Christ it's that short and some one can't figure out the basics of the show?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
How can you expect him/her/it to know the names of the characters or ship when he/she/it can't even come up with Joss's name?
summary: based upon something I once read that the creator of Firefly said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And notice -- s/he doesn't say she read Joss saying it. S/he read that Joss said it. Just a little detached from the show ... I'm quite impressed with it on that front.
Still think it reeks, though.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn them - how can they tell you who's scheduled for Achilles and not mention Patroclus? Wow. Man, I do hope this movie happens. BigGayLove-alicious. You could have some very nice Paris/Menalaus UST too. Oh, man. The number of slashable relationships/canonically gay relationships - oh, man. Wow. Sign me up now.
(Also? Yay Team Bloodshed! Bloom's so GOOD at getting all slaughtery. Fun fun fun!)
...I wonder if they'll include the Troilus/Creseyde thing?

I thought I was immune to being annoyed by the portmanteau words for pairings (Spuffy, Ganya, Spillow). But I just saw S/X referred to as "SPANDER"!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
See, that's just too close to "spandex" for it to ever be a good thing.
