That's a good general principle, Fred.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Could someone do me a favor and remove this from the FAQ?
Q: I'd like to find this really cool post someone made about Glory being lame a few months ago. Do I have to look through all those threads?
A: Maybe, maybe not. The Buffistas have their very own search engine, but it only searches Table Talk posts up through Buffy 6. Go to [link] f

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.co.au have them as well.
I don't think there is an Australian Amazon yet.
I know, I know, it's our secret shame.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Huh. My mistake--I thought there was one, because I remember trying to get a book that was only printed in Australia through Amazon.

What's the policy for spoilers for unaired EPs of WF?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Good point. No spoilers allowed.

Nicely done, DX. I was about to edit but I waited, figuring you were on top of it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Incidentally, remind me why we're nixing the NTSC/PAL info?
Also, I would really really be happier if we didn't put the name style stuff in at all. Can people elaborate for me why we feel like it might be necessary? The stylistic stuff, not that about having to prove you're a celebrity if you claim to be.
There was something else, too, but I forget.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are you asking about this text, Liese?
Buffistas tend to choose user names that can be easily used in conversation. Sometimes they are people's real names or nicknames; sometimes they are the names they always wished their parents had the sense to give them. You may feel cosmically drawn to the name @$sd_myxp12, but "What @$sd_myxp12 said" does not fall trippingly off the fingers. To reduce confusion, please avoid the names of famous people, including ME writers, and the names of existing posters. For example, if your name is Tiffany and there is already a Tiffany on the board, pick a variation, whether it be TiffanyT or Breakfast.
Do you not like the @$whatever bit?
