Wow, Dana, you had more than one instance of one person/many characters on the board? I thought Gus was the only one.
I mean, apart from me/megan and juliana/Smonster.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Once your female characters have some depth to them, it doesn’t really matter if the male hero saves them or not. For instance, Batman saved Rachel Dawes a couple of times, but I never saw her as only a Damsel in Distress
I agree with the first sentence. But to use Rachel Dawes as an example of a movie character with depth...makes my brain hurt.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Gus was actually only one "person" on the board. I mean, unless you count the girlfriend who showed up to announce his pseudicide.
mieskie posted in the Firefly thread, got himself suspended and then banned for two months, and came back under another name.
I mean, apart from me/megan and juliana/Smonster.
And me and shrift.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What was mieskie's problem? Was he just super-annoying?

I seem to recall insulting, condescending, and confrontational in the mix too.

Yeah, I was counting this.
Oh yeah, Dana/shrift. Which means I met you on the Embarcadero last year. Cool!

And obscene. And a jackass. And very talkative.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mieskie was at least three people--also schmoker and anathema. And then at least one minor spelling variation.

Gyllenhaal Dawes, perhaps? Certainly not Holmes. It's a loose and generous interpretation.

All posts from schmoker are under the name Anathema, so I assume he must have requested a name change at some point. Though I don't remember, and my head hurts now.
