Corretta Scott King dying just as Samuel Alito is sworn in is…creepily symbolic, even for someone who doesn’t believe in portents. I don’t think I’ll watch the State of the Union speech tonight. I’m depressed enough already. I knew there wasn’t a chance of stopping the Alito confirmation, but the reality is […]

Sort of inspired by gillo’s latest and a grumpy don’t-wanna-go-to-work evening…
S/B, PG-13, post Dead Things
When she finally got around to checking Spike’s crypt, three days later, it was deserted. Clem hadn’t seen him.
She thought about broken bones and sunlight, and searching the alley where she’d left him. She’d know his dust […]

I don’t know the details, but I hear tell that they’re trying to make sure that the fic posted there fits the community rules. Since people’s definitions of dark can […]
On going AU: A fic peeve.
Posted in General on Jan 24th, 2006
OK, I like AUs, in the sense of “What if at X point in canon, this had happened instead?” I love it when an author works out a whole plausible alternate history that’s still recognizably the Jossverse. But recently I’ve run across several stories where the author’s notes or the first chapter of […]

one of the temps got a Dear John letter (phone call, actually). She’s been […]
Writercon waffling
