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."

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.

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.

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".

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
God, I thought for a minute that said "Dance of Dolphins."
The unpossible has happened, folks; I am too tired to read.
