I...I think there was an auction to raise money for marriage equality? I am not entirely sure; I had classes or exams or something. But I think it was like you bid on items and then paid the money to a group, or something.

Yesss, we are invested differently, it makes it easier to learn this stuff. And also, also, who wants to read meta really? (Well I do. But like, if you were like "Hey Wyrm here's a meta essay and here's a fic, which do you want more?" I would be like OMG FIC.)

Yeah, it makes it easier to find good stuff on the one hand, but you have to look through so much of it!
