here's a teaser selfie of my Night Circus costume.
You look stunning, Smonster.
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.
'Why We Fight'
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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She was smart and funny and articulate - pretty awesome.
That's Seanan! I'm always impressed by how articulate she is in her public appearances. Some of it is having answered the same questions a million times ("Why did you use a pseudonym?" oh my God a three-second Google will tell you the answer) but some of it is magic. I still remember her glorious takedown of an Old White Guy who didn't think it was necessary to make an effort to include female authors in anthologies, just go by the quality of the work.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Haha, she got million-and-one on the pseud question! Although I did find the answer interesting (and had never thought to Google), so you know, there's that...

That does sound like something that would be brilliant to see.
Sad I can't see smonster from work computer (FB blocked). Marked for later...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shouldn't "My date from hell" precede "My ex from hell" ?
Well, when you've read the books, you'll know why, right?

I wish there had been a video. It would be all over Upworthy. "Watch This Woman Explain Something about Women in Science Fiction I've Been Trying to Say for 37 Years."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks, Hec.
I will have to google the pseud question, as I have wondered.

I need to check and see if there's a Seattle stop on her book tour.

smonsters, here's the answer. She likens it to when Disney created Touchstone to make content for grown-ups. As she says, "It's to avoid 'Disney presents...Reservoir Dogs.'"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
smonster: WOWWEEEEE. *love* it.
Sparky (and Tep), for that matter:
are you referring to the stylistic differences being the shift in first-person perspective ? Still only halfway through but I just wanted to be sure what you are referring to.

Woe! I have other plans already. Well drat.
