Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Anyone know a place where you can create a tshirt with designs on both sides? Everywhere I've checked only does one.

So resume question.

I'm putting together my references page, and I don't have phone numbers for everyone. Should I include those I have or just put down e-mails?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Does Cafepress not do this anymore? IIRC, they definitely used to -- at least one of my Buffista F2F shirts is printed on both sides.

vw, When I did this last round of jobhunting, I put down the ones I had phone numbers for and added "More available upon request," assuming the phone numbers would be chase-down-able later if needed (and adding the phone numbers as I found them).

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

Cafepress has let me make two-sided shirts, and zazzle looks like it will too.

Thrive to spite them

There's fanfiction for everything! I'm sure there are Stephanie Plum fanfics about her finally marrying whatshisname or having sex with Ranger or I dunno something else.

I've read Full House fanfic. Full House three way non explicit slash. And 7th Heaven stories about how the youngest is really the secret baby of the oldest, and the CAmdens have been lying about it for all those years.

Not to mention I read about a My Little Pony fanfic flame war thing that happened because some people were writing explicit stories about the ponies and others were upset.

I generally don't include references at all and don't remember seeing more than a few people do that in the various round of hiring I've been part of in the past few years. Unless it's specifically required, I don't think I'd do that. (Though in academia and some other fields that might not apply.)

thanks, ita. I was trying to remember zazzle's name, but couldn't.

Stephanie Plum fanfic popped up on my lj a week or so ago. Though it was actually Rodney McKay in the Stephanie role, so I don't know that it counts.

This is for the agency, and is required for my meeting tomorrow, which is the only reason I'm putting it together.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

The idiom that's been bothering me is possibly a regional VA thing; it's not Bureaucratic Bullshit Bingo anyway. It's dropping "to be" after "needs" but not adding an "-ing" to the second verb.

See, this kind of thing doesn't bother me because it's consistent and logical and it's just not the grammatical structure that happened to be used by the region that had the most power (ie London) back in the day. It's still pretty standard in spoken English in Scotland, afaik.

Not to mention I read about a My Little Pony fanfic flame war thing that happened because some people were writing explicit stories about the ponies and others were upset.

Oh, fandom, how I love thee.

Although I still didn't manage to make myself read that Care Bear S&M story. But the Sesame Street porn in the last Yuletide was hilarious, I thought. Hifuckinglarious.
