Can't you just leave 15 out?
I suppose. But, somehow, because this is me, and I'm weird, that just feels wrong.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of the important lessons of university is when to lie in writing, I swear.

vw, can you put them in order of importance and just write until you run out of time? That would be my approach, but I am anti-outline girl.

What is even happening?
vw, you will not hurt any of the concepts feelings, if you leave them out. I promise.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't know, Cindy. I hang out with several of the concepts surrounding balance, and they don't say anything, but you just look at them sometimes, when people ignore them, and they just get this look, and kinda sigh.

Debet, you're not responsible for the concept's feelings -- you have to remember that. They're their own entities. You just need to be fair to yourself -- it's not like the concepts are looking after you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Send them to Concept Thunderdome! Two concepts enter, one concept leaves!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You know, though? Those concepts really need to learn to speak up for themselves. Find your voice, concepts! Don't be a conceptual doormat forever!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But what about the concept of doormat-ery? Surely you can't expect it to behave otherwise!
eta: ita, I know. I just prefer to hang out with them. Most of the other concepts get rather tiresome after a while. And when you hang out with them enough, you start feeling for them when they're hurt.
