You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

If we took, say, five or ten quotes from the file at a time, voted (or polled, since I hate to throw the word vote around here lightly) for the top half of however many in each group, and did that until we got to a number roughly comparable to the number of Buffy and Angel quotes in the file...would that work?

Brenda, from way back. I would not want anyone to have to do a giant death match thing just to cull quotes. All I'm saying is before we actually cull, maybe we should ask Nilly what quotes she's particularly attached too, or ask her if she minds us bascially messing with the major work she did to get the quotes to put them in.

I would hate to presume that it'll be fine with her (or anyone who submitted quotes) to take them out.

Yes, excellent point, Kat.

ETA:

Like I said, I'm just tossing ideas around at this point, and not particularly attached to any of them.

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

Aha! I'm actually on buffistas.org and not www.buffistas.org, so it's only tweaking what matches my server name. Which confuses me and needs be fixed. Soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I will confer with Nilly before I send the file back to ita. This may not be a quick process, but it will be done someday.

I just got this quote:

Been following the footsteps of a carpenter for some time now. I think I can do something about ourfortifications. Book, 'Heart Of Gold'

Can someone fix the typo?

I can't even.

This makes me somewhat less qualmy, Lee. I had typed a post yesterday saying the stuff that Kat said very well, then figured I would let it lie a bit.

Thanks, Lee!

I don't mean to be a nudge, I just don't want to step on toes (or at least not in this instance).

ETA: And I have a very pretty number.

I fix the typo, and next thing you axe the quote, and then how will I feel?

Used, let me tell you.
