The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, Deb. Corrected. I knew it was wrong when I typed it, but I didn't have the energy to look up the correct spelling.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I think everyone has at least a few words that are just wrong-looking, no matter how it's spelled.

My biggie? Carricature - no, wait, cariccature - um, caricatture - oh, screw it.

Ack! This just came to me. It's my very first drabble evah.

He'd have ended up there anyway—bloated and bumping lifeless against the pile under the pier. If she, panting and hours away from having their fourth child, hadn't said over the phone to him, "Get here soon but don't bother if you're going to get here drunk. Don't bother coming home at all." He would have still died of the drink. In a bed at home or at the VA. In his usual booth at the bar. In his car, taking some poor soul with him. If she had relented one more time. Forgiven him one more time. It wouldn't have mattered.

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

Caricature.

I can't even.

"Rowling" and "Tolkein"

Who?

Nice, the way the pace of the piece has the words and the emotions just spilling out, tumbling over one another. The sense of urgency and panic and resignation all wrapping in one.

Wow, this was hard to type (accurately). I'm fried by the stress everyone else here at work is infecting me with. I need alcohol and probably pizza.

Jeepers, lisah. That's intense.

I just did a nice 40-minute over the phone talk with the Shrewsbury Library. I think she said there were about ten people there, and they asked good intelligent questions, and we had a ball. It's possible (ya think?) that I talked too much, but luckily, I'm a very entertaining talker.

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 seems someone else is publishing a book on our fandom and stuff.

I'm crushed.

No idea. Never heard of her til I saw the link at Whedonesque.

Allyson, at a quick glance that book seems very different from the one you're trying to write. It calls itself a "resource" guide. Besides, there's room on the shelf!
