AWESOME!!!
...So the other day I did that Dinosaur Comics fanart where they have feathers?
And Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics, found out about it somehow, and he went back in the archives and has posted an alternate, scientifically accurate version of the comic starting at the beginning.
AWESOME.
This is why you should always remember to put permission-to-remix notes on your fanworks. :D (Also it is possibly giving me the wrong sort of conditioning as regards whining about random things on my journal, but whatever, yay for another victory for SCIENCE!)
(Also, some of the @ replies to @ryanqnorth's twitter announcement have been hilarious.)

help_japan auction at DW is in its final phase. The response to the paper crane auction was ... amazing, I am still sort of boggling over it. At least two people other than the auction winner said they were donating extra money because of it, and apparently I made a bunch of you cry.
I did not mean to make anybody cry! I honestly thought everyone would think it was silly and it would get no bids, but I am so happy that other people seemed to find something good in it. (Someone even wrote a poem about me! A wonderful poem, too!)
Unfortunately, I didn't realize that all comments were going to be screened once the auctions were over, so if you didn't reply directly to my offer comment, I don't have any record of comments that were left. I tried to thank people, but I'm sure I missed some of you. If you're one of the people other than the auction winner who gave money because of that auction, or bid on it but didn't win, and you'd like me to mail you a letter with some of the extra cranes it in (...I was folding them as far as the square base, because the wrappers are more durable that way, and then planning to finish the cranes later; I had more than 100 bases saved up apparently), PM me an address?
Otherwise I will try to get the stuff from the auctions mailed out by wednesday at the latest.
...however, the auction winner has given me back my wish, so now I need to come up with something even awesomer to use it on. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET RID OF A WISH THESE DAYS, PEOPLE?
