Oh, the Woad society set! SO marvelous. I need to watch them again and send feedback, and give them back to Laura. But they're so great!
This year I'm totally getting the Vividcon dvds.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Had to come and share this here...
A writer acquaintance of mine posted on her LJ that while friendsfriendsing she encountered a new peril of the interbunny: RPS starring her boss. In a threesome.
There was much joshing about how she can never get drunk at the office Christmas party, lest she reveal to her boss the hot porn of him on the net.

Thrive to spite them
I was following a weblog, slackivist (it's mostly political commentary) but there's also a dissection of the Left Behind book...almost a page by page dissection of how horrid it really is.
The guy writing the blog was introduced to fanfiction by someone and the term Mary Sue (which he immediately applied to the main characters). He also said that he found Left Behind fanfiction.
At the time I was kind of surprised but I really shouldn't have been.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
He also said that he found Left Behind fanfiction.
It's probably WAY better written than the actual books. And maybe the characters get to swear and get laid.

It would have a hard slog being worse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of the canon bits are interesting, but mostly I enjoyed being shocked at the 100% fanon entries.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oy. Some of the 100% fanon entries are the sort of things that take me right out of the story, no matter how well-written the rest of it may be, blood tears (the hell?) and purring in vampires being the most egregious examples. I'm not fond of "childe" or "whelp" either.

Blood tears, I believe, are part of the traditional vampire legend.

The Buffyverse never struck me as a place to introduce or assume any traditional vampire legends that Joss hadn't already dealt with. Insistence on doing so mostly made me think of "They're separate from humanity, and must carry the burden of immortality. They are creatures above us. Exalted."
