Not me! At least, not when there are new articles coming out in major media outlets with new semi-true stories about us in them.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

The Gus persona was remarkably consistent. I'll give him props for that. I would still like to know why.
Maybe he just wanted to be liked? And after a few years of pretending, he decided that hoodwinking the community that had welcomed him was not fair, so he, er, retired the Gus persona. In the most dramatic way possible.
I don't think he did it for malicious reasons or because he liked fooling people and was secretly laughing at us the whole time. It may have been something that got out of control, and he thought killing Gus off was the only way out of the lie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Isn't anyone else tired of the Gus talk?
Not me either. Interesting to have the truthiness come out.

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

Probably not the people still talking, unless they've got some masochism going on.
I have to confess that I just sent my first text message that consisted solely of the letter K.
Not even OK? Oyveh.
I got another fatal error posting this. I've gotten quite a few in the last week. Anyone else?
Ginger, I've had a look at the logs, and I can't figure anything out--I'm not ignoring you. I'm just bewildered.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm not sure there's gonna be a day I won't be interested in the LA Times reporting on us and interviewing a character who claimed to be dead. Maybe that's just me. But I doubt it.

Heh. And, hey, if you liked Gus...he's not really dead! So there's that.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Wait, what RL name did you look up for that birthday, Hil?
Guy Straley. Someone said that a public records index had that name in the right town, and someone else had sent him a check that he'd cashed in that name, so I figured that was probably his real name. I could be wrong.

Even if he is a manipulative lying sack of shit, at least he's still alive?
