It's over 400 megs, so I say...no.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's of course possible that if someone already had your address a copy could turn up in the mail.
I mean, if that were even vaguely ethical.

Art Crawl!!!
I started downloading it -- apparently it's going to take 21 hours.
Sigh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I mean, if that were even vaguely ethical.
Of course.

What is even happening?
While I know that there's some overlap between the two terms, a lot of what gets discussed as misogyny strikes me as more correctly described as chauvinism.
I think that's true. Damsel storylines can be chauvinistic. I think when a series does girl-in-peril stuff too often (particularly when the girl is in peril largely because she's a girl) and sadistic, it has potential to move into the territory of misogyny.
Despite "Billy," I don't think there was much misogyny on Angel, but the show and character were often guilty of chauvinism.Yeah. I agree. Billy, the character, was a misogynist, but I don't think Angel (the series) was. I really liked the Billy episode though, so what do I know.

You know a good episode when you see one, that's what.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Just watched the GF pilot. Boy, that had potential. Talk about "fighting the good fight." Can't remember many pilots that have made me sniff.

I got sniffly too, though it wasn't even for the idealism inherent in the project, which normally would hit my buttons. It was the fact that Sean, who just stumbled into this mess by accident, had to pull the trigger to shoot a man who just created this mess by accident to save himself and the entire damn city. And the guy even helps him aim. It's so damn tragic.

Both the idealism and the finale got me.
Also? I can imagine some buffy/angelverse characters being in on the frequency.
