Yeah, that's him. I'm not fond of it either.

Hmm. t nervous I do *really* love that one, that was playing in all the 8 Mile previews, the one that talks about don't-miss-this-opportunity? It's the best song to skate to. It's only shown up by "Shed Your Skin". Which the DJ already plays for me every week anyway, with much eye-rolling.

t ears perk up HP recs?

But then I'm feeling vaguely tearful and vulnerable and crap at present, so I'm probably not wearing my most Rational!Fay hat at the moment. Ignore me.

Sweetie! Oh dear. Don't feel bad.

t ineffectual virtual hovering

I'll send you the recs as soon as I get onto the other computer. It's not quite working at the moment.

Oh darlingest of Lizards, could you send me the HP recs too? I'm sloooooowly being lured into reading HP fic, and I'd like something GOOD to read.

But that's apparently my issue, and the internet is changing, as is netiquette.

I've been around the Internet longer than Buffy's been on TV. I've been on the Internet since before there was a worldwide web, before there was an AOL, before there was any kind of graphical user interface. And I'm sorry, but I'm just not seeing how I breached netiquette by commenting about a post in one public forum on another one.

Also, Buffistas does not allow anonymous posting. I had to register with a real email address and then verify the registration. I know it doesn't seem like a lot to you, but it was to me and I took the time to come over here and respond after you took issue with holding the discussion elsewhere.

t smooch

Ignore me.

Never.

And I think this whole thing, plus the Firefly thing, brings up the issues we fretted over while we were still at WX: about privacy, and our Buffista Island tendencies; how easy we are to find now, and the unfortunate (from my view) publicity we'll get as a result; becoming this large and popular that the VIPs come and post occasionally; and the impact of being this large and popular, when we're so used to having a much smaller sense of community. It's definitely something that will require a closer look very soon.

OK, I'll just post them here. When my gorram computer bucks back up. I've renamed it Apocalypse Girl, did I tell you? I changed the icon for the hard drive from Cindy Sherman's Untitled #305 to a picture of Juliet Landau

Jilli, Lust over Pendle. I'm just saying. You'll never see Neville Longbottom the same.

I took the time to come over here and respond after you took issue with holding the discussion elsewhere.

Which I really appreciate. Go you.

Shed Your Skin - man, I love that song. So Clexian. And now I'm listening to the Indigo Girls CD you sent me, Mme Lizard. You're an angel.

Jilli - what flavour of HP fic do you fancy? Have you already tried Lust Over Pendle?

Or, if you're after something shorter, there's some nice stuff by Shalott . And of course Fearless Diva's Tissue of Silver is smashing, but it's still being revised. Hmm.

LoP, LoP, LoP.
