The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, July 11
CORDELIA: I’m not a sniveling, whiny little Cry-Buffy. I’m the nastiest girl in Sunnydale history. I take crap from no one....Back off, Polygrip! You think you’re bad, being all mean and haunty, picking on poor pathetic Cordy? Well, get ready to haul your wrinkly translucent ass out of this place because, lady, the bitch is back.

- Fiction Rating Key Here
- "NR" = "Not Rated"
- Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glances show they're needed. The "F-bomb" requires FRMA, no matter how it's used. Graphic depictions of violence and/or child sexual abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)
