Well, as all can see, someone did just that here day before yesterday.

I said this very thing yesterday to Kathryn.

Must not read spoilers. Must...not...read...SPOILERS!
No. You absolutely MUST NOT!
I've had people complain about the things I write in my LJ. As a result, I wrote my LJ mainfesto, which explains the purpose behind my writings.
I can, just barely, endure complaints and disagreements (though I find them rude). I will not, however, endure orders not to discuss a subject.

I'd love to see a sequel, though I doubt it'll happen.

It's such a fine word, and so neglected.
