People have drawn back a nub for less than that. (Sniff--the good old
days.) But I think Wendy's busy--watching the Paris eps of Raven & crafting
her Euros posts for us. (And suitably drugged for the grim task, I hope.
Or, maybe she'll actually find AP lurking in the Euro bits, OTHER than in
shamelessly recycled HL:TS footage.)

Slashing DM is evil, of course, & should be a vanquishable offense.
Slashing other fictional characters in blatant disregard for applicable
canon is rude, in my opinion. Ferret/weasel is just messy, though I'm sure
it's been done. (That's OK, Marina & Kamil--keep those F/W fanfic sites to
yourselves. I beg you.)

But what does slash have to do with nekkid weasels?

But, Nina, it would take all the fun out of it if we couldn't
annoy you with them!!

Where did you think I order the ferret livery from?

The canned ferret is all natural. Oh. You mean food *for* ferrets,didn't you.

All the ferrets here at Immortals Inc. are well dressed. There may be a few blood stains now and then but that's why we order dark colored uniforms.
>Yet, I always picture _weasels_ as... well... nekkid.
Excuse me? That's a bit too Canadian for my taste. :::makes a note to stay clear of Hawaii for a bit:::::makes further note to send a stoat Nina's way::::::

rob and I have an arrangement. He's allowed to look askance at me. I'm allowed to knock his rocker askew.

I'm not sure I can do it. The pain..the pain. And the possibility that I taped over the old Ravens. If I get so bored that shaving patterns into the ferrets looks like fun, I'll see what I have left on tape.

Verily. It made me queasy 10 years ago. Now it just seems so...no..it still makes me queasy <eg>
>Slashing other fictional characters in blatant disregard for applicable

You just don't get it. It's there ..you just don't see it. All TV writers insert slashy moments into all TV shows so that fans of "that" persuasion (whatever "that" persuasion is) can enjoy the show equally well as those of us who blanch at the idea of Hop Sing boinking Hoss.
> Ferret/weasel is just messy, though I'm sure
>it's been done.
It's not generally spoken of in polite company. Sometimes a great deal of counseling can help..other times only institutionalization works.
Wendy(10 years and 1000 conversations and I *still* can't wrap my head around slash.)(Marina has done her best to educate me.)(Stubborn, I am.)
