Yes, Tep. That whole last book? super-gross. I still feel somewhat violated by my knowledge of it. Which, if you consider the things I generally pursue knowledge of, is fairly impressive, don't you think?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'd probably assume that 24 business hours was "next business day" rather than "if it's on a Saturday you're contractually fucked". More importantly, though, I'd read it as "clarify this".
Yeah, your assumption was my coworker's. It took six weeks or some shit to get the contract amended and approved, and everyone let this slide, so I did, too!

My great-grandfather met my great-grandmother when he was 31 and she was 8. He waited until she graduated from college (in 1907) and then married her. All 4 of their daughters hated him.

Wow. That's so ... Thorn Birds. Without the priest part, but still.

Note that the girl in the Vows column only graduated from high school three years ago, so I'm guessing she's still in college....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Like, the werewolf falls in love with the newborn vampire?
Wait, what? Really? Not enough EWWW in the freaking world.
I don't mind emoticons, really, as long as they're not overused or incorrectly used. They're helpful for establishing tone, standing in for facial expression and inflection and such. But I don't use them here, although I trust Buffistas more so than others not to abuse the emoticon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My related story would have been the daughter who stole a man from her mother. She's had a very marked thing for men the age of her father all her life.
