Oh, and Montoya would probably be corrupt and in Helena's pocket. But not in a f/f way.

See, I dunno. He might stay with the circus. They're his only family.

Except they didn't keep him once his parents died. Wish I had the Babs memory so I could bring up specific issues relating to it.

But... but...

How can you have Montoya that way in a NON f/f way? I mean, she's our canon kick-ass lesbian!

Writing f/f scares me.

Yeah, but -- AU. Once Bruce isn't the Bat, all bets are off.

Hi everyone! I've skipped around the board as fast I can because, for the moment, I actually have net access. It's been shoddy to gone the past day, and I can't actually fix it, or complain, because I just bogart my buddy Bill's signal from upstairs.

Not even two days, and it feels like forever. Maybe I've got a problem.

JZ, And I think it benefits everyone to air opinions, especially ones that may be different, as long as it is done kindly and with respect, which I think you did perfectly.

Not meaning at all to say that folks shouldn't post whatever, but I was fairly glad that today I decided to pay attention to the new filter (or bandwidth conservation measure, as the IT folks like to put it) and tracking that they've installed at work, and wait until I got home to check buffistas. For myself, I think I'm pretty good at skimming things that squick me (although I have learned to believe people when they say they have white-fonted for grossness). I can just see myself talking to the departmental admin services manager:

AS: Do you think that discussion of, um, feathered or religious figure butt plugs is appropriate at any time at work? Did you read that computer use policy that you signed?

libkitty (getting red in the face): Um.....

there was something i wanted to say ... but I got distracted by imagining myself in libkitties position...except that oddly, I am the sex expert. I had to explain tantric sex to someone. I had to explain why the term "fluffing the displays " might need rewording. and I knew about the early use of muscle magazines as gay porn. and I helped the guy that needed before and after pictures of transvestites. So they might believe me if I said it was research.

anyway, what I really wanted to talk about was Indian weddings. I have been to two in the US. Long , somewhat confusing if you aren't invovled in the customs, but very tasty. No one seems to pay attention the entire time , except for those in the wedding party. and everyone dances from baby to great grandma, to all the music. and on the east coast - they were only a long day. I am guessing that out here - they are longer.

they were only a long day. I am guessing that out here - they are longer.

No, they were three days. You just didn't go to the other parts. ;-}

Yeah, Bitches has never been 100% work-safe.

Most things I could get away with as research, but I don't think that one.

Actually, I meant to comment on the wedding post first too, but also got sidetracked. My comment was that I've never been anywhere close to an Indian wedding, but this a) sounded like lots of fun, and b) was wonderfully written, very evocative. I've said this before, but you write wonderfully, P-C. If your science writing is half as good, you'll have no trouble making a living at it, IMnot so veryHO.
