Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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."
Has anyone else tried the Shadow Unit series? I stumbled across it - the first one was free for Kindle, so I gave it a try. Could barely put it down. It's ... well, there's an obvious similarity to Criminal Minds for some of the characters, but after that it takes off on its own. It's done as kind of episodes with various authors. Seemed like something some of the Buffistas would like.

Will Shetterley has a history of harassing people online, so I'm afraid the mention of his name makes me run the other way.
(Edit: Jeeesus Christ, WS is still mentioning certain people by name on his blog.)
oh, dear ... I hadn't known that ... this is pretty much my only online community, Luddite that I am.
Yeah, it's one of those unfortunate consequences of the internet. Though, in case it wasn't obvious, I'm not trying to say you shouldn't be reading it and enjoying it -- there are a lot of talented people there who aren't him.
Dang, I just skimmed his blog, and he's really a pretentious racist shitlord, isn't he?
So much so that I had to stop and reassure myself that posts here aren't indexed, because he trolls mentions of himself and shows up to defend himself.
(Funny story: he once accused me of being homophobic.)
Oh, I have to amend my assessment, then: an EGOTISTICAL pretentious racist shitlord. Awesome.
Yeah, after a while I had to stop reading Shadow Unit, although I did enjoy the premise. But WS (the FFA folks call him Wool Sweaterly) is so toxic, and so nasty to a number of friends of mine, and is pals with VoxDay (!) and the Gamergators, so I had to stop reading anything that benefited him.
Which, you know, doesn't mean anyone else has to.
ION, did everyone know there's a new Vorkosigan book?? I didn't until a friend told me, and my copy has just come in at the library! It is going to be a good weekend.
Yeah, That Guy went to the same elite private New England prep school as I did, and was part of a kerfuffle about privilege in which he claimed he was not privileged despite this, and, having knowledge of exactly how privilege works at said prep school, posted about it, and That Guy found my livejournal post and commented about it. Even though, when I typed his name, I replaced certain vowels with *. Since I don't know him from Adam, this suggested to me that he ... routinely googles various versions of his name with asterisks in the place of the vowels? I was fairly nonplussed.
(Ha, I found the post. [link] )
