Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

[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.

I was vibing for you, Nora. Hire-ma now being directed across the Charles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister got Margery. If you only kinda just heard her name, might be excusable. If you were in her class for years, decidedly less so. Which is how it went down.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shir, really? That's cool - I love finding other women with my name!
Thanks for explaining how to pronounce your name. If I ever get to meet you, maybe I'll even get it right!

I'm pretty sure I've never had my first name pronounced incorrectly (apart from a friend who used to enjoy stretching it to two syllables in a sing-songy voice to annoy the crap out of me). My last name, well...that's another story. Doo-mays would be the least aggravating (at least it's close).

Only her second name, so she's not using it - it's just on her ID.
Now, the weird thing with Names of Family and Names of Buffistas, for me, is that Seska and The Girl's real names are just as my mother's first name and one of her sisters.

It's time to get ready to leave uni when the shelves numbers of the books you're looking for are starting to look funny/cool, right?

How do you pronounce it, Nora?
