Although, traditionally pellets (which are in shot) were lead.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
They're phasing out the use of lead in buckshot for hunting, because of its long-term persistence in the environment, so steel and various alloys that include iron are widely available.
My wild-ass guess is that cold iron originally was seen as antithetical to the supernatural because it represents a creation of man rather than nature. One could propose a modern fae that could be killed with plastic or disco.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
You can also be invisible to the Fae by turning your clothes inside out: socks, stocking, underwear, shirts, tops, jackets, blouses whatever. I wonder if someone could do really hilarious crack fic with that.

Looks like Divine will be going live Sunday at 7pm. Hope it doesn't suck. Hope I still have power then.

I got inadvertantly spoiled for an arc point (that's rather large, from my POV) by a report on the J2 breakfast. If you're reading to catch up on VanCon, tread carefully.
Also, Divine's been getting a lot of buzz on one of my SPN comms--what is it, other than a new series? And why is it linked to SPN?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Misha plays the priest in it. It's an internet-based show funded by viewers, cutting out the need for commercials.
Coping with his loss of faith, a young priest has his world turned upside-down when he witnesses the resurrection of an immortal being named Divine. Given sanctuary by the church, Divine leads a never-ending crusade to show lost souls they have the power to choose their destiny between good and evil. With guidance from the priest’s mentor and Divine’s street-smart sidekick, the Father must now confront his own demons and the dark forces that challenge Divine.

Am I the only one for whom the titular character's name and basic setup seems worryingly reminiscent of 1990s Image Comics?

Ah, so that's the connection. Thanks, Julie!
