In case you're just joining us, I broke down and posted the e-book a bit earlier today:


THE ANNOTATED MOVIES IN FIFTEEN MINUTES1
1 Wizards


$6.25 US -- £3.92 -- €4.47 -- $7.00 AU



Meanwhile, I'm rocking back and forth because I just linked it on the[livejournal.com profile] m15m journal proper. That's the cold, cruel world out there, y'all. I expect to get a lot of comments demanding how dare I try to sell my "fanfic," for starters. Pray for me.

Oh, tell them to bite their precious little asses if they do that! It's your hard work and why shouldn't you do what you like with it? Nobody's forcing them to shell out their hard-earned after all.

Maybe next time, threaten only to post half of the m15m for whatever movie and people have to pay for the rest...

*is up to page 104 and laughing myself into water-spurting hysterics, even more than when I read the originals*

Project save Cleolinda is in progress and already downloaded.
Hopefully this will help resurrect the HD and get you set up to sparkle once more.

Just wanted to let you know, I'm 2/3 of the way through, and I've been cackling like a hyena all day. I'm in awe of what you've been able to put together, and honestly, it feels good to know that you're hopefully, finally getting paid for entertaining us.

Got it, and I'm so very glad I did.

Like I said, that "GQMF" section just ruins me every time. <3

I just spend the better part of the afternoon reading it. :D I did LOL at the "Bella! I SAID LET'S ROLL!" in Rickman-voice part. You're totally right, it's so much better if you imagine his voice.

Also, at today's rates, the e-book costs $6.49 Canadian.

People will always whine on the Internet. But I think it's a damn clever way of making money. I bought a copy myself, mostly because I love footnotes and also because your reviews are always awesome. I'd totally have bought the book already if only I could find it. :)

I took a chance yesterday with my eBay bucks and managed to NAB A HARDCOVER COPY OF CLEO'S BOOK ON eBAY! (Sorry, that was a shout of glee.) There are still a number of paperback copies at UK dealers, and shipping is not too outrageous. Good luck!

Honestly, if selling parody were illegal or immoral, Weird Al would not have a career.

In fact, parody is explicitly protected in copyright law. Cleo isn't even selling the parodies themselves, only her own explanatory footnotes TO the parodies. That seems like "fair use" to me.

Haters to the left is right. Seriously. Besides, you're not selling the parodies or "fanfics", per se... You're selling your HILARIOUS running commentaries which are 100% yours. How can people get pissy about that??

People can get pissy about anything, because they are morons.

I'll definitely buy a copy (or two, or three), but it'll have to be mid-next-week, when I can afford it. :/

Until then, I'll just have to wait... :( [Waiting's not my strong suit.]

You can't -- I found that out earlier. You can only buy one copy of a digital download on Lulu (and you can't even go back and buy another copy later -- it won't let you add it to your cart). :(

I alerted Cleo and she's going to set up some sort of paypal thingie or something for those of us as want to buy copies for everyone we know ;)

I was going to wait on buying a copy, but I read a bit of the preview and knew it'd be the perfect thing to read tonight. ♥

If we use a coupon code on our order, will that cut into your funds or just Lulu's? (Because I'm buying a couple of these things, and I want to make sure you get your money--you deserve it!--but I really don't care about taking advantage of a discount where Lulu's $1.25 is concerned.)

So excited to get it!

Got my copy, its fantastic. It should come with a warning though. I laughed so hard I scared my cat who proceeded to claw me in retribution. Also I may have to find my inhaler, my laugh is taking on a distinctly barking quality...

Can't wait for the vamps!

Got mine, reading up a storm tonight and enjoying it immensely.

One thing, though? In footnote 422, you mention catching a midnight release of Deathly Hallows, which would be incredibly awesome if it were actually possible. :D

I just started (re)reading the POA parody, and I would be lol-ing all over the place, if my roommate weren't asleep. Also: curse links to TV Tropes and their addictive nature! *has 9 TV Tropes tabs open right now...*

Heh, if you can handle Twi-hard haters Cleo, anybody else should be a breeze. I mean, it can never possibly get any better than cleoloinda. :)

Am 64 pages into my copy. I read so fast, I expected to swallow this up in no time. But the footnotes....I'm in total awe at the amount of work you put in. I've spent so much time in the footnotes, they're marvelous! Well done Cleo, I'll be telling everybody I know about it.

Our Father, who art in cyberspace,
Awesome be thy name.
Thy badassness come,
Thy will be done on LJ as it is IRL.
Give Cleo this day her daily Lulucut,
And forgive us our trolling as we forgive those who wank out against us.
Lead us not into the stupid,
But deliver us from lameness.

Amen.
