Excellent Game of Thrones poster.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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."

I often wished to include things like "If you plagiarize any of your papers, partial or whole, I will KNOW...and I will CUT you. Caveat. Fear me."
But I didn't. So I think those are made of awesome.

I don't include the "I will CUT you" part, but I do include the rest of it. Because some of them do plagiarize.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
It always amazes me that people (a) don't realize how easy it is to find out if something's plagiarized and/or (b) don't see anything wrong with it.

don't see anything wrong with it.
I wonder if some of that is the "nothing on the Internet is private" thing.

How about the people who lift entire books and pass them off as their own? or remember the Cassie Edwards flap of several years ago? she'd been lifting sections of books, magazines, etc., and just dropping them into her books. When this became public she said something to the effect that she'd always considered that research.
