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."

not your mom's socks.
I'm just reading the noms now. So many great stories (and scripts) on here. Seannan's amazing, PC.
FWIW, "The Ice Owl," by Caroline Ives Gilman blew me away. Same with "The Man Who Bridged the Mist." I need to read "Countdown" now. Charlie Jane Anders' "Six Months, Three Days," and E. Lily Yu's "The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees," are two of my favorite shorts from this past year, so I'm excited to see them there. "Paper Menagerie" wasn't my favorite Ken Liu story this year, but then again, there were so many to choose from.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved "Six Months, Three Days," too. Glad it was nominated. Great concept well executed.

For you InCryptid fans, Seanan has posted a new short story. It looks like she's doing the story of Jonathan Healy and Frances Brown in shorts; "No Place Like Home" follows "One Hell of a Ride," which follows "The Flower of Arizona," which I haven't read.
I haven't read this one yet either, but it sounds like the mice are in it, at least!

I got a 404 with that link.

The status is NOT quo.
HAIL the day a short story was released about a cool universe!

Taking a break from copyediting to read these now.
It's still work, though. Sigh. My life sucks; I have to read her new stories and re-read her other stuff SO I CAN INTERVIEW HER!
Not that I'm psyched or anything. I am also counting a re-read of "The Hot Zone" as research for the interview.
(I have a shitton of questions, and will have more, but if anyone has a burning question, feel free to email me. I can't guarantee I'll be able to ask it, but I will try!)
