I enjoyed this but would have enjoyed it more if it weren't in little slices. (no text) · Rhiannon · Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 11:46:16 am EDT  This was designed to be posted in little slices. The pacing's geared for it.

[Spoilers] · HH · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 07:46:14 pm EDT  Man, some of these people really know how to kill a party vibe. · Visionary · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 07:26:20 pm EDT  It can't all be quippy banter and bedroom scenes.

(no text) · Rhiannon · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 10:40:20 am EDT  I'm not sure you should be reading things like this at all, young lady. (no text) · HH is even less sure about section 4 · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 11:17:19 am EDT  Here's hoping those crazy kids can make things work. (no text) · Hatman · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 10:40:04 am EDT  I think Caphans get special training in how to make those things work. There are all kinds of techniques. (no text) · HH · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 11:18:30 am EDT  I, too, demand a more explicit telling of this tale. For history, of course. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 09:00:39 am EDT  Proceed. · HH · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 10:11:21 am EDT  And people think pop music has become too explicit... · Visionary · Sat Mar 15, 2008 at 11:32:28 pm EDT  At least the Caphans don't do videos to go with their songs.

(no text) · HH · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 08:16:28 am EDT  Promises, promises (no text) · killer shrike · Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 09:08:00 am EDT  I've just written a section of #328 where it's about as bad as it gets.
