[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Jackal has done his (hers?) and it's up.

I've got a full Drive site in development, also. I've been sitting on drivefans.com for a long while. I'm doing it under the badge of my viral fan marketing company as, you know, it's Minear. (Now a verb meaning 'good drama'. Or possibly 'death', you never know).

Where is Google's blogger? Not here, I guess: [link]

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

He means the site, Blogger.com.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

Jackal has done his (hers?) and it's up.

Right first time.

If I was Russell Brand I'd make a joke about your dinkel. And then kill myself.

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

The fact that exceptions exist doesn't make the categories useless

What you said was:

When we identify someone as a member of a particular race, we are describing real things about them

And I disagree. I think you're describing statistically probable things about them. That's a distance from real.

"Don' be e-scared"

Um, my show's about a race... does that make me on-topic?

No.

Also, I keep having the Team American: World Police song "Aids" in my head.

In fairness, the word(s?) are quite easy to remember.

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

It's thread drift. So it's like, DRIVE: MINEARVERSE DRIFT.

I'm fired.

Tim, if you don't mind me asking (and I'm risking actually being on topic here) - what was the genesis of the Drive script? Did Ben come to you with it already written, and you worked on tidying it, or was it a developed-from-concept between the two of you?

I remember with things like "Billy", I could spot which bits were written by you and which bits were by Jeff. But that's because I'm a giant e-nerdling.
