Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I like that Giles a lot. If you've seen the Buffy comics, most folks have a terrible time doing a good likeness of Giles.

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
Why not just email Eric and ask him, CaBill?

Umm...
You know Allyson, I could. Didn't really think about it, because he is professional artist, and I never really feel comfortable talking to them, because in my other hat, my budget never allows me to pay them what they are worth. And I hate to interrupt them while they are (in theory) doing paying work.
Okay, I will do a recon for the Buffistas...

His email addie is right on his site, though. If it's a bother, he won't respond. No harm, no foul.
Am I the only asshole in the world that just emails random people to find shit out when I'm curious? Is this a faux pas?

Nah. I think it is F2F habits just bleeding over in the online world. In the real world, going up to a stranger and tapping them on the shoulder to ask them a question has a certain weight to it that sometimes people unconsciously carry over...
I think.

I do it. When it's a stranger, I'm polite, but if I'm genuinely interested and their e-mail is public, I don't think it's a problem.
Edit: After all, I put my e-mail on my fic site so people can do exactly the same thing. I do it less often in meatspace, though I have been known to go up to people and just ask stuff, especially when the setting's not *entirely* random (say, classroom).

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

But if they put their email up on their site, isn't it an "ask me how!"?

Totally. Someone emails my private address i don't know, different kettle of fish. My main address is fine.
As if anyone ever mails me cold, but you get the picture...

Hey. New board.
Ummm... Am I the only one for whom that last link is dead dead dead?
