Anya ,'Storyteller'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Going back to the crime statistics for a moment...I feel like women are more likely than men to be the target of a serial killer. I mean, obviously, there have been cases where serial killers victimized men but they don't seem to be the norm.
Though that could be just my perception from watching too much A&E.
The wikipedia page said that serial killers were often sexually motivated -- this may account for much of the discrepancy in targets.
Or something. I have no lungs left, so I'm coughing out my brain.
I was reading up on serial killers earlier this year. A lot of them focus on prostitutes, because when a prostitute drops out of sight, nobody (or nobody the police will pay attention to) notices or cares.
Very, very depressing.
I have a migraine. Maybe my brain is off drinking martinis with your brain? Except that I don't like martinis. Stooopid brain. Drink rum punch instead.
Heh. I think I like Goad because I enjoy unrepentant assholes as long as I don't have to deal with them personally. I still think that Shit-Magnet would have been an Oprah book if he was a woman.

And thanks for the news about the Inside, Kristen and Allyson. I can't wait!
Adam Baldwin. Rock. That is fanfreakingtabulous. Also, glad the serial killer conversation--certain parts of it--happened after Nilly's friends were checking out our suitability for hosting her. IJS. Good day in the Minearverse.
Can we go to test screenings? Please?!? Of course, by "we" I mean "I."
D'oh! I hit post before I meant to: for "pretty high" substitute "100-150K." Because "pretty high" conveys nothing at all.
An article I read in GQ last year gave an estimate as high as 200,000 annually, though I don't think they had reliable statistics to back it up. My assumption is that's number of incidents rather than number of victims, which would be somewhat lower.
I wonder -- when they update the rape numbers to include prison rape, what female numbers will come up.
