Who were wonderful and beautiful and terrific and great to us and our bandwidth hogging selves.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
[edited to replace Ben's Bargain Center affiliate link with the Buffista Affiliate link]
I'd been wondering about this. So we do have a link whereby Buffistas gets some money off my Amazon purchases? Cause there should be an easy way to do that via Buffista Links or something, right? Cause if I remembered, I would do it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Basically, it goes into my personal account, and I've been keeping track of purchases that are made via Buffistas (if I'm not sure, I add it to the Buffistas). To be honest, I haven't sent any of the money to Jesse because it's still small (less than $100, IIRC), and because we haven't needed it. But it's there as a supplemental rainy fund in case we do.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks for doing that, Jon. A friend emailed me the link, so I didn't even notice that it was an affiliate link for someone else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a way to have person-independent affiliate links? Is it worth the bother to have a few affiliate links set up for a few shopping sites?

I had suggested something similar about a year ago, but board sentiment seemed to be against it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah. That was probably mostly me, but I've gotten over myself since then. I don't like overt advertising, and we don't seem to really need the cash, and I don't like Amazon, but those are all over-comeable issues.

What is even happening?
What is the character count (and does it include spaces) for single posts, on the board?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
6000 characters, and spaces and hard returns are characters.
