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.

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

Aw. But then I would be working for FOX.

Would you send me angry C&D letters?

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

Maybe you could be a consultant or outside contractor.

Would you send me angry C&D letters?

Although this could be fun, too.

It could be like an internet serial.

Hmmmm...I wonder if TheKristenAndAllysonShow.com is available...

There's a lot of that sort of, "man, you just keep getting darker and darker. But your aura? Beige," thing going on.

Is that helpful?

To me, it is. Knowing the level of possible darkness and trying to deal with it (and with humor), both on the characters' side and (at least the way I read it) on the writers' side (through the characters), instead of dwelling in it and just trying to pull it straight into darker and darker corners - it seems like something the vanilla me will be able to handle, and even recommend to others.

I just wanted to see this again, that's how much I enjoy the idea.

I think Tim owns the domain and Fury rents the server space for it.

But since neither of them purchased a FTP, we're screwed.

Trying to find a way to put the 'net on a slow boil in anticipation of The Inside, in a way that doesn't make FOX send hitmen to my door.

Randomly, I still really love INXS and think the theme song should be some smoldering Michael Hutchence croon. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?

Anyway, I think I just don't want to be in a position where I'm trying desperately to save something. I'd rather promote beforehand.

I'm in love, is what I'm saying. And so on my way to work I got all, "Bob likes carrots" about it and think, "hey this song reminds me of that scene where..."

And this is of course annoying to all of my friends.

But it is nice to be able to root for the home team, yes? I feel like a rabid baseball fan sizing up the competition during spring training and biting my nails to the quick.

I'm over my bitter breakup with Buffy and this is my first big crush since then, where I'm having those silly fantasies about kissing the new new crush in a movie theatre and wondering what our babies will look like. The OC, Wonderfalls, Rescue Me, were all earth-shattering one-night-stands along the way and I'm grateful for them, (notice I didn't mention Firefly, which I now realize was an unhealthy abusive relationship with a pretty boy with a pinup girl tattoo on his shoulder and six pack abs who smacked me around and then bought me flowers), but this baby is I think twu wuv. I'm shaving my legs for it, and popping Certs in case it decides to kiss me and feel me up.

Either this is an apt metaphor, or a sign that I should start dating again.

Healthy attachments, Allyson. ;)

I figure teevee can't give me scabies and clean out my checking account.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, not again.

I feel that has been my relationship with fandom in general.
