 +<wrap lo><wrap lo em>UPDATED</wrap> **A STEEP HILL** Progress in the $25,000 GoFundMe campaign to raise money for legal expenses in the Dr. Seuss-Star Trek copyright and trademark suit has slowed significantly in its two months.

 +<wrap lo>**DÉJÀ VU** all over again? An ambitious new Star Wars fan film makes an Axanar-like Kickstarter pitch, leading some fans to see disturbing parallels, including how the two projects eschewed the Fan Film label in their crowdfunding appeals. Has the Axanar lawsuit affected donors' willingness to fund such efforts?  {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}}  [[shrouded destiny|Read more »]] (Filed 7/8/18 )</wrap>
