Couple of fic questions:

1. Anybody got the details for Remix Redux? I know we have to email it somewhere, but where? And is there a particular header?

2. Do American schools have an assistant head teacher? Schools here would have a Vice or Deputy Principal. Also, would there be a school office? Would the principal have his own secretary?

2. Yeah, a Vice Principal. In my schools growing up, the Vice Principal was usually in charge of discipline, so he/she would be the one seriously misbehaving students would be sent to. There were a few secretaries in our school, in a central office between the Principal and Vice Principal's private offices. One of them might have been the Principal's particular secretary, but not so's we'd notice. They dealt with notes to get out of class, took the parents' calls about sick days, relayed messages to students, and generally did the paperwork. That whole place was referred to as the office.

There was also the Guidance Department down the hall, consisting of people who helped plan and coordinate schedules, and advised about colleges/post-grad plans, and we just called that place Guidance. There was a secretary there as well.

But since every school is organized and officiated differently, according to size and town and all that, I think any way you described it would work, as long as you didn't use "head teacher" or "headmaster." *g*

Great, thanks! Getting lots of good info from people.

..it's quite sad that normally I'll wing it but for a fluffy Buffy/Connor AU I'll actually do at least some degree of research *g*

Hey, I've actually been known to see my stepmom's Mother Jones magazine and think, "Ooh, when she's done with that, I want it," specifically because it had an article tangentially related to something in an in-progress fic of mine. It all depends on the fic. *g*
