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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I recall far more chimes for "pretty".

Besides, "too pretty" is far too fitting, considering the people who post in Firefly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
pretty, with a side order of damned.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The slug for the Great Write Way says
Discussion and workshopping of original fiction.
Since poetry and essays are also posted there, and since on a few occasions I've seen people question whether they'd even be allowed to post a poem there, I'd love to change it to
Discussion and workshopping of original writing.
Any thoughts or objections?

I think that's a good idea. 'writing' is what it's used for in practice. And trying to stop people posting poetry and things... isn't in the slightest bit sensible.

Just to clarify, there's never been any attempt to stop people posting poetry -- more like an occasional "well, gosh, it's poetry, and I didn't think that was in the scope of this thread" worry on the part of an occasional poet.
