Someone needs to help The Tolkein Professor with that website problem.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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."

I know. I hate it when sounds start up as soon as a site opens.

The new books were horrible though. Horrible!
I know. The first ... four? Were entertainingly cheesy. But the latest ones are just ew.

What was weird was that I turned on my sound to watch the video on the copycat covers site, not really focusing on the fact that I'd opened the TP page in another tab.
So I got a very thoughtful and crunchy dissertation on the way a narrative is built while watching a cover being composited.

If you're looking for some other good Tolkein discussion, my online friend Kate Nepveu did a chapter-by-chapter reread of LotR for the Tor.com site: [link]
It's quite a great discussion, with some cool arguments in the comments. I'm waiting for her to post her commentary on the last movie, as well.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
personally, i think all the VD books are terrible. i'm still amazed someone read them and thought they'd make a good series.

Note to a certain writer of "humorous" fantasy and SciFi. Yes I know that many writers do more research than their fiction requires. But you are definitely doing too little research if you are writing a Japanese character and the only character name you can come up with is "Sushi".
