There are 1000 quotes in the system, and 720 of them are from Firefly. I forget who's currently in charge of collecting and formatting quotes for delivery to me -- if there is actually anyone -- but I haven't received any new ones despite the initial shock at the new distribution.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aha, thanks, Consuela. Thought it might be something like that but I wasn't sure.
And thanks, too, Ita. Is the formatting to be done mostly grunt-work that would be easy to explain to someone with a very basic knowledge of html (i.e. me. eep, I think I just semi-volunteered) or is it something best done by someone who already knows enough about the running of this board to not need instructions?
Cuz I have been known to grunt.
Err....

Oy. Everything is my fault.

Art Crawl!!!
ita -- I tried to send you some about a month ago. Actually, I think I sent it to the stompies e-addy.
Does that not get to you? Or did I not format them correctly?

Not everything, Nilly - the sinking of the Titanic was all me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Given that we're all deathmatched out at the moment, we could maybe figure out a way to take Nilly's list and winnow it down to, say, a top one hundred.

Does that not get to you?
I saw an e-mail from the 19th asking about formatting, which I thought I'd replied to, but no, I didn't see actual quotes.
Going back into the admin mailbox reminds me -- the FAQs probably need deep rehauls (beathen points out we know what happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico). I also remember this being discussed and even performed (though not put up) earlier -- am I making things up?
WS, the format is:
season #, episode # , "charactername", "quotation", "show initial (A, B, F)"
Please, please, please, NO double quotes inside quotations. It makes the baby Jesus cry, and tests my search and replace skillz.

Do you think there's too much Firefly, or too little of the rest?

All is well that ends in pizza.
There must be a bunch more ready to steal Buffy and Angel quotes we can mine...
Not that I would advocate such a deplorable action.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I'd be willing to help add Buffy/Angel quotes, but I don't want to go through ALL of the episodes or ones that someone else is going through. Maybe some organization for those willing to do this...?
