I just came to ask if anyone had read Slayer ( I started it last night )

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."

Oh, man. I'm reading this near future mystery that's set in 2019 but was published in 2013 and they are three years into the first term of a Democratic woman president, there's a third party populist candidate whose rhetoric is hate speech adjacent and he is denounced by the Republican candidate.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Right? It's kinda making me sad, though.

Seriously. The "If only..." in that description kinda stings a little.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I recently read a little book called "Camp Austen" - a young-ish man goes to what's billed as a Jane Austen Summer Camp. It's amusing BUT one thing I noticed - he begins with discussing how, when he was a child, his family moved to England and he was reading her Juvenilia ... which, from his description, sounds like Jane Austen was writing basically fanfic. A lot of it was either based on or parodying 18th century gothics and sensational novels. I do love this idea.
Also, I'm currently reading Joanne M. Harris's Testament of Loki ... only about halfway through, but it's interesting (what happens after Asgard falls).

The Bronte sisters also had a Gothic world they played in before going "mainstream".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And it was basically Lord Nelson fanfic.
Also, Caterina Valente wrote a book about it: [link]
