It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

OK, when I get the dregs of the Buzzworthy Dark Roast out of the right side of my sinus cavity and stop laughing, I'll read the rest of that.

Always Anti-fascist!

I should give props to Allyson(the poster) for that. Thanks, Allyson. It gets a big laugh. Actually stuff like that is why I named my detective after you.

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

Me? Really?

I don't think so. I mean, I could have come up with the name Lance Steelcock somewhere, but I have no recollection of it and don't want to take credit for anyone else's phallus.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Allyson, there's a quote by you in the BRQG about how you refer to all romance novel heroes as Lance Steelcock.

Smart people can be stupid too

Hi, my name is Helen. I am fairly new to Buffistas and I find myself nervously de-lurking to ask a (vaguely) writing related question (I apologise if my doing so is in any way an imposition)

A close friend of mine recently asked me to read a piece of her writing (written for a second year philosophy class). She had already handed it in and was nervous about it so my assumpion is that she gave it to me seeking some sort of ego pat.

My problem is this: the essay/ story is, to put it bluntly, quite bad. It's awkwardly written and I really dont think it will be well recieved by the prof. (it is creative and incredibly amusing but I doubt these attributes will do much to redeem it in an academic setting).

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can be a good friend and reassure her without also being a bad friend and shortchanging her (in the sense of giving a useless and/ or dishonest opinion) I will be forever grateful (and, again, please just ignore this if I am imposing).

(I will be off-line for the next couple of hours -- commuting home from work -- so I wont be able to read/ respond to any advice until later tonight)
