I just loved that Sam knew what to call Ash's issue. Someone knows all about the Geek Hierarchy, don't you, Sam.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Since you can point at clothing- and jewelry-making being offered on the exact same basis, I think a legal attack might be hard to justify/prosecute.
How does the parallel make it more difficult?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
'Suela, that was a ... special link. Bless you for it. I think I hurt myself laughing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It really was.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
Over the sound of furious typing they heard Ash mutter, "I don't know why would they put the holes in ‘em if they didn't want you to use 'em to-"
Dean slapped his hands over his ears. "Oh God, Sam, I’m not listening to this. I’m not… la la la la la la la la."
And this is the point where I started laughing out loud.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have a question about posting lengthy stories. I'm currently planning to post something lengthy (if I can beat the last two chapters out of myself) and and trying to strategize: 25 posts of 1 chapter each? 4-5 posts of several chapters? Should I totally play feedback whore and post three chapters a day or something?
(That last, excepting WIPs, which I don't care for either, always strikes me as obviously manipulative.)
Aesthetically and dramatically, I'm tending in the 25-posts direction, but as a reader, I know that occasionally eyeballs roll out of heads at such a muchness being made out of a story.
Thoughts?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
How long are the chapters? And are they structured so that they work serially, i.e. there's plot issues whose suspension will heighten the enjoyment for the reader with enough immediate payoff not to feel rooked?
(i.e. see Lost and Jack's tattoo episode for how not to do this.)
I personally like a good serial experience, especially when I know that I have a reasonable expectation of a work being finished and well. Which is probably why I find my experience of Heroes parallels that to Whedonverse shows.
