I call dibs on beta!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I was pretty sure Tanner called him Jack once in the interview room, so that's well and good. Man, I could watch Boyd watch Tanner all day long...
I blame you, too.

Yay, blame!
I have both series 1&2 on DVD, so if you're balking at the purchase, feel free to give me a holler and I'll be happy to loan them to you.

The price isn't bad, actually. And since I know I like it, I have no problem purchasing it.
I'm balking at the whole "I'm not British enough to write this!" problem. Heh.

I bet we can find people to help with vetting CID (or Special Murder Unit) details.

A Friendly Note To Fic Writers, from Me:
Think very, very carefully when choosing your pseudonym.
- You may change fandoms, and won't you feel stupid when PikaPikaPika is posting long, angsty West Wing deathfic?
- Any suggestion that you have any sort of relationship, romantic, carnal, or spiritual, to any characters in the show will push you into the Mary Sue bin. It takes a lot to live down SpikesLittleCutie. Especially when you start writing Mourning Becomes Electra fic.
- If your name has numbers in it, it isn't original; AOL or LJ or Hotmail is trying to give you a gentle hint. If you put the numbers there to be original, please don't. My typing fingers thank you.
- It is a kindly thing, once having picked a pseudonym, to carry it with you if at all possible. Some of our heads explode trying to keep track of fiction written by SpikesLittleCutie, E-mail address hatewhedon@aol.com, LJ godimdepressed.

Also I want a pony. A white pony.

It is a kindly thing, once having picked a pseudonym, to carry it with you if at all possible.
You would be surprised. (a) technologies move so quickly, and (b) some people pseud 2-3 times over in a single fandom. I know people who have re-pseuded for safety or privacy, but a couple of others who just strictly believed that they needed a different pseud for every subgenre they wrote in. I thought it was insane, but, what do I know?
I've been pretty lucky, that all my technology-moves have resulted only in one really unguessable pseud-variation (Nutty). Most of the rest, if you knew my old fic name, and I'm talking fic, you can probably make the connection. Anyway, this seems to be the case with the five-year gaps between acquaintances, that I keep striking up again suddenly on LJ!
Whew, I'll have had the same yahoo email for 8 years come this October. (I travelled under other names, mostly lurky ones, till then.)
