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."

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.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there any style guide that uses both italics and underlining, for two different things? I can't recall ever learning any.

"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.

That's right! It'll be interesting to see some fans' heads explode. Like the Harry-Hermione 'shippers who retreated to their own personal bubble after HBP and refused to acknowledge what JKR wrote.

I know! Because no matter what happens in the final book, there will be some portion of fandom that flips right out.
