I'm betaing a fic for Cassie, and Elladan's name in the original fic has just appeared as Eln, bn. A mini perhaps, but it's a hell of a typo. In one of mine and Trojie's missions a while back (Ethul'waew, or something) there were a lot of similar typos. The author of that badfic actually came across our missions, and commented that the crazily mis-spelled names, and other words too, were a result of aff.net spazzing out. I'll believe her, as I've seen similar mangled words in many aff.net fics.
So, my question: would this mangling, as it's the fault of the website rather than the author, create minis? Only it doesn't seem quite in the spirit of things to my mind. Thoughts?

Actually, I think the plan is just to let it go away itself and then only come out at night for the next two months, but I shall bear that in mind should I be subjected to the perils of sunlight again.

Brown Willy came up last night, if you'll excuse the pun. A friend took me out for a congratulatory welcome-to-the-2:1-club pint, and we got onto the subject of dodgy place names. He's apparently got a book of loads of them, which I shall happily share when he finds it.
There's a Cock Alley in Derbyshire somewhere too.

Well, I remember all that stuff happening on the version I saw. So I'm guessing 'no' :P
Maybe the retcon doesn't work because all the Sues are half-Time Lord... Presumably their brain chemistry is different.
Now that I come to think of it, there was an actual episode where an old friend of Jack's popped up out of nowhere and knew all sorts of things about what was really going on. But Captain John Hart is just that *awesome* :) And I can't remember now if he actually knew about Torchwood or not.
Hmmm. Must rewatch stuff.

I do think that death's a bit too final, there are some exceptions such as Jackson were I can happily think "Well, good riddance." I think the same for any major criminal (e.g. rapist, murderer etc).

how top get bold and italics in html
On the left there is a further list of html tutorials. html is not that difficult. If you can properly punctuate a sentence (and I do believe you can) you can mannage html, or at least, putting (parts of) sentences in bold or italics.
Oh, and welcome.

Can I call you Tirry? Just kidding. I value my non-incinerated-ness. Is that a word? Probably not.
Formality is completely unnecessary, except perhaps with Flowers. But most agents don't even use it with them.
