While we're doing canon questions, can I pick the hivemind on Smallville canon (I'll xpost this with the Smallville thread, probably): How old was Lex when Lillian died? How old was he when the meteor shower came down? (in other words-- which came first?)

AM!

I just watched The Prom again. Cindy was right (and when isn't she?). The Class Protector award still makes me cry.

However, my point...

When they're trying to figure out where the hellhounds came from, Buffy originally tries to send Wesley and Cordelia to check out the boy's home, and then says, "and go by The Magic Box." When they don't seem to understand, she says, "The Magic Box. It's right next to the dress store on Main." The dress store is the formal wear shop where Cordelia was working right before the Prom when her parents lost all their money so she could earn enough to buy her dress. Xander eventually goes instead, but I thought you'd like to know how she described its location.

I hope this is helpful.

Dude! It really is on Main Street!

Here's my drabble for this week. The theme is weather.

Sailor Take Warning (Angel, Gunn - no spoilers) The waves were coming in hard, whitecaps moving in fretful rolls, crashing on the beach. The wind was rising, a dark buzzing whipsaw; it tasted of rain. There was a scarlet tint to the horizon, visible even against the darkness.

"How's that old saying go?" Gunn, at his shoulder, squinted into the massing clouds. "About the red sky at night?"

"Sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning." Angel didn't turn. "You should head back, Gunn. The sucker's about to hit."

"OK. You coming?"

"Nope." Angel sounded regretful. "Someday I want to see the morning half of this weather."

DEENA! I love you! t happy dance

That's just exactly precisely what I wanted. Thank you thank you thank you!

I thought it might be. Greg was a little annoyed with me because I made him stop the show so I could sit down and write it out exactly as she said it.

Yay for Am happy dancing!

Tell Greg I'm sorry for being annoying-- but you were right, that's exactly what I wanted. t more happy dancing

I'm trying to write, but I'm rather hyper today and I don't seem to be able to stick at one story for more than a couple of paragraphs, unless it's a new one.

So, there are drabbles, and *another* Smallville AU. I am amazed at how much energy I can put into a fandom whose canon I hardly know.

Deena--I checked the Clex bit again and liked it well enough, so I sent it out this morning. I thanked you in the A/N.

"Letting The Telephone Ring", SA? I should thank you again for that-- both because I enjoyed the story itself, and because it made me go and look up Slodwick's Ani DiFranco titles challenge, which has been providing me with drabble titles all afternoon. So, hey, thanks. Good story, useful author's notes.

That's nice, SA. Thanks. I thought I was just being annoying. Where do you send your stuff and how can I read more of it?

Am, I told him and he's pleased that you're pleased.

Hey, all. Anyone that has a suggestion for how I can wind up my opus, or at least one that isn't "Give up writing, you illiterate git." I'd be happy to hear from. Cause I thought I was finished yesterday,(I added on last night.) but I can't leave it like that, somehow. It's not right.Why is it everytime I think "This is going to be short and fluffy." it comes out like "I can stop anytime I want to."
