Buffistas

Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't think I could take anyone seriously that takes Gor seriously.

Bingo. These dudes who walk around events and try to get all the women (and I mean ALL women, including those who exclusively identify as dominant) to address them as "Master" get (1) shunned, (2) laughed at, and (3) often asked to leave if they don't stop the non-consensual bullshit.

I mean, really. I just want to get my freak on, and some dude by the soft drinks tells me to suck his cock because he's a Gorean Master. I actually think I pulled a muscle laughing at him.

They tend to stay on the internet, but when they come to events and get all weird (the women, who address every man as "Master," tend to piss people off, too, because, hey, he's not YOUR Master), it never goes well for them.

I like Dune, but I'm not trying to be a Bene Gesserit.

Right? *I* am not building a Bat-Signal.

YET.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I decided to put off reading any of the Gor novels until the publication of Valley Girls of Gor.

Still haven't read any.

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

I like Dune, but I'm not trying to be a Bene Gesserit.

I am, but so far my children have thwarted my efforts to control them with Voice.

I have never read a Gor book. Sounds like I probably shouldn't bother.

I want someone to write a Good Parts edition of Gor, with all the crack-addled Burroughs adventures and none of the sexism.

... it would be a lot shorter, no doubt.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

it would be a lot shorter, no doubt.

I think one book would do it for the series.

I can image a relationship with a Marvel comics fan, with someone who doesn't like bacon, with a person who can't quote Strunk and White, and even one with a comma misuser. It would be hard, but we could work through it. I can't imagine one with a Gor fan.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'd call him Master, Tep. Master Baiter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I knew a guy who had a bunch of Gor books but when I asked him if he'd recommend one he got a little red in the face and started stammering.

Props for self-awareness, anyway!

Nor do I have any sort of plans for when I eventually become the vampire witch-queen of the universe. (Being regarded as cute and harmless works in both mine & Clovis' favor, sometimes.)
