Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Because books.

Okay, but you all know that interest is piqued, right?

Not according to a zillion fic writers.

Piqued, think, and pike.

Though at work I sometimes hear pipe because the process of drug development is often referred to as the "pipeline" so....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm with you on those, ita, even as I give free rein to "thing".

I have no zombie or bionic parts. I'm so boring. Human 1.0, no upgrades. Though I have some sort of bite on my wrist, so there's always hope for insectoid superpowers, suppose.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Okay, but you all know that interest is piqued, right? I mean, I'm expecting to find out breath is baited, you guys are so clearly wrong now.

I'm with you on both of those.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

msbelle, if you think that is going to happen, you have another thing coming!

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

If you don't mind me going for second base, msbelle, you've got free rein.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

msbelle, if you think that is going to happen, you have another thing coming!

But what was the first thing? You can't have "another" thing if there wasn't a first thing.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Think and pike! Wrongheadedness, other people!

I'm with Liese, on account of how Very, Very Right and Correct she is.

Can I at least assume you will all join me to mock the guy who sent a bunch of us an email thanking us for our "patients and assistance" as we work out a new process?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not 'patients and assistants'?

Yes, yes, free rein, *but* reign of terror, rain of toads. Also, pleasepleaseplease fire all fic writers whose protagonists lathe anything on a soft, vulnerable human body.
