Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Why do I get the sense that we are perilously close to naming the thread Buffista Movies: I Love My Dead Gay Pudding?
Cause it would rock. As would:
I Love My Dead Gay Cowboy
which I like even betterer.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Save a horse; Ride a gay pudding?

Save a Girl; Eat a Pudding?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I Love My Dead Gay Cowboy would work for me just fine.

Changing my vote to this, as it can be applied to the Buffyverse as well as current movies.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have an etiquette question. This is an x-post from my LJ:

My agent has asked me to come up with an informal 'net marketing plan for my book to send to the editors who have expressed interest in it.

So! I'm asking my friends, friends of friends, anyone who is interested in my book, to help with ideas.

Let me know if you're willing to plug my book on your site! I can probably do a handful of giveaways, and send out another handful for review.

I get a little wonky about self-promotion, it's not something I'm asking for, lightly. I'm used to cheerleading for others.

If you're willing to generously give me a plug, let me know how many hits your site averages per month so I can include that in the marketing plan.

Also, I apologize for leaning. I hate asking for such things. It's just that I think it could tip the balance in my favor towards someone buying if I can prove I can be my own cheerleader, and I want this more than I've ever wanted anything in my whole life, so I'm bracing myself and asking for help.

Help?

Would that be inappropriate for Press?

I really don't know, and I'm uncomfortable asking in the first place, let alone adding a faux pas to the squick.

I'm just hyper-nailbitey about causing eyerolls with my supreme neediness and don't want to cause people to hate-on me for being so needy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think it would be ok for Beep Me.

I don't think so, Allyson. In a way, you're writing about us ("us" being fandom). Why shouldn't we help you in any way that we can?


Jesse - Jan 19, 2006 8:07:16 am PST #6206 of 10001
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't see it being inappropriate.


DXMachina - Jan 19, 2006 8:07:21 am PST #6207 of 10001
You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think it's fine for Press.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think people would want it in Press, in order to have the opportunity to help out Allyson.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Allyson, I find myself wishing I operated a high-traffic site in order to help with the plan.

I think it would be good for either announcement thread, myself.
