I think MLA style underlines book titles.
Whoohoo!
Uh, perhaps a little needy right now.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, like that hasn't been a lifelong pursuit of yours, Hec. But I don't remember the last time I underlined anything, even if I'm not cool.

I am wrestling (like, molasses-wrestling, not fun at all) with style guides today, and y'all are making me weep.
Going home now. APA and MLA can BITE ME.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
APA and MLA can BITE ME
Amen to that shite. APA is the format I have to use on EVERYTHING for the next three years.

Is there any style guide that uses both italics and underlining, for two different things? I can't recall ever learning any.

If you can't do italics - you underline. That's what I learned from back in the day of typewriters.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. MLA is just wicked old-fashioned. (Although possibly not any more, as they are revising for a 2008 publication date.)

Re. Harry Potter, I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more: finding out how it ends or watching fandom reactions to how things end.
