Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The slug for the Great Write Way says

Discussion and workshopping of original fiction.

Since poetry and essays are also posted there, and since on a few occasions I've seen people question whether they'd even be allowed to post a poem there, I'd love to change it to

Discussion and workshopping of original writing.

Any thoughts or objections?

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

I don't think that's BBaBB so much, since it's not technical.

Me, i got no problems with it, but I'd bring it up in B'cracy, since it has a different audience.

Done. (And will I never stop getting the two wrong?)

If I only had a brain...

ita, I just got a Message Center page with no links to the Bitches or Natter threads. Forwarded to you directly.

Thanks Betsy. I'll have a careful look at that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Just a note - I had some access issues a few moments ago (6:52 CST) and got the fatal error message onscreen - which I stupidly forgot to save for reference purposes. Things seem to be working OK for the moment after that little hiccup.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I got it too. First things were running slow, then server error, then

"July 20, 2003, 4:51 pm Heather Alayne[24]: ERROR [2] mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) line 74 of file /home/bufforg/public_html/classes/giles.php

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?"

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I got the same error at 8 pm EST.
