Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

[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.

Isn't that a Whitney Houston song?

Hey. New board.

Neither of them started singing, did they?

"I lived my life in shadow..."

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I forgot my other favourite two lines, "If I'm so beautiful, its because I love you" "No, you're beautiful because I love you"

This got a big laugh/groan from the audience when I went.

If I only had a brain...

"I lived my life in shadow..."

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dreeeeem? Or are you REALly as WONderful ... as you SEEEEEEEM?

I was watching the opening space fight and found myself thinking "Damn, I wish this was FARSCAPE." I didn't have to wish it was SERENITY because, hey, seeing it next week. Nanny nanny boo boo.

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

The taunted becomes the taunter.

That's true. I shall now ostracize myself. Don't wait up.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I just watched Star Wars: A New Hope (guess who's been buying DVD boxsets). I'd never seen it before. Spank me.

Apparently Lucas could actually write back then.

The evil is this way?

The New Yorker reviewer hated Episode III.

I have seen the movie and share his pain.

Why do you hurt yourselves?

I learned a great lesson from BtVS seasons 6 and 7. And Angel, beginning with "you're a champion, Angel. A champion."

When that first shard of badfic writing hits your frontal lobe, run.

Leave yourself with happy memories of a story well told.

I was there when the story began (standing in line for a long time, several times the summer that "Star Wars"* was released), I was determined to be there when it ended. But it was not pretty.

* And its name is "Star Wars" -- not "A New Hope" or whatever that fool renamed it.
