move out and draw fire

Yay 1602.2! Trying to figure out who Virginia Dare is has been driving me all sorts of batty.

Finished V for Vendetta last night. Kind of a plate-of-shrimp thing. The day before I started it I'd explained Guy Fawkes and Guy Fawkes Day to a couple of friends (who both really like Harry Potter and may now get the phoenix's name), so imagine my surprise to discover that V stars Fawkes. Sort of.

Raquel, someone here earlier posted the theory that Virginia Dare represents Snowbird, a metamorph that was a member of Alpha Flight...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I've read No. 2.

I know who Virginia Dare is.

I ain't saying.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Raquel, someone here earlier posted the theory that Virginia Dare represents Snowbird, a metamorph that was a member of Alpha Flight...

My co-worker (a comics fan) thinks that's who she is.

V for Vendetta is frelling amazing. I really need to re-read it - it's been a decade, literally.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I got an extra copy of 1602.2 for Holli. After the boxed-set-thread-brou-ha-ha I'd thought I'd better let everyone know so that she doesn't end up with three copies.

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

Jon, you're supposed to say before. Now I bet there are seven already in the mail to her.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Jon, can I email your profile addy with my college mailing address?

Also, thank you!

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I have read #2, and I don't know who Virginia Dare is! Victor, whitefont?

Next week, the new Endless book...

Okey doke. Virginia Dare is indeed Snowbird.
