It's almost too bizarre to destroy. Maybe we should leave the folder and just change the name to Zeo's Playground.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
MOM!!! Jess is being evil again!
This is fascinating, in a sad way.

Oh, okay. I'll just sit back and back in the oddness of it all, then.
[edit:
MOM!!! Jess is being evil again!
Again? Had I stopped?]

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It IS strangely fascinating, isn't it?

Victor, I said on Bitches yesterday that it's almost become like lurking at Worldwide Communications. I don't fully understand what I'm reading, yet I can't look away.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There's a new Artist Thread, too.
Can't we just whisk the Diaspora folder away? You know, like the tablecloth? And leave those threads behind?

What's really strange is she's not really doing anything ... nasty. She's creating kind of prosaic threads, not "Buffistas are fuckos!" threads.
I don't know if she thinks that she's got squatter's rights there or something.

It appears to me that she's creating threads with subject headers, trying to attract someone with any of those interests to talk to. And since "The Buffistas" aren't there (right now), she has "inherited" the "abandoned" folder.
Many apologies for punctuation abuse.
ETA- I don't think the concept of "backup" has occurred to her.
