Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That was very funny. Until about #14, which was not at all okay. And then it was just sad for a while (until about #20)

Hey. New board.

Sox, I got it and loved it, even though I didn't love Monette's other work. Didn't want this to end.
Also, yay Ancillary Justice won the Clarke Award!

I want to talk about all the things!
And YES I am so happy for Ann and Ancillary Justice - Just super ridiculous happy. And her tweet was classic/perfect.
