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.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I love you, man.

ION:

it's silly. it's Harry Potter. It unfortunately draws upon and draws out JKR's whole OOH, FAT = BAD! thing with Dudley.

But, BLESS. This story made me giggle, then gasp a little bit, then do that happy-ending squee.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Rebecca, it's about half a page from completion. Stand by. trying to finish before Nic gets home....

AH! I love you!

And will read it tomorrow, because I'm wiped, and steeped in giddy anticipation is the best way to go to sleep, I think.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Between these and the SV meta icons, it almost makes me want to, you know, participate in lj and fandom more so that I can use a couple of them.

And then say something stupid so that someone can cut me down like the lame-ass newbie I am. Wheeeee!

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

Man... I didn't know that plagiarism was a big problem in the HP fandom. I see it frequently in the Sailor Moon fandom, but it's actually rather fun, as the SMRFF forum has a tendency to lay into these people with great wit and snark. Should I post some excerpts sometime?

Has anyone written a backstory on Spike vamping Holden? If so I would really like to read it.

I'm not sure it is, honestly. It's more that it's happened a couple of times, and some people blow it out of proportion. Although the fact that a large part of the fandom rallied around Cassandra Claire didn't help their reputation any.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I would so become an HP fan posting to LiveJournal for that "It's spelled PLAGIARISM!" icon...
