It's the sort of sentence that defeats itself as it's spoken.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

I hope a brazilian people read Nilly's review, because I think it's lovely. I don't hope shrift takes that bandwidth hit.
But hey, there's a reason we s/slashdotted/whedonesqued/g around here.

Dana - I had no idea what shiftweb was, is the thing.

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

Because we're so pretty?
