Warren Ellis is the cutest cutie in cutietown. I wanna kiss him.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yes, that tends to be the common reaction to him, especially among his Attack Wombs (AKA Forum moderators) on The Engine...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far, I have been told by these elevated talents that 1) Alan Moore could hide me in his beard 2) it's a bit like haiku 3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III.
Hmm. Match the helpful writer [a) Joss Whedon, b} John Rogers c) Tim Minear] to the writing tip.
I'm guessing 1b, 2c and 3a.

I'm too scared of Warren Ellis to want to kiss him.
But he does make me grin an awful lot.

Warren Ellis doesn't scare me. He makes me want to bake him a pie. I have no idea why.

I thought the haiku line sounded Minearish, too. Dunno about the others.

3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III.
Who noticed Pacino? I was too distracted by Sophia Coppola chewing on the freaking scenery.
ETA: I thought the haiku thing sounded like Joss but it might just be flashbacks to the Bronze.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Apparently, I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Given this [link] I'm guessing 1a.

What is even happening?
I matched Joss to Haiku; Tim to beard; Rogers to Pacino, by default, although Joss could have said the beard thing. I just couldn't hear anyone else saying the haiku thing.
