Poll: Would any of you be annoyed, even a little bit, by the referring to the vampire minions as "minions" in the text of the story? I wanna use it, and there seems to be a little canonical support, but I'm also worried my head is just colored by the WOFverse.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Harmony calls her minions "minions," doesn't she?

Thanks for all the fish.
"Harmony has minions?" Buffy
Yeah, it's been said in show.

Yeah, but Harmony is... Harmony.
And Glory's fully down with the "minion"-use. As well as the minion-use. I'm just trying to remember-- has Angel or Darla, in the A:tS S2 flashbacks, called their minionyvamps minions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think minions is used in the general term. Folks not empowered enough to be henchmen. So there's no reason you can't use it.
Now, minon childer -- that's a whole different coinage.

Liz--I think minion is great and would be fine. Minion is a wonderful word.

I really should be asleep. I should not be up watching vids and reading Ple's Secret Santa Fic. Again.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, that was so moving... A three-hanky effort, if you want my opinion.
