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!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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

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

So I heard there was a lot of fan rage regarding what was happening to Spider-Man and found some spoilers...
Wow, am I glad I don't read comics anymore. I'd be pretty pissed, too. Hell, I'm still a little pissed.
White font for those interested: Doc Ock swaps bodies with Peter, then Peter in Ock's body dies of cancer. They're relaunching the book as Superior Spider-Man, with Ock!Spidey as the protagonist.
