The authors of Refracted Light respond to the earlier discussion about the site around these parts.

The SCIFICTION appreciation project. I'd thought about something similar for Short Form (amongst, you know, all those other things I'm meant to be doing but not.)

That's one class article, that.

And I don't say that just because I share an initial and a surname with her.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see that your first name is spelled in a less silly manner.

[mattia.livejournal.com]

That's 'cause I'm classy, see?

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Umm, yes. Absolutely. Totally, 100% classy dude.

[mattia.livejournal.com]

I am, honest!

'specially when dressed as NINJA. Of Beigeness.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Your Beigeness knows no boundaries.

Why, Mr V - with your malfunctioning WATER PISTOL ARM you are really spoiling us with class!

[mattia.livejournal.com]

It functioned just lovely, thanks. It just wasn't properly loaded the first time I tried wetting you (fnarr).

[immortalradical.livejournal.com]

Oh, brilliant. As if there's not enough space captain slash floating around today. WELL DONE, MATTIA.

His other names are sillier.

Adriano - after his grandmother

Egidio - It means Giles. HEEEEEE.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

He had a lot of names! I don't think those are too bad. Although, Giles - hee!

[mattia.livejournal.com]

He had

???

I'm talking about Mattia, who is very much alive.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Whoops. S is right next to D on the keyboard, don'tchaknow ;) kthankxbai.

[giantbedsprings.livejournal.com]

Sorry - That one from Mattia was actually me.

Now that we know you can log in as Mattia, the more paranoid among us might now start thinking that you've killed him and are just maintaining his account to keep up appearances. After all, none of us have actually seen him since Hoggtoberfester ...

[giantbedsprings.livejournal.com]

Actually, I can't log in as him. It just so happened that I used his computer as my laptop has been at mine for a while. I promise you he's alive :)
