Liza and I have a fine tradition of bribery. Normally she writes X words on an assignment, and I write her Y words on a fanfic/drabble of her choice, and we motor through pretty quickly. Yesterday, faced with notes I could't be arsed with typing up, she told me I'd get a fic bit if I finished typing mine up; I asked for original fic because ( Read more... )

Salome! Not that I know much about biblical women. Am mostly going from Wilde's version.

Mine are Salomé and Delilah. I can do writings about why, too.

Why, why, why, Delilah?!

Sorry. Had to.

Because we share a name

The bird who went and used her wiles to assist decapitation of enemy. Was that Judith?

Judith was all about the vengeance, but going by the art yes, yes there was decapitation and the wiles.

I'm not accepting Wicca as a religion*.

Why not?

~Because it is 98% marketing and I think if you want to worship nature and the forces of generation you should put in some legwork and work out how best to do it yourself instead of buying a lot of silver jewellery and books from the Mind, Body, Spirit, Ripoff section of the bookshop. Paganism should not have set texts.

I know NOTHING about the Bible, although quite worryingly I've been studying the New Testament for seven weeks...

But on a very shallow note, I shall say Jezebel. Because StarGazer named a truly epic nail varnish after her. And she's come to represent shameless debauchery, which can only be a good thing, amirite?

She was a prostitute, was she not? That's being paid to be debauched. Perhaps we should declare her the patron saint of porn stars?

Oh your icon! *happy wriggle*

Yeah, sounds good to me. 'Jezebel, the patron saint of Porn Stars' - It has a nice ring to it, methinks.

It's strangely catchy.

I am going to echo JUDITH. What with the wiles and DECAPITATION and also having an awesome wardrobe.

Maaan. I get the feeling Ms Mary is not going to get any love at all.
