Buffistas

I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

[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.

...I'm just gonna pretend I didn't open that link, okay?

From Ellis's Bad Signal:

We have a new TV Thing. We are going to call this TV Thing Prime. We don't have the paperwork yet, so I can't give details. Its longterm future exists in a quantum state of maybe, but in the short term I get to do some writing. I'm sort of stabbing Joss Whedon, John Rogers and Tim Minear for writing tips right now. So far, I have been told by these elevated talents that 1) Alan Moore could hide me in his beard 2) it's a bit like haiku 3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III. So, as you can see, they're all bloody useless and they hate me.

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

This is one of the most beautiful sentences I think I'll ever see.

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

Warren Ellis is the cutest cutie in cutietown. I wanna kiss him.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Yes, that tends to be the common reaction to him, especially among his Attack Wombs (AKA Forum moderators) on The Engine...

Hmm. Match the helpful writer [a) Joss Whedon, b} John Rogers c) Tim Minear] to the writing tip.

I'm guessing 1b, 2c and 3a.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm too scared of Warren Ellis to want to kiss him.

But he does make me grin an awful lot.

I'm going with 1b, 2a, and 3c.

Warren Ellis doesn't scare me. He makes me want to bake him a pie. I have no idea why.

I thought the haiku line sounded Minearish, too. Dunno about the others.

3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III.

Who noticed Pacino? I was too distracted by Sophia Coppola chewing on the freaking scenery.

ETA: I thought the haiku thing sounded like Joss but it might just be flashbacks to the Bronze.

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

Apparently, I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.
