Buffy ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Shrift, what do I want? What does fandom *need*?
I'll probably change my mind in five minutes, but I've got two "so rare it moos" fandoms, one "pretty rare and it HAS NO PORN, WAY TO LET ME DOWN" fandom, and one Canadian fun fandom.
Pushing Daisies did make the list. Of course, the true Herculean task now is to figure out what I'm going to offer.
At a guess, you can copy a key.
But people will figure out how to copy the wand/stick before too long, if they haven't already.
For yuletide, I have a "canon let me down" fandom, two "past yuletides have whetted my appetite for this" fandoms, and a "pretend I'm not asking for this because the actor posts on this board" fandom.
Well, it would be a benefit for me, because my key was copied, and poorly, so you have to stick the key in, then pull it out a little, to start the car by turning it. Actually, in practice, you do those two steps about fourteen times, with added jiggling, and increasing profanity. The SO refuses to ever use my key.
Our car (Nissan Versa) has a crazy thing where you just need the... fob, I guess, it has the computer chip in it... on your person and you can unlock the door just by pressing a button on the door handle, if the fob thing is in your pocket. The ignition turns like a regular ignition, but there's nothing you need to insert.
It's cool not to have to fumble for your keys though. All about the proximity!

I got an explanation on the name from my SIL:
Gavin picked her name from about five different choices we gave him. He calls her Neavie. I think he likes it because it sound like Stevie, he knows we call your dad Grampy Stevie sometimes.

That sounds interesting.

I'm beginning to suspect that I'm never going to get DCI Tanner/DI Boyd slash.
That sounds interesting.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

I love not having a regular key. I just leave it in my purse all of the time, so I don't have to dig it out when I'm wandering through a parking lot.
I really enjoyed Pushing Daisies, but I may need to watch it again since I was Ambiened at the time. (This statement makes me think Eddie Izzard.)
