All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Couldn't you just grab the source code from the original post(s)?

What is even happening?

sj, corrections (gah Cindy, proof-read, will ya?)

From first post, I omitted "pre-Christopher" from the following:

Parenthood only compounds this poison's seemingly seasonal side-effects. Lack of sleep doesn't help one withstand the taint of the red kryptonite, but I could still survive on a couple of hours, and have Lex Luthor in lock-up by lunch. I was just a little crankier about it, than before.

Towards the end of that, I should have written:

but pre-Christopher, I could still survive on a couple of hours, and have Lex Luthor in lock-up by lunch. I was just a little crankier about it, than before.

I omitted the word "once" from the following (from the 2nd post):

We'd recorded it on TiVo, and only tuned into it, we'd done all of our nightly chores, such that we could go to bed earlyish, knowing we were well rested, and ready to face Monday, and once my poor old husband *thought* he had the '04 Red Sox out of his system.

It should read:

We'd recorded it on TiVo, and only tuned into it, once we'd done all of our nightly chores, (etc.)

I transposed letters here:

And nobody expects an ACLS play-off game to go five hours and two minutes, total. Nobody expects Lowe, Timlin, Foulke, Embree, and Leskanic (!) to keep the Evil Empire at bay for so long, either.

It should read ALCS, instead of ACLS.

There are probably more, but that's what jumps out at me. I don't think anyone needs to go to the trouble of editing the colors into COMM. Besides, that'll be a pain in the arse for shrift, later, too.

(And thank you. I am flattered. For context's sake, I think you should put in your own comment to which I was responding. It's not like you're COMMing yourself.)

For now, however, with 700+ Firefly quotes in there, you're going to get a lot of spacey goodness.

700 quotes out of 14 episodes? That's better than a quote a minute.

For comparison, how many Buffy/Angel quotes are in there, for 144 Buffys and 110 Angels?

Sorry, I had no idea there were so many, let alone that there were more than the "Buffy" and "Angel" ones already in use.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No prob, just means we need to step up our B & A quotes.

Oh no, Nilly -- I'm not at all annoyed with you, and I hope it didn't sound like I was. As a non-Firefly person, I'm just kind of boggled at the quotes-per-minute rate, that's all. It's my form of mathiness.

No worries, Lyra, you didn't read annoyed to me. Only surprised.

Well, I am a "Firefly" person, so my explanation won't surprise anybody - it simply is that good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, I am a "Firefly" person, so my explanation won't surprise anybody - it simply is that good.

And I'm enjoying them immensely. "Just keep walking, preacher-man" made me smile a few minutes ago.

Seriously. There's just so much in every interaction. (When do we get to deathmatch Firefly?)

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

There are 1000 quotes, 720 are Firefly, and a Buffy/Angel breakdown will have to wait a little longer.
