I'd be glad to, Dana. I look forward to seeing your take on the show.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Oh, what fun it is, to have someone read the first three paragraphs of a story with some very complicated characterization and announce that it's "out of character" because the choice the character makes would "spit on her love".
Because we all know that every decision is all about twue wuv, and life is simple, and there are no difficult moral questions or shades of grey in storytelling or real life.
Is there a way to filter only for smart readers?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh, dear. What story was this about? The Casablanca fic?

Nah, it's Xenophilia, where Aeryn makes a very difficult decision about the possible pregnancy.
It's in no way an easy story, and I wouldn't have reacted so bad if the individual commenting had at least finished the story before pontificating on it.
People? Annoying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In the tradition of Dana, this (from a Dawson's Creek fic) makes me giggle....
They stayed tangled up together, kissing, touching, playing each other like musical instruments for an hour or so before they both blissfully fell asleep.

I'm sorry-- I have to do one more..
Pacey pulled her up towards him for another searing kiss, their tongues both fighting for control in their conjoined mouth.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh, dear.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
playing each other like musical instruments for an hour or so
This beggars description, but not amusing imagery in my head. I am thinking woodwind, yes? I mean, you know, I suppose it could be percussion, but on average I would rather have someone random blowing in one ear while stopping up my nostrils than have someone treat my belly as tympani.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
And I'd hate to be played like a guitar or a banjo--strumming would tickle and picking would pinch.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Blessed Mother. There is Eddie Izzard fanfic. Really, reeeeeeally bad fanfic.
If anyone wants me, I will be in the bathroom putting my eyes out.
