It sounds great, Allyson.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Nicely done, Allyson.
And gotcha. I'm pretty much right there with you with how you're feeling, so more power to you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well played, Ms. Beatrice, well played. Did you suggest CFerg lean on people? He might be able to prod to action, and if tells John Rogers that he knows you it might grease that very wheel.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I never got his email addie. I haven't got any writer responses, which make me nervous.

You didn't get Colin's address? I know I sent it. As for John's, it's on his blog: kfmonkey(nospam)@gmail.com

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Allyson, the piece is awesome, clear and to the point, but with wry. Or on wry. Whichever. My point is, that while I love the Below the Line and its acronym, I think a lot of people need to know what that "line" is. You sort of spelled it out, but a pointer (pssst. This is the "line") might help clarify, for those of us cursed to be non-linear.
Also--can we link to that page on our LJ, or pimp it to fan communities? I know of a couple headed by less-craxy-than-some people that might love to collect to kick in.

Beverly, there will probably be an actual website you can link to in the morning. (Hopefully.) I'm working on it right now.

Erp. Already linked to that page. Was that wrong? I'll private it for now, since I'm headed to the Land of Sleep, and link properly in the morning.

Not at all, Liese. After Allyson made the announcement, I suggested that we might want to make a website with all the information so that her blog didn't get overwhelmed. Plus, it will be easier for us both to update as we get items in.
