Well, I view every single person here (including myself) as part of that fandom. Of course, people here can generally spell, however.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

two, assuming that noting relevant details to properly evaluate the movie can *only* be done by "loyal browncoats"
To be fair, I think it's saying that this *will* only be done by them, not that it *can* only. But I'm pretty much with you on the rest of it. It doesn't really annoy so much as make me cringe a little, though.

So I should stop calling shrift "shrift"?
That would be odd. Although if you want to square quote me all next weekend, I'll laugh.
Shrift's real name is shrift, and I don't care what her driver's license says.
It says I'm F and 5'4" and have brown eyes that need corrective lenses. All true!
That statement isn't pretentious, I think, it's just fandomly.
Making excessive claims of value isn't unusual to fandom. Or anywhere else, really. I've certainly done it myself. Sometimes it rubs me wrong, like a fannish call to arms that sounds like poetry I wrote when I was 15 and convinced nobody understood my secret pain.
Yeah, like that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the sort of sentence that defeats itself as it's spoken.

Allyson, it was somebody here who suggested it should be put in front of JW's nose.
That was me, last night, and (I went back and checked my post) I said "Joss needs to see this," in the sense that, if someone raves about your work, *really* gets it, it would be nice for them to know.
I didn't mean Whedonesque it, or e-mail it to Joss, or anything specific. Otherwise, I would have said so, in specific terms.
(And even if I had said so, in specific terms, I don't speak for Nilly or this board or Shrift and her bandwidth.)

I don't think linking something from Whedonesque is in any way dodgy. Traffic wise, it'll be a few hundred hits. People there enjoyed the review. Apparently we're the people wanking about the quote marks and other peoples phrasing of love for something (aka fandom).

Actually, I get thousands anytime Whedonesque links to anything on my site.
People there probably didn't focus on the quote marks, because Nilly is a Buffista. I think it makes sense that Buffistas comment on it. Others don't know her. Buffistas do.

It's jacked with our usage levels -- that's why we're usually cited indirectly.

CantStopTheSignal.co.uk is running at 9000 hits from Whedonesque this month, but that was a link for the DVD information.. It really depends on the potential interest for a story, I doubt it'll be much traffic in this case (not meaning to dismiss the quality of the work because I think Nillys review is excellent - it deserved being read by people, but there have been many reviews).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yes, but regardless of what you think about how much traffic it will get (and you certainly have more experience with that than I do, since I have...none), shrift is a Buffista, and shriftweb is her site, and there's a lot of stuff for Buffistas and the fandom at large on that site. It just would have been nice to ask.
