Yeah, I think a barrister is basically a litigator and a solicitor isn't.

Oh, ok. Cause even being a Christie, Marsh, and James fan I've never been clear on that.Thanks.

Erika, This should help. Though it is a little snarky.

This might be better.

What every fanfiction writer needs to know.

t winces so hard her face falls off

I have a sudden urge to challenge people to use as many of those phrases as possible in a fanfic. There should be a Harry Potter fic that uses the phrase "Roasting the Broomstick"; something from Smallville featuring Lex with his "Motor Running"; and a Firefly story in which Mal uses as list like that as a way of insulting Inara without ever using the word "whore". Also an AtS story where Wesley or Lorne discovers the use of the word "Angel" listed on there, and decides to act on the information.

And yet it's incomplete. It's missing "pego".

You'll have to e-mail the owner, amych. (Oh, the things that fandom teaches us. Edit: I mean in the way of swearwords, rather than e-mailing people. I learnt to e-mail random people I didn't know with whatever bit of information or comment before I joined fandom, though it has to be said that fandom hasn't exactly stopped me carrying on with the practice.)

Spain gifts: Do you want considerate, well-thought out gifts, or cheap, stereotypical, lazy-dad-bought-it-at-the-airport gifts?

Toledo is well-known for producing swords, battleaxes, etc, which many tourists buy. It might add a touch of irony if Hank gives Buffy a sword--though I can't rationalize why he would think to get her one.

Someone mentioned the damascene jewlery, which is lovely and is all over Toledo.

You can get some pretty pottery, ceramics, and tiles in southern Spain. Blue and yellow is a favorite color scheme.

Art stuff from one of the museums? Poster/book/print? Picasso/Dalí/Goya/El Greco/Velasquéz/Miró. Might be funny if Hank picked up a Dalí poster for Dawn without really looking at it, and it turned out to be one of the "enormous genitals" sketches.

Cheap and thoughtless: castenets, flamenco dancer dolls (especially if he thinks Dawn's still a kid), España t-shirt, cheap stuff with bulls or windmills on it.

Or he could do what my mother did and bring back a box of Valencia oranges and "forget" to mention it on the customs form.

And yet it's incomplete. It's missing "pego".

BASTARDS!

There are better sites out there, without annoying frames or backgrounds. I'll check my bookmarks.

Thanks in part to the latest and greatest fandom kerfuffle, I've given in to the wonder of eFiction.

Big Sexy Man, a Gunn resource, will be officially opening on Sunday, so now's your pre-release chance to get in on the ground floor, as it were.

I'll be adding some sections (like betas and links) soon, and would love stories, beta volunteers, whatever.
