What's the difference between Pagan and Wiccan? (I am dumb.)
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Candy and flying, obviously.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Essentially, Wiccan:Pagan::Catholic:Christian.
(Except for the part where "pagan" is a much broader and vaguer term than "Christian" -- it's more an umbrella term than anything with its own actual meaning. But it's handy for those of us who don't fit into any of the specific pagan religions with names and definitions.)
Also, Wiccans can play Quidditch.

Thanks!
Also, I want to be Wiccan so I can fly. It would be so handy.

Astonishing Stories update: newcomer Jason Roberts, "7C," good stuff. I did not think you could write a horror short story about quasars, but guess what.

She's brilliant.
Marry me.
Yay, my first buffista proposal!
I do seem to remember that Rowling had nearly every ill in the Potter-verse treatable by chocolate, but I could just be projecting my own inner drama on the text.

Just Dementor exposure, right?

Could be. I thought that Harry got chocolate most of the time that he ended up in the infirmary. But it's been over a year since I last cracked a HP book, so I can't swear to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not to mention EXPECTO PATRONUS!!!
If this a) works IRL and b) has anything to to with tequila, I may convert to Wicca.
