Oh, tommy, that's horrible.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I still can't get to IM at work, which not only interferes with my ability to talk to my coworker down the hall, but deprives me of my normal rage outlet, shrift.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's so sad, Tommy. Also I could say it was not good to read the day before the DH leaves for week-long solo motorcycle tour around Oregon, but who am I kidding--I ALWAYS worry about him when he gets on a bike.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I guess it looked right away to me like they were saying "don't slash us" because they were presenting you with two characters
That's how I took it as well.
taking it as far as slash==evol is doing work for them.
Fandom is nothing if not industrious.

I too interpreted their meaning the way that ita did. It seems of the good that they are sensitive to the fact that others had another interpretation and re-phrased.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like motorcycles, and would probably own one if I didn't live in such a big city. (Even before this, I've known too many people who've have serious motorcycle accident injuries.)

Well, today I might have been IMing you about Evil Wil Wheaton battling John Trollscalzi for Princess Doctor Sheldon Cooper's hand in marriage just so that Evil Wil Wheaton could abandon Princess Shelly at the altar.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know--I guess it looked right away to me like they were saying "don't slash us" because they were presenting you with two characters (and, honestly, if people submit bestiality, I can't see them winning either), and taking it as far as slash==evol is doing work for them.
I think there's value in saying "Hey, I'm sure you didn't mean to sound homophobic there, but slash doesn't mean porn" to give the authors a chance to correct themselves. Assuming that everyone knows what they meant so it doesn't matter what they said just ensures that the people who don't read between the lines will get the wrong message.

Clearly, CLEARLY, you need to be IMing me.
