Any takers?
Hit me. I'm feeling all ambitious now that I've beta-ed with Lizard.
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.

Hec's a wonderful beta.
David "Hecubus" Smay: What is this love affair you have with the colon?
David "Hecubus" Smay: You are the colon's bitch. I think a comma here.
David "Hecubus" Smay: Why must you torture me with this idiosyncratic colon use?

Thanks for the heads-up, RL. I expect Hecubus would give me a hard time about my passive-aggressive relationship with the semi-colon. *grin* Oh, and the comma splices. I do them on purpose, and I can't stop myself.

That which does not kill you should RUN
The semi-colon is a beautiful thing. IJS.
I feel very strongly about this.

(And then, Hec, we watched two episodes of Angel on DVD, so you get it tonight. My bad.)

Comma splices are very organic. Semi-colons are like a swinging door, sure, it's easy to get past it, but you've still got to push through the thing.
Oh, look, another comma splice. Neener.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's fine, Ple. I can't wait to stick my hands in your grammar and pinch your commas until they stiffen and turn red.

If I only had a brain...
Man, I gotta cut back on the pseuds, don't I?
Yes. Keeping track of all the various incarnations of Buffistas (Consuela, Dana, and Vee, I'm looking at you) can drive a woman to Excel.

Hey! I've only got...
Three. I think. Well, four. Kind of. And only one that I use in fandom. (not counting the p.m. marcontell one.)
