I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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."

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Because books.

I saw it linked by a librarian who runs a great blog (booksheleves of doom), and I cringed.

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

I'm pretty sure I first came here after that other site had already been created but it still gives me the motts when I see it mentioned.

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

Dude, I sometimes wanna scream it to the fandom wank winds.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am SO relieved it's not just me.
