( Or Simon and Kaylee are complex people, gorramit. )

*Title taken from Joss Whedon’s exclamation from the Objects in Space commentary and one of my favourite Sean Maher stories from a convention with Jewel Staite:

Question: This is kind of a silly question, but did it just drive you crazy that Kaylee and Simon never to got to kiss on the show??

Jewel: Yeah! >>general laughter<< When we got canceled, I was shooting a scene with Gina and Nathan and Adam. And Nathan was like "Well, let's go to my house and drink." And we were like "Ok". So we all went to his place, and we called everybody from there and told them the news. And said "Come by. And bring booze." >>general laughter<< And umm, Sean walked into Nathan's place and he was like >>throws up arms, looks around<< "We never got to kiss!" It was like the first thing he said! And I started laughing. I was like "Oh my God!" But, it's true you know, it kind of bugged me a little bit. And it was like the running joke. Everybody was like "Goddam you guys. Get a room >>general laughter<< Do it"

Scheduling and Hiatus

[titti]

We'd like to let all our readers know that there are no scheduled essays from November 1 to November 8, so don't panic when you don't see any more essays.

Any author who was not able to finish his or her essay on or before his or her own scheduled date is welcomed to post during this week. Moreover, after November 8, pairings that had been originally assigned but never completed will be offered to any writer who is interested in doing an essay. If you have started an essay but have not been able to finish it in time, and still would like to submit it, please contact the mods.
