The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Oh, har! Both a Firefly and a Leverage shout-out.

I'm not unbiased, as the author is a friend of mine, but I wanted to rec a lovely Jo-centric fic. It's set sometime in S3, but it was very much informed by S5.

A question for those of you who are more experienced in reading fanfic than I am: when an author replies to my review of her fic and refers to me as "bb" what does that mean? I've seen it other places, and I gather from the context that it's friendly, but does it actually stand for something?

I think it's meant to be pronounced bébé, as that's the French for baby, and that's how the letters "bb" would be pronounced in French.
I could be wrong, though.

Ah. Thank you. So it's an affectation, but at least it's a friendly one.

So it's an affectation,
I've seen some sites and programs when reading fic that automatically strip any letter with accents from the text. I'm guessing that was the origin, and it's probably morphed by now.

I don't know where to put this, so I'll stick it here. Laura Shapiro just posted a Lorne vid, which will rip out your heart and dance on it. Here: [link]
RIP, Andy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
*sob*
It's probably for the best that I have fuck-all to do at work today other than watch that vid over and over and sniffle loudly.
