I think this post is dead on. Dr. Horrible vs. Captain Hammer. The Monarch vs. Dr. Venture. Love and jealousy. Now I need a nemesis. Should I have auditions, do you think? Viv, you’re not wrong.

Now I need a nemesis. Should I have auditions, do you think?

I would just lock you up in a giant birdcage (gilded, yes, because that's how I roll) and I would feed you candy until all your teeth fell out of your head. I've never kept a writer as a pet, but I bet you are wonderful, living on tea and typewriters as you do, dreaming of your many delightful worlds. But I must remain loyal, Ms. Lafferty! You mustn't tempt me so, dear, with all of your sweet talk and understanding regarding my. . .unfortunate. . .condition. I'm a one Arching woman, and I mustn't stray, even if you are a lovely chocolate crumpet. Yours, Dr. Mercury M.D. Ph.D. PS: There is no poison in your food. Not even a dash of mind-control powder, which isn't really poison at all. Not really. In small doses. Dear Ms. Mur Lafferty,
