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."

I've started a new section over at Gothic Charm School, wherein I talk about what vampire books I personally recommend. I started out with Dracula, of course. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wouldn't call it spoilery - there aren't any plot points revealed that weren't basically things we already knew from Storm of Swords.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's spoilery for the TV show. It was originally linked to in Premium Cable.
