Yeah, RL, after all the repetitions of Xander taking his meds, having everything resolve so quickly made me wonder if I'd missed sections.

... What's a LOC? I'm reading these LJ arguments. It seems to mean "a piece of feedback", from context, and my brain keeps trying to fill in "little old comment" but I'm sure that can't be it.

Always Anti-fascist!
Loss Of Consciousness? Nah, can't be. But that's where I've heard that, ER and whatever.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. As shrift notes, it's Letter of Comment. It's also one of the oldest acronyms in fandom (and probably a newspaper one aside from that) dating back to the mimeo days, and part of an extended joke about "The shortest piece of fiction ever written." Which I think was pared down to two sentences.

I'm having a 'what the hell?' moment. Care to explain?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Which soap opera was it that announced it was going to use fan-written stuff as dream sequences on the show? I was telling a friend about that last night, and I couldn't remember, and she didn't believe me. Help? Did I in fact imagine this?

I don't know if its all that interesting to repeat. They had a contest to write the shortest story that actually was a story. That had a premise and a twist. The shortest story that they felt was a whole story (by whatever their standards were) was: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a knock on the door."
After some chatting somebody offered a shorter version of the same story: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a lock on the door."
Somebody finally trumped that with: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a LOC on the door."
