Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Gail Simone has been fired from Batgirl: [link]

Which adds one more to the tally of JUST HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO GUT ME, DC?

edit: on the plus side, I apparently just introduced several of my non-fan twitter friends to the word "cockpunch". Go me?

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

By email, even:

As of Wednesday of last week, I was informed by an email from my new editor that I am no longer the writer of Batgirl.

There should be a rule about that. Phones, people!

Srsly. Possibly worse than an email breakup.

@GailSimone did you not put enough women in refrigerators or something?

@themikecnelson Funny you should say that.

Yikes indeed. Who do you fridge in Batgirl? I only read the first issue.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Just re-watched Alpha Male through Misplaced tonight.

Dick's "I don't want to be Batman - anymore." in Disordered... oof. Especially in light of what he ends up doing as Nightwing in Season 2.

Also, as much as I love Brent Spiner, his Joker in Revelation is just as lousy the second time around. (Though I blame part of it on the lines he was given.)

Hey, Steph: [link]

It's for Vertigo, so using a whip to enforce the serial comma would probably be expected.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Heh. This requirement leaves me RIGHT OUT:

Must have the ability to communicate effectively and tactfully with managers and other levels of personnel.

Tactful, I ain't. That's why I'm an editor.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I notice that tactful isn't a requirement for dealing with writers and artists. Hence Gail Simone finding out she was fired by e-mail.

I finished re-watching YJ Season 1 and I have to say that as great as Season 2 is, I wish we'd gotten see more of the Season 1 team.

Of course, with the way things are looking now for the show's future, the show probably wouldn't have made it to the Season 2 timeline without the time skip, and I'll take the existing Season 2 over an imagined one that picked up immediately after Season 1 if only one could exist.
