I've been sitting here, wanting to type something that would clearly represent a sizzle noise. I think the problem is sizzle is pretty onomatopoeic as it is, and yet not quite onomatopoeic enough.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Silence means security silence means approval
Trust me. Parents who name their children weird shit will NEVER get why their children are a wee bit miffed at them.
I was given a name no one could pronounce or spell until 90210. And there are some who still can't pronounce or spell it.
And it's only exacerbated by parents who think it's the perfect name for a GIRL.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apple may turn out to be one of the ones that doesn't mind. I think her name is weirder than mine, but I'm sure there are observers that think both our parents are equally batshit.

Like Plei's name. Why Apple? Has she ever said?

Hi Shambles! Mind you, I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out who you are, and am failing miserably. I need a hint. And more coffee.
Trust me. Parents who name their children weird shit will NEVER get why their children are a wee bit miffed at them.
Heh. Heh, heh, heh.

"Erika" has gotten a lot less weird since I've had it(No thanks to me, I'm sure.)

Hey. New board.
I love your name, Plei. It's the first thing I look for when I get out of a city and can see stars again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I misread this as "inappropriate sperm"
So did I.
Welcome, Shambles. That was quite an opening post. We should add that self-description to the wall outside the Buffista compound in checklist form.
Yay! for Stephanie (but Boo! for bugs)
Congratulations to Cashmere, Owen, and Christopher on their imminent new band member!
Yay! for good jobs to Fay and vw.

I'm so glad your new job's working out, Fay! Sounds like a good employer.
And did I say congrats to Cash & Co. on the future soon-to-be, wee little girl? If not, congratulations! (Heck, even if I did it still bears repeating.)
