Buffistas

Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The book festival has Kevin J. Anderson in a relatively small venue. Does that strike y'all as problem? He's not the world's most exciting writer, but he has been involved with a lot of high profile books.

Another question: A fairly new venture called Story Portals [link] has various writers writing about the same universe. One prominent character, a hedge witch, is named Bel Thorne. As a Bujold fan, I find this quite odd.

Yeah, that's... oddly specific.

And... oh, dear. Someone hasn't been watching the Women Fighters in Sensible Armor tumblr: [link]

And, oh, dear, I've also found a character named Alessan, which is a bit of a problem for anyone who's read Tigana. The writing on the one story I've opened is a bit... eh.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

From Consuela's tumblr link, I got to this awesome collection of Eowyn images: [link]

Which is full of awesome, except for this (NSFW): [link] WTFF? At what point in the epic battle did did Eowyn not just lose her armor, but her CLOTHES?!?! Lady Godiva she ain't.

Wow, those are cool, smonster. I really like these: [link] [link] [link]

OMG yes, that's ridiculous. WTF.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, I love this one, and this portrait, and this Nouveau imagining, and this painting, so blocky and chunky but very alive and this faux Beardsley. And, holy shit, this.

I would so buy a calendar of Eowyn pictures. Gah. Right now I'm trying to pick one to use as a desktop.

Because books.

I love the Nouveau one.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I like this one, for the expression. I like that all we see of the Nazgul is the shadow, but the rest of the shadows in the picture are off.

I love how faithful this one is to the little details, so much packed in: [link] Theoden, the broken shield, the tears in her tunic and scratches on her face, Minas Tirith and the battle raging in the background.

I love the arc of the Nazgul's steed's wing in this one: [link]

Like the style, but hate her pose - "Talk to the hand, foul Dwimmerlaik." ::scuffs foot on bloody field:: [link]

Right now, this is winning for my desktop: [link]
