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.

Discussion Threads

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."

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)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Amy, do you Discworld?

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

How literally do they mean "couple"?

What about:

  • Holmes & Watson
  • Peter Wimsey & Harriet Vane
  • Wooster & Jeeves
  • Robin & Marian

Discworld! Of course!

Sam/Sybil

Carrot/Angua

Magrat/Verence

Tiffany/Preston

Because books.

Yeah, I'm not a big sci-fi/fantasy reader, so I have no idea who half those people are.

And the list is for a blog for teen readers. I'd put a same-sex couple on there, but not one that's not canon, like Holmes/Watson. They can figure out slash on their own.

I'm adding Abelard/Heloise, because it's my list and I can, and probably Emma/Knightley, and possibly Katniss/Peeta, even if that's open to discussion.

Since it's a blog for teen readers, I think you should use Tiffany/Preston. They're from Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, which are YA.

But I've never read those! I don't want to add characters I know nothing about.

Whoa! Brief, giddy flail: Jay Asher (author of the fantastic Thirteen Reasons Why, and the new The Future of Us, co-written with Carolyn Mackler), mentioned Cold Kiss on his fall list of books he's excited about.

FLAIL.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Whoo! That's awesome!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Amy, that's great!
