I heart the Buffista Official Translation Engine.

I've gotten some backstory at The Fusilage, but find it's much more fun and informative to discuss here, even without the VIPs. Partly, because of, well, buffistas. But also because I find that the one thread is not enough, and the unlimited threads of their threaded board is just too many.

I wasn't around in the early days of this board, and when I first started reading here, I thought the long discussions over whether or not to add a thread seemed kind of anal, but I sure appreciate that now. Thanks to all who made this such a great board!

I'm getting verklempt, without alcohol even. And the psycho-kitty is crying for attention, so I'll post and run. Ta.

OMG, he's posting from the FUTURE!!

Oh, it's the whole international date line thing, isnt' it? Wait a minute, Hawaii is on OUR side of the line. Huh. Maybe the island has wacked space-time continuum, on top of OMGWTF POLAR WEAR, creepy French zombie women, and invisiblemechasaurs.

I wonder if this board is the source of DDK's angst.

Nah, I don't think we are that high on the collective fannish radar (and thank GOD for that.) He's probably talking about TwoP/Fuselage. I do hope Evangelin Lilly isn't reading TwoP, because the Kate-bashing there is a bit out of control, plus there has been tons of criticism of EL's acting there of late. I mean, not that there isn't validity in those opinions, but ouch.

Kate-bashing

Who is bashing my Kate?

I shall bitch-slap each of them.

Evangelin Lilly is knocking her part out of the park.

And talented

The man has always given something extra to the line

posting from the FUTURE!!

And did we mention, also HOTT!!?!

I'm so glad I don't go to the big boards.

Vonnie, why you up so late, anyway? BTW, I spent the afternoon with Laura Shapiro, we watched a ton of Buffy eps from season 2 and it was very fun. You need to come out here to SF and hang out with us.

I'm so glad I don't go to the big boards.

Yup. The Buffistas who dare can brave them and come back to me with sweet snippets of gossip and backbiting. And I benefit from the insight without having to deal with the, you know, other boards.

Hmm. Consuela chest.

Nummy.

Vonnie, why you up so late, anyway?

Because I took a three-hour nap on the couch in the early evening on account of my bodily clock being on crack, and now, I can't sleep. Plus, I'm on the last few pages of Shards of Honor and in total love with Cordelia. I was gonna go to bed soon as finish the book, but I keep getting distracted by this thread, which is shiny and full of pretty witty people and also I had quite a bit of wine. Whee! t hiccups

You spent quality Buffy-time with Laura! Jealous, am I. Really, I need to come over there so that I could meet y'all and do the Vertigo tour like Nutty and frolick with the Beast. Soon, I say! Soon!

I don't think we are that high on the collective fannish radar ...

This might be true. There might be fans that do not have the Buffistas stuff. They might be in the majority. See: The last election.

A Korean Bujold fanatic!

Well, NSM, seeing how this is my first Bujold. A few days ago, I innocently asked a few people, "So, this Miles Vorkosigan series--should I bother or what?", and like, people came running out from the virtual netspace in STAMPEDE to urge me on. And apparently Miles needs ritalin smoothies and Ivan needs to get hitched to someone stable and Gregor is a good catch. Folks had me doing FCM with the characters I haven't even met. I figured, that kind of enthusiam from so many people whose tastes I respect can't be wrong, and it wasn't, because here I am, hooked after the first book.

Wow. It's almost 3 am. Gotta hit the sack if I wanted to function at all tomorrow. I also brought work home ::groans:: but I'll think of that tomorrow. Well, today. Later.

'Night, folks!
