I'm presuming you have written about the non-loving of Joss? Cause if not good for many words. Also I presume you have told tales of sex or lack thereof - no porn needed; just do some mythbusting or confirm that some stories are not myths. (I ran into several works of fiction lately that portrayed orgies routinely takeing place in higher floors of cons. I'm presuming this is an attempt to appeal to the 13 year old market rather than a realistic portrayal.) Anyway "No sex in the champaigne room" would make a good added chapter.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Anyway if the archetypes appeal start with that. After you have used up those, come back to the buffistas for more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Another thought, Allyson: the book is divided into sections, right? How about an introduction for each part?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was wondering about that too, Allyson. Maybe even an intro by one of the people in the essay?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How about one on romantic relationships that came out of fandom--people who met specifically through fandom and fell in love. Do Nora and Tom count? Or are there any love matches that came out of The Bronze or Cons? You might ask them how sharing an interest like this made their relationship easier--or harder.
I also love the idea of slang definitions.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Robin, IIRC, Allyson has an entire essay based on Kat and Lori.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
It is hard to parse "heh" into a compliment. If anyone can do it, though, it is me. Faint praise is my very meat. I am damned to make these few words in the hope that some brief contact will be made before the reader's attention skitters elsewhere.
This is why I choose these few words. They are only a hundred marchers in the long parade of human thought, but they may march up on a "heh" one day and trample it into a compliment. This is my hope.
These are my few words. There are a hundred of them, more or less, each of them heartfelt.

Heh. Heh heh.
Gus has gone meta-Zen!

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds cool, so it is mine.

You bet, Deb, and a fab essay it is, too, but Kat & Lori didn't meet each other because of Buffy. I suspect there are folks in love out there who never would have met except for fandom activities and those might make a good essay.
