Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I know Annalee and emailed her to say that the story was false.
Oh, good. I was going to say something but wasn't sure it was my place, since I wasn't around back then.
I contributed a lot of pieces to the TV Tropes wiki when it first started.
I wrote the original entry for Anvilicious.
Silly spell checker makes me right click to add far too often.
I switched my language to English/UK, and it doesn't care. Bastidge.
I kinda emailed Annalee too. I should have just stayed out of it, but I couldn't. And she doesn't know me from Eve.
The thing about Gus was, yeah, his backstory was kind of incredible. But then, so is ita's (Jamaican daughter of a research scientist, can kill you with her pinky, old friend of CFerg?). Or Jilli's (would *you* believe in her if you hadn't seen her?). Or Jon B.'s (silver. pleather. thereminist. actuary. in a White Castle commercial). I mean, any decent writer could turn half of us into Mary Sues without too much effort.
What you didn't know is that "ita" is actually a series of 13 year old boys at a private school in Michigan.
As one ages out of 8th grade, a new one takes over.
Well, I don't feel *scammed* exactly, but he did intrude upon my heartstrings at one time, which was a manipulation. I do wonder about the person I spent that time talking to...was anything that we discussed for real?(Luckily, it was never that intimate, so I only feel slightly exposed, but the potential was certainly there.) But I don't care to ever talk to whoever's left...they all had their chance. The thing is, it was a hard catch because Buffistas(not generally me, but as a community,) do colorful things.
Difference is, "ita" has hired a talented actress to front for her posts, and our 7-foot crippled scientist (what was his specialty again?) Gus kept finding reason after reason to rescind opportunities to meet him. I started making bets with myself about anyone actually meeting the guy, and you know how that turned out.
Well, everyone tells me I'm a cartoon character.

I knew it!
Having actually interacted with 13 year old boys on the internet (I staff a public chat help service), I can assure you that ita is not one.

Exactly. And the actress knows Colin.
Anyway, I do agree that there are more unlikely real people here, and that other people have actually met all of them.
