at least some of it is Carton/Darnay slash.
Well, yeah. Do you not remember my theory about how Sydney Carton is the Spike of Tale of Two Cities?
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I remember it! Sorta. Something about Mme. Defarge and her scissors?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.
Who is "Famous Blue Raincoat" about?

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah...he made it through. Actually, he writes about it quite a lot, but it's more coded than Anthony Kiedis or Nine Inch Nails...if you don't know, it's not going to grab you but when I saw him in concert, he called one of the new ones "an obligatory recovery song,"
