Either Betsy is on a plane to LA to take me up on the offer, or is looking for a blunt object with which to bludgeon me.
Betsy was in bed with Mr. Migraine Drug. More the bludgeonee than the bludgeoner.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

That's why I could (correctly or not) think of Kristen, Allyson, shrift, and 'suela as BNFs
Cindy, I have a whole essay on my LJ about status in fandom online. Basically, it's relative and transient, so that someone can be a BNF in one place/forum/fandom and a complete no-name in another, and also changing status over time. It's memoried under "meta", I believe.
I was at one point kind of a BNF in Farscape fandom, back in 02-03, when the show was on the air and I was active in the campaign and posting reviews on my blog and doing a lot of writing. NSM anymore though. Like I said, things change. I think I'm better known as a Scaper in the multi-fandom LJ community than I am in the greater Scaper community at large, where I generally pass unseen nowadays. Which, ya know, is fine by me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Someday, I plan to gather up all my BNF capital, and use it for evil. Like, "I was at the offices the other day picking up some signed stuff for a charity auction, and ran into Joss. I asked him directly about whether he planned on any Buffyverse projects, soon, and he said, and I quote, "No fucking way. I'm so sick of that shit, if I even hear about it again I'm going to pull a Sallinger and never write again.""
Someday. Someday I will use it all for evil.
Just not today.

Oh! Oh! And then I'll collect up all the passwords for all the sites I've registered writers at, and I'll back myself up by impostering Fury.
Damn I wish I didn't have ethics. Damn.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
And damn it, I'm gullible enough that, when you do, I am going to completely fall for it.
Every time.

Then you must of course blame it on a mortal enemy who hijacked your identity.

What is even happening?
Cindy, I have a whole essay on my LJ about status in fandom online.
Is it recent, 'suela? I'd like to read it.

Why do I think he would get a big kick out of this?

It's in my LJ memories under Meta, I think. Called The Great High School Fallacy. The only LJ entry I ever did that got more than 100 comments. heee.

He can find the cranky in any situation.
