That's true. I shall now ostracize myself. Don't wait up.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

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.

If I only had a brain...

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.

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
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.

What I find slightly confusing and a little unnerving, frankly, is all the people on the Firefly/Serenity boards going "Episode 3 is great!!". Uhm. Did we watch the same movie? Do they not have ears? Have they wanked too much as children?

Hey. New board.
I'm not seeing Episode 3. And I own over 40 Star Wars books. I stand by Allyson on this.
Except that I like Season 6 of Buffy and Season 5 of Angel. But the idea, that I stand by.
Though now I do kind of want to see Episode 3 just so I can filk "Under Your Spell" with sith lyrics.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Star Wars was badfic from day one. Melodrama is badfic.
The next question: "Is melodrama bad?"
People need stark contrasts, it seems. If you can present stark contrasts while introducing the notion of "gray areas", you might have achieved something.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Have they wanked too much as children?
Ah, now I remember why I unsubbed from the Firefly thread. Such a mature attitude.
Goodbye.

Jessica, I was joking. Abeit badly. Clearly I've been blinded by the special effects.
