That is so awesome.
Allyson, I for one would like to thank you for your wonderful body of work. I have to say, that's now that there's a book about our on-line family, my family and RL friends finally realize that I'm not making up 100+ friends.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I wonder how Tim feels about being called a "little guy."

Punishingly Intricate
BUT THE LITTLE GUYS YOU PISS OFF WILL.
It's not clear to me if the writer is talking about Tim or paperdol here.

It's Tim, lisah. She's referring to the fact that Tim didn't talk to Allyson until she pissed him off.
It's a weird moniker to give him, considering she says in that essay that writers are the rock stars of fandom. Not the little guys.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thank you, Toddson!! I've been waiting for someone to post that!
Yay, paperdol!!!! Good write-up

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Glad to; after all, I had a copy in my hot little hands, so why not share?

Don't forget the photo of Buffy, which I would think would really help draw people to read the text.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I hope this means I'll sell a few more books.
It's starting to hit me that maybe it'll at least be moderately successful instead of a complete dud.

Yes, I think it does mean that.
I've been trying to write the GCS review of your book for a few days now; I have lots of nice things to say, I just need to put them in a form other than This book is made of awesome, and if you're on the Web at ALL, you need to read it!
