There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

[kuttithevangu]

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

They lost the revolution. But then, they found sanctuary—and hope.

Telepathic warrior Talia Avi, genius engineer Miki Boudreaux, and augmented soldier Faigin Balfour fought the fascist Federated Colonies for ten years, following the charismatic dissenter Jon Churchill. Then Jon disappeared, Talia was thought dead, and Miki and Faigin struggled to take Jon's place and stay alive.

When the FC is unexpectedly upended, Talia is reunited with her dearest friends and they find sanctuary on the isolated planet Refuge. The trio of former guerillas strive to recover from lifetimes of trauma by building new lives and forging intimate connections with each other.

There's banter, bakeries, gaming, therapy, a lot of snow, and a solstice celebration.

just finished pawn in frankincense and feel the need to take a long, long walk into the ocean. human chess, secret half-siblings, an unexpected marriage of convenience, drug withdrawal, jerott blyth--- this book has everything you could possibly want

Do you think it's like a rite of passage for every new generation of xmen to momentarily feel like it's kind of fucked up to be trying to kick the shit out of a senior citizen until magneto crumples someone into a cube like a trash compactor in front of them and they're just like Oh Ok

[tlirsgender]

On the one hand I'm sure everyone else is very heavily emphasizing that magneto is Theee big bad of all time and so on and so forth the whole time the new ones are training but also. Like. Imagine you're the new new new mutants or whatever and somebody manages to actually knock magneto over and he stays on the ground for a second and you're kind of looking at each other like. Guys isn't he *really* old what if we just killed magneto & then the entire city starts shaking while he's getting back on his feet & you're like ohhh he's just REALLY ANGRY now. Ok :) oh that's bad :/ oh shit. Uh oh

AO3 should have an Annotation Mode where you can click to view all of the author's commentary and thoughts about certain parts of the work. A little comment that says "I spent five hours researching vintage radio mechanics for this and didn't even end up using it" or "this is an ancient Hebrew literary technique!" would make my day
