Okay, I clicked on the link and had just started Winter's End when a haunting soprano voice began humming "Loch Lommond," (I have the Soundscapes tv channel on--muzak for the squirrel wheels of my mind, y'know?) soon joined by a lone piper. Ooooh. Shivers.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Neat, Beverly.
Katie, it just boggles me that people don't even think about these things sometimes. Hopefully a gentle scold will do the trick.
Buffy comments that the scythe kills things 3 ways. I've got axe and stake. Any thoughts on the 3rd?
IIRC, Buffy was quoting a commercial for some kind of bug killer there, so I don't think there's necessarily a specific third way - or only three, for that matter. That scythe seems like it could go way higher than three with a little imagination.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
(for a second I thought that said "piratesmonkeysync" and I got excited because I thought it was some kind of pop au with pirates and monkeys and nsync.)
(and then I realized it didn't say that.)
(I'm sad to say I'm slightly disappointed.)

Are you sure it doesn't say that?

"sinc" not "sync."

Okay there's a pop AU with sync and pirates. I don't think there were any monkeys, though.
You should write one.

Is there anyone willing to run a quick beta pass over (nearly) 20 000 words of Smallville future AU, with a specific eye on taking out British phrasings? I'm feeling the Brit-writer-in-American-fandom paranoia.
