I'm just asking about his use of "affect".
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It seems like there should be a different word for consensual performance-art trolling.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My father's reaction to Hunger Games (he's not finished yet -- he just got past the banquet): "These are really hard books to read. It just grabs your emotions and doesn't let go. I mean, in the Harry Potter books, characters died, but this is just kids killing kids, relentlessly." I don't think I've ever seen him react to a book like that before. I told him that the other two are even more so, and he said that he's not sure if he's going to read those, in that case.
