Re Supernatural:

I may know what a Tin Hat is. I may have a nodding acquaintance with the concept. But WHY are 'they' called Tin Hats specifically?

Re 'zine Feedback:

What does LOC actually stand for?

Re The Rule of three:

Why is it so strong?

Random Aside:

I know fairy tales are traditionally gruesome and have only been sanitised over time, but I was browsing hrough some Ladybird books the other day - (the 60s era)and they had Snow White choking on the apple and the dwarves keeping her in a glass coffin as she was 'so beautiful', then, after 'many days', a stray prince walks by, spots her and 'falls in love'. He then negotiates with the dwarves to take her dead body and coffin away with him!

Random Aside #2

I think these books are where some of my kinks came from!

Rapunzel - Prince falls from tower, is blinded in the fall and wanders bloody and starving (in the dessert for some reason!?) until she finds him and weeps tears to cure him.

Beauty and the Beast: Beauty pines away for her father and Beast lets her go home to ease her suffering. Beast pines away ("I'm starving myself to death")and Beauty comes back and weeps more healing tears over him.

Sleeping Beauty: Had pictures of the Prince, all bloody and scraped hacking his way through the fierce hedge to get to his princess.

hurt/comfort? blood?!!
