(Although, when I first saw this topic title, I though it was going to involve BAU-style profiling rather than the journalistic approach.)
Y'know, she *did* win that auction, to be written into an SU episode... (Now I'm wondering whether she'd be profiled as a victim or an UnSub.  ) Embrace the power of "and"! |

ACK! No, no, this is a BAD place for AND! Bad, bad, bad place for and.

(Now I'm wondering whether she'd be profiled as a victim or an UnSub. ) Embrace the power of "and"! Some situations are "either/or", not "both". (Yes, I know punctuation belongs within the quotes, but I hate that rule, and deliberately break it in casual writing.) |

aw, now. if I were you I'd be pleased to be named as the dead girl in a fictional murder mystery. *g* and if you survive you'd get face time with the team! and be on the very short list of People Who've Met A Gamma And Lived. *obviously fictional is the operative word. |

Depends on where you live. In Commonwealth countries, punctuation very definitely belongs outside of the quote marks. So you can just claim you're doing it our way, if you like! |

Even if you don't survive, you'll probably get face time with the team. (And all sorts of oogy time with Frost, but I won't mention that.) |

Yeah, but if I die in the episode, I probably don't get to talk to them anymore, cuz I'll be dead to them.

<The Governator>Sarah Connor? (Blam, blam, blam, blam) </The Governator> So they kill off your evil twin/impostor/innocent victim with the same name.... (A girl I was at uni with found she was doing English Lit with a girl with exactly the same name down to middle name, and the same date of birth -- I can't remember how they distinguished them in paperwork). |

Maybe MG will get to be the chef who is tapped by the researchers at Idlewood to valiantly create fabulous food with incredible caloric value that will keep Chaz, Hafs, and many others healthy despite their unique metabolism.
It could happen.

I vote for a The Field type dinner set at The Night Kitchen. Can MG break Liz the Dubliner's record in flirting with the most WTFers at once, or will she go easy on Chaz so he won't be too embarrassed to ever speak to her again?

Oh, yes! and Chaz can order everything on the menu! (That's the problem with the Night Kitchen, soooooo much good stuff and so little capacity... though there's always room for key lime pie.)

oooh, you are their LJ friend too, aren't you? Yeah, I can see that would be a problem. .....though, killing off an Internet Friend they've only just met in person is the kind of nasty thing our PTBs would do to them. |
