But I think most of Shaw's stuff was clearly politics (or social commentary) first and art second. And yet most of them are hilarious and first rate art.

The difference between something like Pyg. or A Doll's House and something like, say The Cradle Will Rock or any of those sorts of things is that the ART part of it makes it something that can survive separate from the politics.

Motivating factors for bunnies are complex, but you're dead wrong on this point. If it wasn't art first, it would be forgotten except by dusty scholars.

If I only had a brain...

The author can think it's art second while the audience thinks it's art first.

Darn you, Betsy!

I just got feedback on Dream Forever my first ever Buffy story. Post Gift how would Dawn cope story. I didn't archive it right away so I never got much feedback, but this was really really nice. I'm excited.

Elena, insent btw.

This day has just sucked. The feedback, my new glasses, and Tombstone were the highlights. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is so much fun to watch.

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

I'm watching the Sentinel for the first time ever.

I love college, if only because it gave me people who have the same obsessions as me.
