Snyder's mother is wierd and that was funny.

Thanks! I'm so glad you found the story funny! I imagine his whole family is very, very strange.

Ahahahaaa Why does it not surprise me Snyder's Mom is into Oedipus? Good banter!

[ubiquirk]

Thanks! It's great to hear that you liked it and found it in character! I'm the same - not too many 100-word drabbles get written, no matter how hard I try.

I love this oh so much. All your dialog is spot on, and I like that you mention Willow telling Buffy about carpe diem; it's a nice flip of Buffy telling Willow to seize the moment.

One thing: There's a typo in Xander's name in the line, "Puzzlement creases Zander’s brow to be joined by pursed lips set to emit some form of “wh-” sound."

Thanks! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and the dialogue! Buffy's great about the seizing, she just never remembers her Latin (laughs).

Thanks - I was just laughing with a friend about the fact that I spell phonetically and how that doesn't work and here I did it!
