Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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."

I, uh, wrote a fanfic about that years ago.

And I read it.

Ask her. I didn't save it. I just read it. A few times.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Um, good question. Let me see if I can rustle it up.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think Theodore Sturgeon - or someone writing when he was - did something along those lines.

And with all the zombie stories around now, how would a zombie apocalypse affect Christian celebrations of the eucharist? transubstantiation and all that ....

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I don't think it was Steph's, but I read a long Buffy/Spike that used that premise some time ago.

One problem with Erin's notion - you'd have to keep them separate from each other. If everybody syncs up it defeats the purpose.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I woke up early this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I started reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and I just finished it.

Fantastic.
