Dude, I've been in fandom for a while now. I am a member of the Most Ancient and Venerable Order of Sir Wanks-a-Lot. Our armor is made of teflon and we crown ourselves with beanies. Our honorary weapons are shiny laptops. We have etchings. We would like to show you them.
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The great-great-grandson of Prince Otto, Germany's Iron Chancellor and architect of the modern German state, the young von Bismarck showed early promise as a brilliant scholar, but led an exotic life of gilded aimlessness that attracted the attention of the gossip columns from the moment he arrived in Oxford in 1983 and hosted a dinner at which the severed heads of two pigs were placed at either end of the table.
I didn't think Paris Hilton could seem even more lame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See what happens when your country has low standards for celebrity? If only we demanded more of our wealthy heirs and heiresses, we could have celebrities like von Bismarck.

While von Bismarck was not arrested, he was questioned as a witness and there were those who wondered - not, perhaps, without cause - whether he might be the victim of a family curse.
Quite the curse -- party like a lunatic and people around you die. Quite mysterious and sinister to be sure.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's a really cool book, lovingly written. If there are repercussions here, we'll deal. Whatever happens, we'll still be proud of you and excited at your success. I thought about the identity thing myself, but the main people I bitch about are my family, and they are neither readers nor technically savvy. I can change my user name if they ever figure out the internets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, I'm anti suits on dogs, but that's HYSTERICAL and I must forward it to people.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have nothing to add to the wank discussion except to say that I'm making a muffuletta for dinner. For reals.
