Susan W, over in Buffy, but non-spoilery:
It does, however, piss me off that there are people out there taking my views to such an absurd, morally indefensible extreme that I feel the need to justify holding the reasonable version.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Allyson in Natter pn pet choices:
I hate cats. They poop in a sandbox in the house, eat all your food, and never say thank you. They could at least do the dishes. There's already one arrogant bitch in my house, I got no room for another.

Katie M., in Angel:
Dammit. If I ever do a heist, I'm going to have to buy a wig.

Captain Logic is not just absent from the wheel of the Slayer Raison D'etre Tugboat, he's slit his own throat, flung himself overboard and been devoured by ravenous Screaming Eels of Sentimental Guff.

Katie M:
My first (and only) experience with RPS was "huh. This is about Gillian Anderson, not Scully? Weird, I wonder what... oh, now she's getting on the Internet. And looking at... M/S fanfic... and... oh God what is she doing with her hand? Back, back, back!" It felt rather like someone had lost their grip on the separation between actor and character, and it gave me the icks.
t edit Although, RPF, not RPS.

From NAFDA Angel, I don't think it's spoilery, but I'm whiting-out, for just-in-case:
Alibelle: Look, when making a heist, you don't dress for practicality, silly. You wear heels, skin tight clothes, big tousled hair, and show cleavage, because female thieves are sexy.
joe boucher: No, no, no -- it's completely practical.
Police: "What did she look like?"
Witness: "Big hair, lotta lipstick, not a lotta clothes."
Police: "Tall? Short? Big build? Thin?"
Witness: "Thin, very thin... but curvy. Had big heels on so I couldn't tell how tall she was."
Police:"White? Black? Asian?"
Witness: "Her stomach wa very white. Didn't get much of a look at her head beyond the hair and lips."
Police: "Distinguishing characteristics?"
Witness: "Nice rack."
Police: "I was thinking more along the lines of birthmarks, scars, tattoos."
Witness: "Uhhh..."
Police: "Eye color? Hair color?"
Witness: "Sorta... and... She was pretty hot."
Policeman sighs, shakes head.
Lesson: if you're going to commit a crime go with the fetish wear, the more distracting the better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, sorry! Is it white now? It's something about the order of the HTMLs, I think. And I can't make it look OK, no matter how I play with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nutty and Victor in Buffy 1:
F. Scott Fitzgerald had an editor. Ernest Hemingway had an editor. These men are both dead. Therefore, editors are fatal.
Well, duh. I could have told you THAT.
I AM AN EDITOR! FEAR ME PUNY MORTAL WRITERS! BRING ME ALE AND SOME SUCCULENT BABIES, SO I MAY SATE MYSELF AND MAKE MERRY WITH YOUR MORE ATTRACTIVE WOMEN!!!
