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."

Props for self-awareness, anyway!

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

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

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.)

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

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For some reason, I just find this delightful.

Me too.

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

I find it horrific! You can't pretend to be consensually oppressed (yes, I think it can be a thing) me! Aiee.

Yes, they told me. Right around the time one of them was describing all the code in the slave collar, and I was like "and you know this how?...oh. Oh. Huh. Is your master really a guy?"

But it's sort of a rule ofnthumb that if the fem a,e avatar's boobs are bigger than her head, she's being run by a guy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Skipped a bunch of posts, but I just noticed this book, and needed to say WTF? [link]

Book: The Vampire and the Vegan

Book I: Food
By Merlene Alicia Vassal.

Pearl, a temptress vampire living in Washington, DC, discovers that the blood of her next would-be victim, Salaam, lacks that certain something she craves -- necromantic energy that comes from eating meat. Yet he may offer her something that she needs even more...

Through fast-paced prose peppered with surprises, The Vampire and the Vegan explores the complex relationship between a carnivore and her food.

180 pages.

This book contains adult language and content.

I haven't figured out yet whether this is just a really weird story or if it's the newest idea for books to get teenagers to go vegan.

It has a website! [link] Which seems to support the "book to get teenagers to go vegan" theory.
