Thanks, Tom! I was thinking smonster, but couldn't recall who else.
HI! Vortex!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Whereas you recall how Laura dealt with Eliza Jane when she messed with her little sister, don't you?
Laura whaled on a teacher? I totally don't remember that ep.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
No way man, that Anne is scrappy.
Until Anne of Ingleside, ITA, but Book 6 made her insipid.

Laura didn't beat up Eliza Jane. The incident I was thinking of was when Carrie was punished by having to rock the school bench with a loose bolt, and Laura came to help and got all wild and violent (the illustration in the book was very impressive!)

I had forgotten that! Laura kicked A!
Okay, so Anne would have the edge in a verbal battle, but a physical tussle definitely goes to Laura.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVE than picture. She is FIERCE.

I haven't read the books since I was a kid--sounds like I need to do a reread!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
From the happy discussion it has generated, it sounds like in a fight between Laura and Anne, everybody wins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Imagine getting to do this: [link] as a living. Like, you decide there is a niche for it, and fuck, Slazenger will pay you to do it. That's some highly refined goal manifestation right there, and I feel shamed that I merely took a job someone else created.

That's a surprisingly good question, Laura vs Anne! They are both scrappy...I think it might depend on WHY they were fighting--is Anne fighting for a friend's honor?
