coreopsis: hot pink guitar (music by me)
posted by [personal profile] coreopsis at 11:01pm on 11/02/2015
This is a really good post and a lot to think about. I'm all over having a transformative works policy (because...gimme! :) but I've only occasionally brushed up against the thought of fannish estate planning before skittering away in a panic. I should really sit down and force myself into serious contemplation, no matter how uncomfortable it makes me.


And oh hey, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the Headstones CD! I was so surprised and excited to get a package in the mail. And then when I opened it...well, I squealed like a teenager. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to admit it. I also ran to the kitchen to accost my son before he could leave the house to show it to him because I totally introduced him to Headstones as soon as I thought he was in the right place in his life to appreciate them (and of course he did because he's awesome like that). That all this happened in front of two of his friends...well, I'm not ashamed or embarrassed by that either. I feel I was just doing my parental duty of being as dorkily and earnestly enthusiastic as possible in front of his peers. :D In any case, we have been enjoying it very much--although not at the same time because he's hardly ever home, but I ripped it to my computer ASAP to free up the CD so we can both listen at the same time.

Thanks again! Love you!!!!! <3

HI, C! HI! ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm so glad it gave you a dose of happy! And you got to mildly mortify your son while also making him happy! Triple win! :-D

You are most welcome. It gave me great joy to send it to you. You are forever dear to me, and I will never forget that you introduced me to the Headstones -- thus changing my life forever in some really enormous ways.

And yeah, that estate planning thing is uneasy ground, isn't it? Whether RL or fannish. I keep giving it the side-eye and saying "I should do something about that." (Adulting is hard. This is not news.)
