The semi-colon is a beautiful thing. IJS.
I feel very strongly about this.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
(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.)

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Two names! I have two! And one of them is real!
Now if you want to hit me on e-mail addresses, I'd have to plead guilty there.

It's a remora, dimwit.
What I meant was that the owner of the site has free speech - if the owner of ff.net doesn't want NC-17 stuff, then they've got the right to keep it off. It's like what they say about religion, freedom of speech also includes the freedom to say shut the fuck up.
So far I've only got two other pseuds, and I'm thinking of more, because I've just gotten this delightful email suggesting that instead of my normal crappy style, I imitate this other writer, who just also happens to be me. I could start the most pointless flame war ever, even scarier than the fight about Xena's methods of sanitation.

BWAH!
Okay, that's funny.
