That was nicely done, RL. You're right, she's got the voice down.

The real trick with Dru is that it's a mix of poem-logic and child-logic, and all of it twisted and wrong. It's actually kind of liberating, when you're in the middle of it. You can kind of just let go.

Fay, baby, I love the Andrew story. Like, love, love, love. I'm totally going to marry Andrew. Ignoring the part where I'm a gay female real person in a relationship already and he's a gay male fictional character whose television series has ended-- ourlovewouldbesopure.

... Makes me want to create an Andrew/Warren site and submit it as a Guild zone.

Good to see you, RL. You've been missed something fierce.

Ooo! Fay Fic!

Auto-archiving is a good idea, but do we want to consider keeping it so that only we can archive?

Again, this is really, really easy to do with eFiction. Email me for details if you're interested, but yeah. Simple. You can limit the access without a problem.

Also -- for any auto-system, please make sure you run the tech reqs by me before we get too deep into discussion, so we can make sure we meet them.

Its other big advantage is that I'm 99.99% certain that it'll run no problem here.

You think it'll be easy to integrate into our existing authentication, PMM? Then it's my favourite.

You'd have to take a look at the PHP. Maybe.

I'm not sure of the how of it, not being PHP savvy or aware enough of how our system works to form an opinion. It was, however, a dream to set up, and the only asstastic part was remembering how to do table-based layout when I started working on the skin. (I've only done CSS layout since April. Damn, working again will be a rude awakening.)

Yes for auto-archives, yes for limited posting. Will it be publically available for viewing?

Oh, poor put-upon Andrew! Xander's nasty side could well come out with having someone lesser than he to abuse. That's one of the things that bothered me about Andrew, the sheer mental abuse they inflicted on him. If he's evil, tie him up, fine, but abuse speaks far more about the person performing the act than any alleged "deserving" the victim is guilty of. Thank heaven for tapes, I can always fast forward through all belittling scenes.

Sorry, knee-jerk rant there. Fay, it's glorious, Andrew needs a hug, and Xander--who's a lot bigger than we thought--should give it. Did we ever have a scene of Andrew brushing Dawn's hair or did I just imagine it?

Not likely. Slash isn't something I'm particularly interested in. If it emerges as a logical progression of a story, fine, but otherwise, eh.

I thought as much. Ah, well. Never mind. Get on! Write the next bit! I want to know what happens next, even if it isn't slash.

Yes for a multi-fandom archive! I'm in favour of making it Bitches-only for uploading, however that's possible.

Fay, that's wonderful. You write an Andrew who's actually loveable.

Thank you!

I do love Andrew SO much. He's such a pathetic wee woobie. Bless him. Poor wee scone. I mean, I know he's apallingly self-centred and has the moral centre of your average cat, but I can't help loving him to bits.

Will it be publically available for viewing?

Yup. It's kind of the point.
