Thanks! Glad I got to see you.
I am busily pursuing one of my new obsessions, House fanfic. Especially since I haven't caught up on any of my TV yet.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

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
If you go to the posts from the yahoo groups site, you can pretty easily skip the ones you don't care about. Personally, I do look for the posts seconding a rec - some of the recs are pretty iffy, so I usually skip the inital rec and just check things out if a handful of people (or someone I know and respect) confirm that it's worth checking out.
With you on the nitpicky conversations being as painful as the badfic. And yet I couldn't resist a response to that kind of whacked-out post about high schools. (Which I think was from the same person who started the grammar talk, too.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

She's one of the mods, and posted the original list with the intent to drum up converstation. Which, obviously, worked.

Yeah, I can see that, and I didn't mean that as a slap at her as it may have sounded - but the HS post really seemed to come out of left field.

As far as pet peeves go, it is an odd one! But, mind, I remember having similar issues in S7 WRT the wall smashing in the Summers house, because plaster walls don't smash like paper.

If it's any consolation, that bothered me too. I think I had more sympathy for the poor Summers house in Season 7 than for anyone living in it.

There can be a Shakespeare fandom?

Shakespeare was my first fandom. Of course, it was pre-Web, and I was pretty much pre-clue, so for me it was pretty local, but yes, I'd say that there can be rabid Shakespeare fandom.
