And it will probably make some people pause and go "I wonder what Story X would be like if we swapped genders there . . . huh. That's kind of cool." Making people think about story structure is a good thing.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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."

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm actually surprised she went with that since she's so "with talent on loan from God," about her work overall. Maybe her agent was, like, "Look, Steph, it's this or we need a new idea." and her dreams aren't worth transcribing lately.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, so I finished my reread of all the Tiffany Achings in preparation for the last new Pratchett. And it is very clear to me that I have been taking an absurdly long time (for me) to do so, because I don't want there to be a last new Pratchett. Am I ready for it now? Should I just embark on a lifetimes denial that the book exists?

I know I'm not ready. I think some day I might be? But not yet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I read it, being of the school of "rip that bandage off", cried at a few points, and then embarked on a re-read of all the witches' books, starting with Equal Rites. I do want to get a nice boxed set of the Aching series for Peanut.

I started. I was definitely not ready. But I don't think I can quit now.

Oh I would like to do that.

I just came to the realization the Granny Weatherwax would not approve of this plan.
I'm still not ready, but maybe sooner than I thought.
