Currently watching my inbox like a naturalist camped out in a hide, waiting for a sighting of the lesser North American lawkaren.

What kills me is that Dawn clearly gave my name to her lawyers as Someone To Contact, and then they duffed it. Like, what happened here? Did she just assume I'd said something even remotely actionable? Did they only realise I hadn't *after* sending their letter? Whomst knows??

And when I say the incorrect C&D was "recalled," what I mean is I received a one-line email from the same lawperson who sent it saying "[lawperson] would like to recall the message [title of original email]". Like. Neither law nor email works on the takesies-backsies principle!

Is it being recalled because of the incorrect information? Because they realised I hadn't said anything they could even pretend was actionable? Because they want to send a different type of C&D? Unclear! But sure, Jan, whatever. Recall away!

Either way, love to have my private experience of her unprofessionalism and intimidation tactics recreated for everyone to see in the public sphere! Genuinely, it's so nice to know I wasn't overreacting in my head, that she is actually Like This!

Credit where credit's due, though, it takes a particular type of person to look at the absolute crabfuckery that is Recent Attempts By Literary Figures To Send C&D's To Other Literary Figures, Especially Ft. Social Media, and decide that this is the best way to proceed.

I mean, sure, the RWA imploded because social media posts were used to try and justify Why Calling Something Racist Is Worse Than Racism, Actually, and then there's the omegaverse lawsuit, and the cocky trademark lawsuit... but sure. This will totally clear Dawn's name!
