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."

Man, I never think on my feet that quickly! L'esprit d'escalier, c'est moi.
Gor is now totally and fully linked with Second Life for me.
Also, I used to work with three people who were Gorean slave girls in SL. In real life they were all men over the age of 60.

For some reason, I just find this delightful.
