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.

'Underneath'


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."

Well Jem really believes him, but then Jem wants to. I'm not as nice as Jem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I really really want Jem to be happy, is what it is.

Yep. I really like the way Charles makes us want Jem to have a happy ending.

I started the "Creative Types" romance series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm. The first book is about a TV writer and his PA who is a secretly a big name fanfic author - it's not quite the gonzo celebration of fandom that Spoiler Alert is, but it's pretty fun. And I didn't realize until maybe halfway through that the TV show in question is centered on a vampire, so I thought I might mention that here in case it was of interest to anyone else

I kind of want to see the show (called Leeches, which is very cute, right?) - not as much as I'd like to watch Sanctuary Moon, but it does sound like the kind of thing I would at least check out

Because books.

I accidentally bought the first five books in the Temeraire series (I meant to buy only the first one for $1.99 -- the dangers of Distracted Shopping and Amazon's bevy of buttons to click) so ... I hope I like them? I loved the author's Sam and Dean fanfic so much...but I haven't had as much luck with some of her original fiction.

Our wings are not tired.

I really enjoyed the Temeraire series! I listened to the audio and could listen again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think you could probably return them if you don't like them.

I love the whole Temeraire series and probably need to reread soon.

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

"Creative Types" romance series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm

I liked this series - fun but not the most memorable? Joanna Chambers is one of those authors I always *almost* love.

Yeah, that sounds right. I was trying to recall what I liked about the first thing of hers I read and I couldn’t remember anything except that I did like it.
