She's not a white-bread kind of girl. No. But she's the one I'm proudest about being told I can write.Cause I don't wanna be a secretary with a gun. Or a hack with a word processor either. And the badfic is most cruel with her. We tough girls that don't wear much makeup have to look out for each other.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Babe, speaking as a tough girl who does occasionally - very occasionally - wear makeup? I have Kay Howard's back. I called NBC and screamed the place down when they wrote her off the show. Fucking morons.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay, cool. I'm glad it came off so well. I was pretty satisfied, really.

Good for you, Deb! I bet that person's ear still has a scar on it. And I mean that in the best complimentary way. Because on top of everything she got a demotion because Tim worried about being "busted down to fugitive" if he couldn't make a go of it.(And I wear makeup on special occasions too. Not so much day to day.)

Hell, I still remember your short piece, with the desire to kill Manolo Blahnik.
Like I said, I've got her back.

Yep. I wasn't talking about you. Some people's dialogue is just kinda tragic, huh? And every day, there's just more and more. Do be a fic writer. Don't write Mary Kays.

Deb, I liked each of your drabbles more than the one before -- and I liked the Dru one quite a lot. Olivia is an interesting character to write because we *don't* know much about her. And bringing back the knife in the Buffy-Faith one ... *shiver.*
SA, I like your story *because* it's dark. It's not pointlessly angstily morbid at all.

Nobody
I'd like to think it was found in the rubble of the school when Xander oversaw the rebuild, and that it found its way back to Faith.
I'd like to think Xander kept it as a memento of the slayer he had, and the slayer he couldn't have.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Ooh! I like that, Cindy.
One thing I really liked about the Jack o' Lantern drabble was that the knife came up so unexpectedly in what was a fun, friendly context.

It got me to wondering whether Buffy would actually be able to bring herself to use the thing, especially in front of Faith.
