We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

Thank you, ita.

All is well that ends in pizza.

We need a spoiler font quote quickedit, something that will let us block quote spoilers other people have put in, so we can respond quickly and clearly.

Maybe a q?

IMHO, of course.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Err, as Jess mentioned in Natter...

s - (lowercase "s"followed by a space at the start of a line) creates spoiler or white font text to the end of the current line.

We've got one.

>We've got one.

Does s work with >?

Apparently not. I think that's what DCJ wants.
