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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No doubt the picture of AA we see filtered through TV is inaccurate, but it's clear enough that you TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and MAKE AMENDS. I don't see how you plan to slip that past anyone that's watched TV in the last 20 years.

The thought I might do it *accidentally* kind of makes me sweat. Kind of like how Keith Olbermann seems to fear some kind of "Real Deal With Bill McNeil" moment where he incites some psycho. wrod. If I think hard, I might even remember what Step it is(nine? Or did Larry David fuck with my head again?)

I think it's one thing to get someone else's words stuck in your head and use them in something thinking they're your own. And (1) it's likely to be a few words, maybe a sentence, and (2) it's done unknowingly. Lifting entire sections or complete books, and knowing what you're doing, is one thing. And this guy isn't even terribly apologetic about it.

I am somewhat in awe of the guy's chutzpah, in that "Dude, you're scum, but wow, those are some big balls" way.

What's the legal issue? I don't know Terri. I'd think about giving money for her health, because I know how shitty a situation creators get into, but I have no idea about an unknown legal issue. And, seriously, Neil Gaiman isn't my ethical minder. I'd need more than his say so.

I don't know - but I figured there might be some people here who would be interested.

I love Terri Windling's work. I've got a bunch of fairy tale and urban fantasy collections that she edited/curated.
Everything I'd want to bid on (a doll from Wendy Froud! Artwork from Charles Vess!) is waaaaay out of my price range.
