Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I finished A Tale of Two Cities yesterday and now all I can think about is whether there is any Sydney Carton fanfic. Help.

Try AO3? It's possible someone wrote some for Yuletide. Lemme see... yup, there is some.

Can't speak for the quality, and at least some of it is Carton/Darnay slash.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, yeah. Do you not remember my theory about how Sydney Carton is the Spike of Tale of Two Cities?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I remember it! Sorta. Something about Mme. Defarge and her scissors?

Yes, we decided there would be a small but dedicated segment of Mme. Defarge fans who sneered at the Carton shippers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am reading a biography/non fiction book about Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simone, and I keep wishing there was RPF about them, James Taylor, Warren beatty, Leonard COhen, etc.

The RPF is called "You're So Vain" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Our House" and "My Old Man" and all the other songs they wrote about each other.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

They didn't get into the men's songs much in this book, but if you want to know who EVERY SINGLE Joni Mitchell song was about, this is your source. Also, somehow my mind is blown by James Taylor being a heroin addict-- he just seemed so "adult contemporary" in the 80's.
