I'm sure you'll do great :) Sure, there may be a few temporal issues, but 
I bet Warren could fix you up with a time-shifting gizmo to make it look 
like you're not procrastinating at all... [thinks about that] on second 
thought, don't talk to Warren.

Whereas Spike and a suntan would be a match made in... well, probably just 
my idle afternoon musings, but a guy can hope, right?

Quiet has been making itself known, it's true. Maybe it's harder for 
people to really get into the 'ship when the show itself isn't giving it as 
much screen time as it used to? (Hint: watch reruns on FX, write AU fic in 
previous seasons! It works!)

Don't worry about it. I'm sure nobody on the lists could possibly be as 
scary as a politically-minded gigantic snakey demon.

Then again, I've never met any of the subscribers in person.
