Shrift on Smallville fanfic:
Well, I'm completely okay with reading stories where they go totally AU and toss the characters into a different milieu. I can handle Clark as a rentboy, Lex as a farmboy, or Lana as an interesting person, but the moment anyone takes Lex's cock away, I am consumed with uncomfortableness.
Apparently, this is where I draw the line that should not be crossed. "Thou shalt not give Lex an innie when he has such a nice outie."
Connie Neil, in Buffy 4:
The first few years we lived here and had fighter practice in the front yard, we'd have cop cars by all the time. Pretty soon, though, that stopped as word got around about the weird folk on the corner. We have actually heard that there are fewer incidents reported in our immediate neighborhood. Apparently word gets around taht the folks on the corner have blunt instruments and aren't afraid to use them. Then they see me hacking at snowmen with live steel . . . We can always tell when there's a new cop on the patrol. I think the department sends them out our way just to break them in.
Edited to correct what I meant to type.

I'm easily amused today, it seems. Not one, but

COMMs!
LotR:
Sumi: In India, they aren't getting RotK until February 6.
Tom Scola: That's understandable, it will take that long to splice in the musical numbers.
And in Angel 4:
ita: What's 21 grams in Imperial?
Trudy: Sir 21 grams?
21! That needs to be 21!
rushes off to edit ... wherever.
21! That needs to be 21!
Oh, the dilemma. Do I just change ita's post, or do I pretend Trudy has changed hers as well? Its immortalisation in the BRQG is in my hands...
