You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

Angel ,'Just Rewards (2)'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Power to him. That's a big and exciting jump, and a dream for so many of us in one form or another.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've often idly wished I could make a living by watching tv and reading books and talking about them, but I didn't think it was possible. Good on ya, Mark.

Did anyone else read Mark's Watch of Ted?

I did, Zen.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

1) i would have gobbled up the Twilight books when I was the right age. Big thick romance - you bet. I understand the appeal. 2) I know a number of girls that read it- and one that literally threw the last book across the room and refused to have anything more to do with the series. 3) every single girl I've talked to that is head over heels into the books - knows they are reading fantasy- they know that in real life - waking up and finding some guy sneak into their room while sleeping would be creepy But, like teenage boys, they have a lot of wild hormones going in wild directions that they don't know what to with them . 4) if Twilight was one of the first things they read - pretty much paranormal fiction is the way they go. some go romance , some go horror, some go mystery. All of those elements are there. And for other - reading those really big fat books, opens the idea of reading for fun/pleasure.

as for talking to kids about them , well they are junk food books. But as an adult I read a lot of junk food books. So I'm not hard with kids that read them . I tend to say things like" I love vampire novels - but the Twilight books are nto even close to traditional vampires. I like my vampires scary. I see Twilight as more of a romance novel - so it just isn't to my taste"

why no _ I haven't thought about this

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not "read better books" but "imprint on healthier interaction". It's a whole different thing.

Well yeah, that's a different issue.

It's really Innocence where it all goes down, innit? Looking forward to it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Surprise is overwhelming the server a bit...
