Can I freelance for you?
Sure. I can't really pay you anything, but I'll answer your e-mails promptly.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Know the feeling Tep. All my best crutches...uh, e-mail companions have all pissed off for Real Life all at once. Because they have Families or new jobs or books to write...pretty sad state of things, I'd say. No, it's not been that long. No, they've not missed Big News.

Yay job interview, vw!
Fay, go forth and smite him.
Teppy, you're not invisible. Tho' I certainly understand the "Why aren't they answering my emails? Whyyyyyyy?" issue.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I actually just meant to the specific freelance e-mail people. Damn them and their shunning ways!

Well, there's your problem. If you're gonna freelance for the Amish you gotta expect a little shunning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you're gonna freelance for the Amish you gotta expect a little shunning.
Especially if you keep sending them e-mail.

Oh, crap. And they probably don't have computers, either, being Amish and all. You'd think the e-mail address of "jacob@...." would have tipped me off.
Though one of the clients is, seriously, a convent.

Gives a whole new definition to "server not found".

The nuns I've met? Not silent. Downright chatty, actually.
Then again, they tended to call where they lived monasteries. I wonder whether there's an order-based distinction there.
