George RR Martin interview. ita says it is spoilery. I have not read the link.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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 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.

Ah, gotcha. I unsubbed from Premium a while ago since I don't have any premium channels.

Is Jilli around? Any comments/favorites of Steven Brusts' work? Those who aren't Jili please weigh in too - I'm in the dark.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'd read some of his books a good while ago - I don't have any clear memories of them. I know I liked them well enough to read more than one, but I stopped reading at some point. (Helpful, aren't I?)

I adore Brust. His work breaks down into Jhereg and non-Jhereg, mainly. I like 'em both. Of the non-Jhereg I'd recommend To Reign In Hell. I've read almost everything he's written, so if you want more details, just ask.

Why am I remembering Butcher was being a douche recently, but not the details?
