Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That is awesome and sums up my feelings about all three characters perfectly.

Because books.

Did you see that Gashlycrumb Tinies is an eligible fandom?

Are only the fandoms listed in the link you posted eligible?

How come the countdown clock still says 9 p.m. tonight is the deadline?

My guess is that the people doing all the back-end stuff are so busy that they forgot to update it.

For better or worse, I signed up already just to be safe.
