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.

Heh. Tom, could you check the Somervillain list as well? I can't get in to make any changes (or clean out the spam).

ETA: And I know I'm using the right password...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Insent, vw.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Spam registrations have really spiked the past two days. Maybe it *is* worth throwing a CAPCHA into the reg process?

How about a brief grammar test?

I know of one blog that asks a simple question that must be answered in order to post a comment. e.g. "What color is an orange?" That might suffice for our purposes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oranges are in.

Excellent! Love the Commonwealth spelling, too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Oh no! I would have failed that, unless it was super easy.

The true Buffista answer would be a 1000 word pro and con essay on the Oxford comma.
