See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Also, if we're putting in obit vocabulary requests, I want "gumption" or possibly "stick-to-itiveness."

Out of all the weird/fishy stuff, the bit that sticks out most for me is the tale of the sold-but-unpublished novel with the retained advance in 2003 and then again (with added broken scanner and bouncing synopsis emails) this past summer. Yet, still not mad, except at myself for never twigging at all to anything even though it seemed many other Buffistas had their pseudar on alert. Gus was/is just that charming, damn him/her/it.

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

Well, really, the biggest tipoff was him not letting me marry Seamus.

Totally implausible.

Hmm, I would have used "moxie"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How about spunk? You've got spunk.

Seriously.

Though it's sad that your perfect mate is the imaginary offspring of a confabulator.

I hate spunk.ETA: Isn't everyone's? Well, from my experience, pretty much.

Wait until you find out I'm not real, and the Phoenix software doesn't really exist.

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

I hate spunk.

Especially funky spunk?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Actually, only the Phoenix software exists. It's a sentient AI that's composing several characters on this board.
