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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Still unhappy about that whole thing, aren't I?

I high-five you, my sister!

I can't go a day without seeing a ref to the site. Bad for my blood pressure.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I can't go a day without seeing a ref to the site. Bad for my blood pressure.

I snarl every damn time I see a reference to that site. Trufax. I don't let go of grudges easily, especially scam-artist/pseudicide grudges.

t edit I don't mean "scam-artist" like he was grifting us; I mean it in the sense that he was a big fat lying liar who lies.

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

I keep hoping I'll get over the urge to shout at people when they link to the site, but I talk myself down every time. It's disproportionately stressful, though.

The site is not evil. I must focus on that. Well, it is a sort of evil, but that's an entirely different thing.

Punishingly Intricate

There is a letter in the Vine (Tomato Nation advice column) today about a potential pathological liar. Super fascinating to me.

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

For reals.

Yeah, this.

The closest I ever came to outing my Buffistadom at work was when someone mentioned TV Tropes and I couldn't keep from snarling. I can't remember specifically how I wiggled out of it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've just accepted that it'll never happen. Best I can do it bite my tongue and seethe on the inside.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Me too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's a shame, really, because of course it comes up all the time for us, and of course it's useful and a neat thing because it was our idea. And our work. (Okay, not mine personally, but us ours.) And its very continued existence relies on the continued work by someone who claimed not to have a continued existence. So it stays infuriating.
