Captain Rational abandoned my tugboat at this point, and was eaten by sharks.
Hee! I love you.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Maybe "A" was for angst.
Dana gets it. Gossamer had a two-tiered system. First was the story type: Adventure, Casefile, Crossover, Story (i.e., drama). Then there was a subcategory for other things, usually R for romance, A for Angst, H for humor, and so forth.
So, something like one of Nascent's casefiles would be X, M/S UST, A. Once you understood the system, it made some sense. Although it's now more information than I'm willing to put on my stories. These days I don't even label the pairing unless I'm forced to. ::shrugs:: (But then I don't write much in the way of pairing fic, anyway.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Library of Congress catalog has a number for Demonology.
Am now struck by HS-era BtVS bunny about converting the Sunnydale catalog from Dewey to LC.

And that's just Demonology under Folklore. That doesn't include Demonology under teh Occult Sciences section.

133.4 is the base Dewey number for Demonology. Just being helpful.

Does Dewey make the same distinction between Occult and Folkloric Demonology?

Doesn't look like it. 133 is the base number for Occultism, and it seems to all flow from there. There's a listing for Demonology in the 200s, the Biblical section, but that seems to be it.
Demonology--Case studies comes under 133.42.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

You'd have thought it would be 66.6

It'd have to be 666.6, because all Dewey number have three numbers before the decimal.
666 is for Ceramics. There isn't anything for 666.6

Hey. New board.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SAVE LETTERS? THERE IS NO LETTER RATIONING IN PLACE!!! THIS IS NOT A FRAKKING MOBILE 'PHONE!!!
Hee. Maybe he/she/it is a hunt-and-peck typer. That's been the only explanation my abbreviation-obsessed friends will give me for the constant use of "ur" et cetera that I meet with even the slightest amount of acceptance. Very slightest.
I seriously hope my good example will convince them it's worth the slightly increased typing time so as not to look like a fool, though. Or at least make them learn to touch-type.
