I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

everything that I tried to put inside whitefont (and everything thereafter) showed up in the final post as *********

I was the most confused, Katie, and I get it now.

Just so you know, there isn't really an automatic conversion of bad HTML to ***, it's just that the unclosed quote swallows up everything on the page until it reaches another quote, and that just happened to be around the point where the Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks were.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

We have Secret Celebrity Boyfriend Asterisks?

See, I knew I was missing out by never going into programming. Of course, I also saved having to physically destroy any number of computers that weren't doing what I wanted them to, so I'm going to call it a net win.

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

Can some of the asterisks be Alyson Hannigan?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Yeah, like the asterisk I'd use when saying,

I haven't really been pursued by many desirable TV celebrities recently*

  • except for Alyson Hannigan, and I don't really mind that.

She can't be your secret celebrity girlfriend, Nou, if you don't even spell her name right!

It's the Internet. It's caused me to spell "there" "their," after 24 years of doing it correctly, and now this. I see Allyson's name on the board every day, so it overwrote the correct spelling in my brain. I edited.

It's the Internet.

That's no excuse! I'm on the internet too, and I say it right.

Therefore, she is MINE.

I have impeccable logic.

Also, /natter.

A little more natter. Internet spelling osmosis is your best chance for getting "Mme" into common usage, so it's not all evil. Also, John H showed me 100,000 misspellings of Britney Spears typed into the Google.com search engine. "Allyson" shames me as a Buffy fan, but it's no "Birtteny."

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

The comma quote thing is already fixed. Unless someone has evidence to the contrary.

The search results are ordered by relevance, as determined by the full text engine.

And by length, I believe. Or else the fic just shows up by the bottom because it's got a lower ratio of keywords to text. That's probably it.
