Oh, you card.
Also, such fics as "Rocket to Insanity" and "Shattered Rainbow" are enough for your touching fix for the day.

On the topic of fanfic...
It bugs me to no end when writers use font sizes, weights, or styles to convey manner of speaking.
I get it. It's an emotional scene. So the shout/whisper/monotone makes sense. What doesn't make sense, however, is increasing the size and bolding your character's shouts, shinking and italicizing their whispers, or typing their BSODd, muttered words in small caps.
You are not making a flier, I shouldn't have to zoom in to read your work, and you are not Terry Pratchett, though I dearly wish you were.
If you've written the scene in a way that I can imagine the emotions of the characters, then seeing the dialogue is enough for me. You're trying too hard, Mister or Misses Fanfic Writer.

It sounds to me like your business has an unacceptably high turnover rate.
Have you considered that by rotating your employees out so quickly, they never master the skills you need for your enterprise to be effective?
A little kindness can go a long way, after all.

I'se reckon I could keep one over 401k and not give 'im an eye patch, a peg leg, and a hook fer a hand. I'se thinkin' I'd give his arse a rudder and his belly a cannonball instead.

I'd prefer it to be Fluttershy or Twilight, but even with Dash I estimate my heart exploding the second I open the box.
On the other hand, I will kill anyone who stands in my way to have this.

No doubt. I think though, that Twilight is the pony it'd be easiest for me to get along with. We are both quite strict about writing and such.
