There are a lot of great books mentioned in today's SFSignal Mind Meld by authors including Laura Anne Gilman, Bradley Beaulieu, Sherwood Smith, Aliette de Bodard, Kat Howard (sorry I'm kind of melting down because I'm smished in there among all these fabulous people). Worth a read.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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."

Sox, that's a great entry (I admit that sometimes I find the Mind Meld pieces pretty dull). Which reminds me of that marvelous Yuletide story in which Anthony Bourdain goes to Narnia--if you haven't read it, I can supply a link. It's quite wonderful (and written by a friend of mine).

... and now I'm rereading it, because it's really that marvelous. I'd forgotten much of it.

Ok, I think someone here rec'd Best OfAll Possible Worlds? I downloaded e sample, and all I can think is "is this Trek fic post Vulcan-destruction, with the serial numbers filed of?" That's not necessarily a BAD thing, but I'm curious.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
'Suela, you've mentioned that story before, but this was the first time I actually followed the link to read it, and oh, wow, it's so good! I don't even like Anthony Bourdain much, but that story is just delightful.

Oh, huh, how did I not know that, Suela? I follow her on DW. Cool, ok.

I thought her pseudonym sounded familiar, and then from the notes at the end and some of the comments I figured out it must be her. I do love her writing. And I hadn't heard that she sold her YA series -- that's excellent news!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I'm not sure I heard that either, but good for her!
