Yeah, I really like the expression in dcp's link.
My major takeaway from all of this? OMG I LOVE EOWYN!!@!
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Eowyn was seriously one of my first role models, the first time I remember thinking "holy shit, girls can be awesome!" We had a record of RotK from the animated movie, and so I remember that phrase from a decade before reading the books.
Gah, I really hope they make a book of all those pictures. BUT NOT THE STUPID ONES. If I ever have a daughter (or, heck, a son) I'll frame some for her walls.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
I read a lot of both Loises, but the one I remember most is Killing Mr. Griffin.

Because books.
Anyone want to help with a guest blog post I have to do? They want to know my ten favorite literary couples, and I'm coming up short. I have seven so far:
1) Jane/Rochester
2) Kit/Nat (Witch of Blackbird Pond)
3) Jo/Professor Bhaer
4) Clare/Henry (The Time Traveler's Wife)
5) Hermione/Ron
6) Aislinn/Seth (YA, Wicked Lovely)
7) Claire/Jamie (Outlander)
Who am I missing? Or who are some of yours?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Raven/Alexander (YA, Vampire Kisses)
... I suppose Morticia/Gomez doesn't count, since there aren't really any Addams Family books. ('tho good G-D, I would kill to work on books for that.)

Oh, man, that would be fun, Jilli. It could be a YA! Their early days!

I keep meaning to talk to my agent about it to see what she thinks, but then I keep telling myself, no, finish the fiction project first.
Other couples:
Snape/Lily (I can't help it. Sev, you poor bastard.)
Richard/Alec (Swordspoint)
