Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I am sorry. Anybody short of the Chiquita Banana woman does not need more than one sentence or two adjectives (whichever takes up less space) to describe HAIR.

Especially on a man. For men, it is like, "He was not bald, but he was not a member of Guns 'n' Roses." Draw your own conclusion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But then you miss this, this, not to mention this, the variety here, or the beauty here.

Women's hair? Call me prejudiced, but a little less ... involving.

ita, there is only so much description a julius casar haircut can take before bursting into flames on a man's head.

...which event, in itself, would require lots of description!

If all men had caesars, I might agree with you.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I'm amused by the way you fit two links into the word "this." So much hypertext, so little text! I bet Dennis Rodman has had russet, auburn, dark blonde, dark brown and silver and gray locks -- though even he probably didn't have them all at the same time.

A good try.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't even have to look at that picture to tell you that's not what Michael looks like.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've been reading that "Tatters" serial by soulcake that Karie recommended. While there's some good writing in general (and including themes from The King in Yellow is always a good thing in my book), I'm having trouble getting into it because it pings one of my biggest eyeroll-inducing fanfic peeves, but hard. It seems to be set in Liberace!World, where most of the main characters and about every supporting character we meet is revealed to be not just gay, but in or beginning a schmoopy committed partnership. And of the three shows being crossed over, Angel is the one in whose storyline the slash is least prevalent so far.

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

Well, when you're dealing with a slasher writing a crossover in which you have the main slash pairings in each fandom... I dunno, it didn't ping my "oh for fuck's sake is no one in this entire universe straight?" radar, but I can see how it might yours. (Of course, I've been reading it as it was posted, so if there were pairings other than Jack/Daniel and Jim/Blair I quite frankly don't even remember them at this point.)

Lovely, the story to which this is a sequel, is gen if I remember correctly, but it doesn't have the Angel content.
