Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Oh, I was going to plead with her to take one for the team.

And you're not even around to experience the frothing and hand-waving in person!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

And wiki let me grab it without going into Teh Craxy:

"Several girls wanted to know if Edward would have a more difficult time being around Bella when she’s having her period. Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it–much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It’s not the same as a cut, though. It’s sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning)."

"Q. That time of the month?

A. Yeah, this one's on the lexicon, too. Good call by "...my name..." on the fact that menstrual blood isn't really like normal blood--it's lining and such. Okay, I'm official grossed out now, moving on..."

How can you be a vampire-writin' author and be "grossed out" by blood?! Any blood?

Because she doesn't like vampires, has never read any vampire books, or seen any vampire movies. And has repeatedly said so in interviews. Thus I cling to my desperate notion that the "vampires" in Twilight are actually really, really confused elves or fairies. Hence the sparkle-tastic-ness. BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT VAMPIRES, DAMMIT.

(Whoops, my issues are showing again. And I'm not even wearing the "cranky" bloomers today.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

SMeyer and logic - not to mention consistency - have at best a nodding acquaintance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've never read any Twilight, but I would totally read this fanfic.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've never read any Twilight, but I would totally read this fanfic.

Me, too.

Oberon shook his head sadly. "No, seriously, Edward. We need to talk about a few things. And after you completely fail to comprehend them, I expect I'll need to tie you up in an elven ring for a month so Puck can repeat them at you over and over and over."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Legolas/Jasper! Legolas/Jasper!

Always Anti-fascist!

I could see myself answering a similar question with "He likes it on the hoof,okay?" But I'm crude like that. Remind me when Yuletide is over to post a relevant excerpt. Yeah, I would guess that most vamp writers think blood is neat, not gross.
