighted material is justified as fair use under 17 USC 107 because it is (a) transformative and (b) does not adversely affect the market or potential market of the original work or derivative works. The central purpose of this investigation [into purpose and character of use] is to see ... whether the new work merely "supersede[s] the objects" of the original creation, or instead adds something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the first with new expression, meaning, or message; it asks, in other words, whether and to what extent the new work is "transformative." Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 579, 114 S.Ct. 1164, 127 L.Ed.2d 500 (1994), Zomba Enterprises, Inc.; Zomba Songs, Inc., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. Panorama Records, Inc., Defendant-Appellant., 491 F.3d 574 (6th Cir. 2007)."

It's okay, I dunno what it means either

Why do I pay for this again?
Welcome to Fizz and Vinegar, a personal relic of the days when having your own website (with domain name and everything, guys!) was the height of internet respectability and made you the envy of those poor souls wrangling with sites like Tripod and Angelfire. This site is now a dusty repository of stuff that I could reasonably stick up somewhere else for free. It's my own beloved albatross. ♥

So, like, what's here, then?
The most likely reason you've found your way here is for the vids. There are both download links and YouTube links for most. The fic isn't archived here, but there are links to the AO3 where you can read my few attempts. There are also some old icons for completeness' sake along with some other visual art-like things, a rip of a Vancouver Canucks dvd that had an extremely limited run, and a bit about my greatest hobby (after fandom), World of Warcraft. There's also a me section where you can find links to my various internet haunts.

Feel free to take, copy, post, rip up, snuggle with, spank, remix, remake, reimagine, have high tea with, illustrate, fic, embed, rec, denounce, or shred into tiny pieces to make better anything I've posted on this site. Have at it; you don't need to ask.

I YouTube. You too! You do YouTube too!

I'm not usually one for making public recs because I'm in no way objective and have the artistic sensibility of a barnacle, but I often run across videos I wish I could get more people to see, just because they made me smile. THIS IS MY CHANCE! Oh ho ho ho!

Kountry Gentleman by Triskal
Fandom: Magnificent Seven

Ah, Ezra Standish. This fine, fine figure of a man makes the Old West look good. And by good I mean like strawberry cheesecake, excuse me while I lick the plate, holy carp. The clothes alone!

Meet Me in Azeroth by Diamond Town
Fandom: World of Warcraft

A tongue-in-cheek love song for the place where "souls can be together." Ah, World of Warcraft, you truly will be in our hearts forever. Foreeeveer, ooooh.

Beauty and the Beast Fruits Basket Trailer by KatneySK
Fandom: Fruits Basket

How cute is this? A remake of the trailer for Disney's classic tale using clips from Fruits Basket. Naturally, Kyo is the beast.
