I'm still baffled that people who deal in words seem to have transmitted important information by way of the telephone game.

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."

Supposedly they don't write anything down in order to keep the info from leaking, but really -- nobody mentioned the authors' names? Nobody doublechecked to make sure they had the right titles?

I trust they now understand that accidentally leaking the correct authors would be far preferable to officially announcing the wrong ones.
Also, they trust people they tell over the phone not to tell anyone, but they think those same people will forward an e-mail to the known world? Their brains appear to be missing.

Because books.
In better news, Myracle's book has a sales rank of #378 right now. And I just bought one, too.

They do know this is not, like, a presidential election, right? I mean, come on.

Myracle talks to Vanity Fair. She's wonderful.

Ha!
What are you working on next? Maybe something uncontroversial?
I’m working on the story of a satanic cannibal cult set amongst the Republican presidential candidates. Just kidding!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I read that earlier today, and I was pretty impressed. The whole incident is highly unfortunate and badly played.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I sold a story to Daily Science Fiction!
