I applaud you. sir.

My take on the whole "fae" thing; can it.  Involving faeries in *anything*
these days adds an element of tweeness to the whole production, and while
they don't absolutely *have* to be that way, and weren't originally, I
still don't think using them is worth the bother.

So bugger Auberon the High King and the kelpie he rode in on.

I'm more interested in just what's the deal with all the anal probing
people keep complaining about; rambunctious clios planting false memories
for giggles (or even better, to try and *create* historic sites-- alien
abduction sites), or do modern people just have really messed up sexual
subconsiousnesses?
