We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Dana, in Natter:
We'll call it "Fandom Through the Years: The Dark Side."
Chapter headings will include:
"I'm a Plagiarist! Love Me!"
"My Hero is Good and Shiny and Noble and Don't You Dare Write Him Any Other Way!"
"I Don't Care How Much of Your Time and Money You Put Into This Website, Because I Have Unending Complaints"
"Psychotic Yankees I Have Known"
"Hey, Isn't Slash Just Porn, Anyway?"
"Hey, Isn't Fan Fiction Just Porn, Anyway?"
"I'll Feminize/Demonize That Male/Female Character if I Want To!"
"Who Says You Have to Know About Sex to Write Sex?"
"If You Criticize My Writing, I'll Kill Myself and It'll Be Your Fault!"
"Why Should I Spell-Check -- It's Only Fan Fiction"
"That Was Great! Where's the Sequel?"
"Seriously, Where the HELL IS THE SEQUEL?"
"What Do You Mean, There's No Sequel?"
"Hey, You Look Helpful. Can I Ask You Inane Questions?"
"I Could Obviously Build a Better Site, But I Would Never Waste My Time Doing That"
"You Slash People are So Sick and Twisted"
"You Gen People are So Deluded and Boring"
"You People Who Put Female Characters in My Slash are Just Evil"
"But It's Okay To Stalk Actors If I Really, Really Love Them, Right?"
"I Am the Moderator! Get Out of the Way; Here Comes My Ego"
"Web Design Guaranteed to Make You Gouge Out Your Own Eyes"
and the grand finale, "Why Are You So Upset? It's Just a TV Show. Of Course, If You Say Something I Don't Like, I'll Start a Flame War That Crosses Six Countries Before Breakfast."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Emily, in natter:
Because, really, bad writing does nothing for me.
It's not like, "Oh, yeah, baby, splice those commas!
Show me that throbbing purple prose! Twist those
characters beyond recognition, oooh!"
ookay, with the strange margins. I hope this fixes it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Wasn't you. Cindy didn't close her <pre> tag. I fixed it.
