Oh, good one!

Oh yeah, the NG is pretty scary. They post some really great ideas and reviews though. I guess doing the "review" thing is one way to get your foot in the door.

Oh, yeah and that reminds me. I should create a "new members" page or member log for the board in addition to some rules or something. Yeah, fanfic is definitely of the good, just no nc-17 or swearing.

Exactly, this is very key. One thing I've noticed is that if you bully or reprimand someone else because they don't agree with you, then you will fail and turn more against you and your cause. Keep on them but be in the right with just reasons and cause.

>Please don't idealize her in your messages either.
>Acknowledge that she has done some pretty bad things
>(Dear Boy, the dreams, and most of her act in Reprise)
>and then give scenes where you think she has some

Exactly, again. One of the great things about Darla is her many shades of gray, white, and black. Its what made Angel so popular.

>Khali, who is becoming pretty annoyed with a few

You and me both, Khali. Whew!
