Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

I may have to seize the cat.

amych, I was familiar with the Buffy-creature bezoar first. I read the Sandman comics later, when someone had to get a bezoar and trade it for... something... for Calliope? I was VERY confused.

On the affiliation question, I'd say that Buffistas is not affiliated with Joss as a business entity. Joss as a guy who has the internet, yes. As the creator of shows, NSM. I think the "not affiliated with Mutant Enemy" route is the best one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You know, there was a time when I read every post by every poster in every thread. Life.

I oppose thread proliferation. Just going on the record really, since the arguments have already been stated. Nonetheless, I fully expect to natter happily in the proliferated threads. Embrace my complexity.

Is there any support for a second (non-archive, regular thread style) page to hold closed threads? To at least diminish the rapidly growing main page length?

I think it's well nigh on time we looked at standard disclaimers, including not affiliated, opinons are the opinions of the opinionated in question, and copyright belongs to the copyright holder.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

A disclaimer, if we decide we need one, doesn't have to be too complicated. "Buffistas.org is a comminuty-owned and community-run web site, and is in no way affiliated with Mutant Enemy Productons, the FOX Network, UPN or The WB." That's all we need.

Thanks for all the fish.

I wonder if the fic threads need a special disclaimer.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I just got this quote

I told him that I loved him.. and I kissed him.. and I killed him
Buffy, 'Faith, Hope & Trick'

-- Can we change it to

I told him that I loved him... and I kissed him... and I killed him.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Did you mean that the other way around?

No. Sorry, the cite part wasn't *missing*, I just didn't quote it the second time. My issue was with the missing periods.

Duh. Got it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Corrected.
