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.
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.
I'm just not seeing how I breached netiquette by commenting about a post in one public forum on another one.
I'm not sure it's netiquette per se. More of the Buffista sense of community. We value our privacy, as feeble as that may be in reality.
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.
I think we all appreciate you coming over here and addressing this with us. I understand that giving out your true email and such is a big deal for you; but that particularly is a function of how the Buffistas function; our trend towards community and privacy. We don't want flamers. We don't want people who will try to bring down our community.
Which I hope you understand is not what I think you are. I'm just trying to convey our thoughts behind the matter. Or, our thoughts as interpreted by little ole me.
sense of community
And that's the bottom line. There's a real sense of community, and I really fucking cherish it. Um. In an irrational Go Go Gadget Sam Gamgee Overprotectiveness reflex kind of way generally reserved for my wee sister and Mme Lizard. (And Sam himself, of course, who is mine, and for whom I will kill all comers if they try anything.)
God, could I sound any more like an unfriendly bag?
t slaps self
I've got LoP (in MS Reader format, sniffle) sitting on the work 'puter right now. I meant to bring in the Pocket PC and port the file over, but forgot it this morning.
I want good Snape fic. Because Alan Rickman? Oooooh.
t grabbing Fay's hand
could I sound any more like an unfriendly bag?
Sorry, you don't sound like one now. Go read LoP. Link to follow soon.
Edit: Sorry, thought you were Jilli for a second. Must have been that air of wonderfulness you give off.
