The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

What Fay said. Also, what's the kerfuffle? This is really the only bit of fandom in which I play, so I know nowt of kerfuffles (except that the CSI 'shippers can be scary. )

Plei, while you're around, I also wanted to ask: If I wanted to mention a nice bottle of scotch (it belongs to Wes) in a fic, what would be a good brand and age? IOW, what would cause the most angst to a scotch-lover if the bottle was swilled down by someone who just wanted to get drunk.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm. Well, you don't want to go too far out of the range of what a normal person might have heard of...

Hmm. A nice old bottle of Port Ellen might do... can't be easily replaced, and all.

what's efiction when it's at home?

Efiction is an auto-archiving script that rocks, and that several sites are moving towards if they have a popular character. I wanted to play with it.

Also, what's the kerfuffle? This is really the only bit of fandom in which I play, so I know nowt of kerfuffles

Oh, standard issue character grumblings and no-one actually listening to what anyone is saying. Fans of one character getting sick of being lumped in with the crazy fans of said character, people who are neutral-to-liking said character sick of having to keep repeating that they don't hate the character, and it all having come to a nice little head last weekend.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Glenmorangie? Glenfiddich?Talisker? Laphroaig? Macallan? I'd say anything 20 years and upwards is fairly cherishable, but I'm not a great expert wrt Scotch, much as I like it. Perhaps 15 yrs and older?

This could be helpful, or this

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Plei, I'll beta, if you like. I have nothing else to add right now; don't have a good feel for Gunn, even though he's one of my favorites.

I am writing a story which needs me to have (a) excellent knowledge of Season 7 and (b) have seen PotC. I have neither.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

This is how you do a drabble. Well, no, it's not a drabble per se, I'd guess it's around 150 words, and for all I know it's part of something ongoing. Wanted to share it, though. SG-1, J/D.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Katie, I think this is a better link, since I started reading her journal entry about donating blood wondering who was the narrator.
