All he needed to do was fit Willow in there somehow and it would have been a trifecta extraordinaire.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Slash shows up on Queerty:

It's pure coincidence that the editors over at AfterElton sent us this sort-of literary story this morning (we guard our editorial schedule like a hooker guards their real age). In it, Michael Ricci takes a look at "slash fiction:" "self-published stories written by fans featuring characters from television, movies and books." While the genre got it's name from the backslash separating the characters involved, we prefer to think it came from some over zealous fan having one too many slashes and finding a geeky outlet for their amphetamine soaked imaginations. But that's just us.

Cheeky as the editors always are, but still interesting to see it pop up there.

Beach Blanket Poltergeist, gen, Supernatural. Despite the kind of odd title, this is a great, mid-length story with a tone I really love. It's a very well-crafted California story, too.

What is even happening?

Is "/" the backslash, and "" the slash? I thought it was the other way around.

eta...

The slash that's on the key to the right of the key with "}" and "]" won't show up in my post. I was trying to put in the slash that goes from top left to bottom right.

/ is slash.

And apparently the backslash is disallowed in the posting box. Though Wikipedia has your back.

Oh, bad pun SA. That was unintentional.

It was more adorkable than actually bad, SA. Thanks.

I only winced maybe twice.

Wow, I can not imagine writing 6000 words in a day. Yeah, when I was in school and pulling an all-nighter to get a paper done, but otherwise? I'm not even that fast a touch typist!

Fast, prolific, and good are the trifecta of most successful novelists's tricks.
