A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Deena, thanks. Sent the email off just now, in fact.
One newbie-ish question: What's "insent"? I've seen a few of you use it, and can't quite figure out where it came from, although I'm assuming it means "email's been sent."
Deb, I'll take a blink like that any day.
Yeah, that means "I sent you an e-mail." Kind of like "incoming." but with all the Bitches, "coming" tends to mean other things.
erika, you may yet inherit the Porny Pants.
AmyLiz, sorry for not answering yesterday -- yes, red_emma at hotmail.com is the rightemail address for me.
AmyLiz, if you want any more people to look at it, I'd be happy to.
Already, um, insent.
How porny. :-)
I want to join the Bitches. It's my favorite thread to lurk in.
You're just bad influences. And I've stumbled into enough accidental double entendre, I'm hyper-conscious now. Imagine the fun when JZ sent me a box...um, package...oh, the hell with it. That thing, with the notecards and stuff. Amy Liz, come be a Bitch. We don't even have a secret handshake.
I may have to resub to Bitches. I'm missing some of my regular conversations, damnit.
AmyLiz, Insent, Incoming (for future insents), backsent, backflung, there are a whole lot of versions.
Hil, Gladly! The more the merrier. Will send in a minute.
erikaj, No handshake?! (frowns) That's almost disappointing. :-) I think I will wander in there soon, though.
While I'm asking questions, though, I think I figured out "timelies" -- so you're not saying good morning to someone in another time zone, for instance? But what's "-ma"? As in "healthma", for example? If that one was in the FAQ, I definitely missed it.
Must go get actual work done. Blah.
AmyLiz, -ma is a child of karma. It specifies that you want good karma beamed your way from the group - for car repair (car-ma), health (health-ma), employment (job-ma), etc.
But what's "-ma"? As in "healthma", for example? If that one was in the FAQ, I definitely missed it.
Short for karma. I think it started when people were asking for/offering good karma for stuff, then someone had car troubles and "carma" started being tossed around, and then it kind of evolved into health-ma and exam-ma and jobma and just generalized -ma.
