Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You know, I was in Latin class this morning and somehow managed to come up with a plot bunny for two of the cartoon characters in the book.

Sometimes I scare myself. But! they were very gay.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Snerk!

SA, I'm still working on those fics we were talking about earlier, but the Fic That Would Not Die has taken precedence for the nonce.

Sure. I have to leave here in half an hour, and I still have to do something about dinner, so it may be later before I email back to you.

Before I forget--did you mean the BtVS story cycle or the FTWND?

Both. Either. Your plot bunnies are a source of joy to me.

Why do people use the word ministrations?

Well, some good writers use it because it's the right word for what they want to say.

I take it that you've found someone who is less skilled than that. Or even several of them.

Ministrations has a nice quiet feel to it, the proper word for tending to someone, especially in the sense of someone who is hurt.

My personal word bugaboo is the rein vs. reign: One reins in their feelings/emotions/actions, much like reining in a horse. Granted, not so many people are familiar with the procedures of controlling a horse these days, but the phrase is still good.

t rant I've gotten to the point that I'll rec a fic just for the proper use of "rein in" alone.
