Teppy, you're not invisible.
I actually just meant to the specific freelance e-mail people. Damn them and their shunning ways!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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".

Maybe the vow of silence got updated to include modern technology...

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The nuns I lived among were very chatty, and it was definitely convent not monastery. Vows of silence not so prevalent. Even Trappists never actually required it.

OK, back on hold with Dell...seriously, could someone please smite them for me?
But wait, then I suppose then it would take them even longer to pick up my call...crap. Someone ready the smiter, and I'll let ya know when to let fly...K?

Smiter in the box, practicing its swing.
