Oh no, Deena! I'm so sorry to hear that.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, no. Poor Deena. I knew I hadn't seen her around in eons, but I had no idea...

That's terrible about Deena. Is there anything we can do?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, I didn't realize it was that bad. Poor Deena.

She's had several surgeries over the last couple of years, and I think there was a gall bladder or something removed. There's been very little word in several months, and I've stopped sending emails because I don't want to add to the burden.
A lot of the authors who worked with Drollerie are being moderately pissy because "she should have gotten us word somehow, this isn't how you run a business, etc." There for the grace of God go you, nitwits.
If anyone deserves a miracle, it's her. I don't know of anyway to contact her other than email. I can only assume the mailing address I have from a few years ago is still good. I'll dig that up and send a note, perhaps that will at least cheer her up a bit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, no, Deena!! That's awful. Is there anything we can do to help?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh no, Deena! I had no idea.

Behold the sheer wonder that is the Halloween costume I saw at Target today: [link]
I *love* that it's explicitly labeled *cool* vampire. Because nothing's cooler than that ruffly shirt and vest with chains. NOTHING.

There ... there are several really bitchy comments I could make about that costume, relating to the Seattle scene. But I won't.
However, I will say that the idea of the vest is kinda nifty. It could be done much, much better, but the idea is good.

Oh, I'm not opposed to a vest. Just *that* one. Oh, man.
