Oo part deux!
Feb. 20th, 2003 01:37 pmSo I called the place that's doing adoptions on Sat and they're a little freaky with the anti-declawing thing (note: not that I'm saying anti-declawing itself is freaky. I respect that POV. I just disagree with this woman's stance that it TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY RUINS THE CAT FOREVER, DO YOU HEAR ME?? ALL DECLAWED CATS TURN INTO BITING UNHOUSEBROKEN MONSTERS!!!! 'cause, um, no.) but she thought that possibly I could find someone on Sat. Also she pointed me at the Animal Control one town over, b/c she'd heard they had a cat that was just like what I was looking for (younger than Mac, energetic and playful) and sure enough they do.
So - schedule for Sat is to get up early, hit that Animal Control and if that doesn't work out I'll hit the adopt-a-cat thing that's supposedly nearby and if that doesn't work out I'll head back to the Animal Control that's in my town (the reason why I don't hit them first is b/c I called and they said they didn't have many cats at the moment period, let alone what I was looking for).
I'm feeling hopeful.

You mean I'm not already?

If you were Evil Overlord of your fandom for a day, and your dictates were law - what kinds of stories/behaviors/irritating things would you ban? (No banning of fandom_wank or psycho fans from hell, please - y'all can rant about those things another time.)
1. There is. No E. in CHILD!!! No! None! Stop using it, stop saying it, and anybody who busts out with "childre" or "childer" gets their necks snapped.
2. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. No h, no i.
3. No Anne Rice pretentiousness unless it is savagely mocked by the other characters, as God intended. This includes overuse of capitalization and the mistaken belief that all vampires in the Jossverse follow some sort of completely agreed upon customs and heirarchy even though to all evidence you couldn't get two of them to agree on pizza toppings, let alone a rule that you have to declare your lineage every time you say hi.
4. You are forbidden to use the phrase "cold seed" unless your vampire is having sex in a freezer. You are also required to write a three page essay entitled "Room temperature and why I, personally, don't continually suffer from hypothermia whenever I'm indoors"
5. Angelus and Dru may only be written by those who can prove that they understand that they make sense to themselves. Those attempting to write Angelus must also prove that they understand how to write both pure evil, and how to be a good dom.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm running late for work.
