Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Questions we're probably not supposed to ask about Twilight -- if Jasper can't control himself if Bella gets a papercut while he's standing a few feet away, how on earth does he go through a world full of adult women and a high school full of teenage girls? Or, y'know, all the people who get papercuts all the time, or cut themselves shaving, or any of the zillion other reasons someone might be bleeding a little.

Vampire stories always seem to overlook the whole menstruation thing.

Because books.

I read a Buffy fic once that really, really didn't.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And didn't Theodore Sturgeon once do a story that addressed the issue? my memory is vague on this ... as on many other issues.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It was a big thing in a later Anne Rice. The Body Thief or the one after that, I think.

I'm assuming the magic underwear factors in somehow.

Uh, that was probably mine, if it was set between S5 and S6.

Always Anti-fascist!

I liked that one, I think, but I was probably on my period when I read it.

She used to post at the old WX site, back in the day.
