Since I don't belong to Gather, will comment here.
I could answer the second set of questions affirmatively, FAR more easily than the first. Your comment about the King cutting off heads if we don't keep'em laughing was spot-on.

Hahaha fair enough. I did use a whole bunch of cultural examples that don't do much for me either. But it is the language of Gather.

I read the article and comments just now

[newwaytowrite.livejournal.com]

there seems to be nothing but support so far. Maybe your detractors are sleeping in?

I wish you a fine weekend! You always seem to write with passion and clarity all that the same. That is a fantastic skill.

Thank you. Yeah I posted this before anyone had commented. So far, so good. It is Easter weekend, so I might have a free pass.

You should not make me laugh and snort hot coffee. It is very painful.

If I don't say it enough, I love and envy your verbal flair.

Also, you win at the internets for all your gather storming.

I'm pleased to see the comments look civil and intelligent - then again Mr. retardation hasn't showed up (and hopefully won't). I read a fair amount of slash and it wasn't until two years ago that I ran into a post by a woman who an ardent slash writer and fan who strongly opposed gay rights - my reaction was a mixture of shock, horror, and ultimately amazement that someone could be that selfish and uncaring.

She was actually the inspiration for this.

this is absolutely brilliant.

i'm betting the splodey will happen after sunday. everyone who is likely to go nuts over this is probably at church.

Thank you and this is a good point. There seems to be one or two people being anti gay, mostly focusing o the parenting issue. But folks seem to have it well in hand.
