I love this.

Duuuuude ...
Titlewise, the first thing I thought of was 'Why can't I stay', gunning for the maudlin. I quite like the other too, and given it's emerging role as the Great Consensus Maker, don't want to mess with it for fear of it's eerie power.

I would only hope it could be "are we done" rather than "am I done". Thread titles ought to have plural personal pronouns if they have any at all, IMHO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I, on the other hand, prefer a direct quote.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
"Am I done, now" being a shout-out to Doyle's last line is rather poignant. It kinda stops working, if it is not a quote.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm loving the Doyle quote.

What is even happening?

But we aren't done. The Buffistas aren't done. The Buffistas won't even be done with Angel once Angel is done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just caught up on the user filter discussion in BaBB and wanted to broach the discussion to the board at large.
As an extension of what is already the culture on the board, I guess I'd just want to encourage people to be discreet about using the filter.
In short, don't make a point of announcing "That's it! Fuck you psycho crackpot! You're on my filter" and flouncing off. In short, the first rule of filtering is don't talk about who you're filtering.
I think that's basic politeness and consistent with our culture, and probably the norm on better boards everywhere. But the user filter will affect things here and I just thought I'd raise the notion.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In short, the first rule of filtering is don't talk about who you're filtering.
I agree. It's just plain rude. I'd also suggest that the second rule of filtering is not to complain or whine if you suspect you're being filtered. It only increases the number of folks who will filter you.
