"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That was excessive and gaudy. He probably batted his big Mary Sue violet eyes right before he did it.

Plus he's coming back from a career threatening injury? And his wife produces cute twin daughters in the offseason?

Then in the sequel our scrappy second basemen gets taken out on a late slide by the hulking evil brute (Matt Holliday), and then gets the go-ahead hit which said evil brute misplays for an error? THEN Our Scrappy Second basemen catches the last out of the game in the obviously cinematic rain? Like, we haven't seen Shawshank Redemption before? C'mon Giants. You're better than that.

Not to mention the crazy reversed redemption stories for Lincecum/Zito, Panda and the recurring Mat (Latos), Matt (Holliday), Matt (Cain) motif.

Raining anvils, baby.

Seriously?

Did I mention he wins the NLCS MVP? Pfft.

Bunny pets are the best. Only think better is bunny licking your hand. I need to go pet a bunny soon. Bunnies are soft and delightful.

Come visit! You know Cricket fosters them and has several of her own, right? She's currently up to 7.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh god, this is what cats posts read like to you, isn't it?

None of those words make sense. I think the Hulk is protecting Bucky Barnes and then Nick Fury schools everyone. Right? Because that scenario needs more Natasha.

That's awesome! My aunt and uncle only have one. And I think they check my skirts for them before I leave. Well, emo eyeliner bunnies and gray cats.

Cricket has enough that I might be able to sneak one past. She'd hardly notice.

I need a LAista visit soon.

Exactly.

I totally understand baseball.

Are you kidding? If you're not careful, she'll sneak a pair in your suitcase. And yes! Visit!

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

Steph, is the National Coalition of Sexual Freedom an established group within the section of the kink community of which you're a part?

I was just thinking--clearly strong naming (and getting to the punch and being able to name yourselves is key) affects the knee jerk reactions you're going to get, and since you'll probably only get knee jerk reactions from most people--choose extra wisely. Grabbing "sexual freedom" I think is a pretty good choice--it's going to terrify the fuck out of the people it terrifies, but it does pre-dispose you to think that whatever specifics they're talking about, it's probably great! Who doesn't like freedom (like how pro-life was a coup and a half).? Oh, right. Still, it gets the choir on your side before the sermon starts.

Is there any doubt when you see At the Billionaire's Command Parts 1, 2 and 3 Bundle (A BDSM Erotic Romance) that there's a 50 Shades wagon that's being hitched upon? Mayhap even mentioned in the blurb in lieu of any fucking information about the TRILOGY?

Man, I just want to take some people's hands and walk them through the world of fic. The parts are already cast, so you can save time and combine your "naughty" needs with your fantasising about actors. It's so efficient and time-saving.
