Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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 trip on how happy we could be.

That was incredible, thanks.

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

Totally amazing.

I've adored Doonesbury for years. I remember the gut punch I felt when I realized B.D. had gone down.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I remember the gut punch I felt when I realized B.D. had gone down.

Right? I was afraid at first that he was killed.

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

It makes me feel almost guilty that I lapsed out of reading it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Me, too. I remember a large part of one particular job wherein I spent years reading through the archives in chronological order. After that I kept up daily for a while, but it's been some time since I've been a regular reader. And I should be. Because, love. You know, in that painful and real way.

What is even happening?

Me too, ita.

Corwood, that was great. I didn't really need to fall in love with Garry Trudeau, though.
