Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well, babe, we only have your word that it is. And you're biased. Wouldn't want to get in "contrapment"

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

If I only had a brain...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How can you tell?

Oh yeah... after Susan posted the link to that legitimate cover vote, I went back and found the spoof cover website we'd laughed about way back when. Lord of the Hissyfit and so forth...
