I think that tiered donating is a great idea, but I'm not sure that a dinner is the way to go. I mean, I would LOVE to have dinner with Marti Noxon, but getting to LA would make it a bit prohibitive. Maybe a phone call or something like that
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

[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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yay! Go Jane!

Oh BLESS Jane! Aw, she always strikes me as a sweetheart (on Commentaries and suchlike) - lovely of her to help out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I went and delivered the gift bags. After wandering around randomly in wrong directions (have I ever been to New York before? I mean, seriously, WTF), I found the picketers and a woman behind a table, and gave her the bags with a whole spiel about who we are and etc. She asked if I wanted to stay and picket with them, but I got scared and ran away. The only person I recognized was Chris Noth, but as I mentioned, I pretty much just ran away.

Once I got the story out, the woman seemed into it, so that was nice. "Buffistas... like Buffy? You guys know about the Joss Whedon thing in Boston? Are you connected with Fans4Writers?" so at least she had some idea where I was coming from.
PS: Everyone else rocks for giving the money.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, I don't know. I'd be thoroughly cheered and inspired by a cheerleading squad made up of Fay and Stephen Fry.
Maybe not inspired to do mayhem on the (Am)Football field, but...
