I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What Liese said. If that is her real name.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Agree with Liese generally, but maybe we could replace it with something (or put something in the registration FAQ) discouraging names that would foster confusion?

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

That text should go on the registration page itself, I think.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I agree. Something about not using names of ME writers, actors, etc.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Q: What's up with the American syndication schedule for Mutant Enemy shows these days?

Considering how often the re-airing schedules on FX and TNT are likely to change, I'd suggest just putting a link to the FX and TNT websites, rather than trying to keep up every time FX moves Buffy. I tracked down those links and included them when I posted my few FAQ revisions.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I also would, maybe, love it if we could gently suggest pronounceable names? I don't give two shits if it's your real one, I'm scrolling past numbers.

And maybe to email stompies/ask in bureau if you want to change it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What Liese said. If that is her real name.

Cause, you know, it's not. Kinda. And thus the guilt.

Ha HA! See, that's the thing. It's hard to even tell who around here is using their real name and who is not.

If I only had a brain...

New topic: I think it would make sense if COMM'ed filk went on to the filk page rather than the BRQG. Thoughts?

Hmmm. It could go both places. We could beg Shrift to have two buttons, one for quotes and one for filk quotes. Or just as Betsy said. I've actually got no preference, though I haven't been to the filk site in a while.
