Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think that what's there should be rewritten

amych's is slightly more practical, I must admit.
But lacking in robots.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR) there will be no t a tags. Which means any URLs will be spelled out, and may need ot be on their own lines to prevent being broken.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think it's a great idea to link to stuff in the confirm email. I also think no one will read it. We should link to it above the confirm password part, at least.

Me too, actually -- which is what I get for posting my mental shorthand for "find the URL for this" as if it were actual prose.
I shall edit to fix that and include robots.

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
Welcome to Buffistas, a collective of people who watch Too. Much. Television.
You're now part of a collective of people who have sent rocket ships to Mars, been interviewed on NPR, have been nominated for an Emmy, published books on Bubblegum Pop, add new words to the dictionary, are experts in the most martial of the martial arts, been a contestant on Jeopardy!, produced the best in cult television, and can discuss the finer points of Salad Shooters for hours on end.
It's a big sandbox, and we share all the toys. We expect you to do the same, so please read the etiquette link carefully, and don't be shy about asking questions about our quirky culture and strange customs.
Buffistas is owned and operated by the users of the board, not any particular corporate entity.
Or you know, something. I just like showing off.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I like what the Pixie said.

Paragraph, will you marry me?
