Thank you, Toddson!! I've been waiting for someone to post that!
Yay, paperdol!!!! Good write-up
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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."

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?

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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh! I forgot to mention the other day's successful pimp -- pushed it on friend K., who (a) works for a library reviews/readers' advisory service and (b) never EVER EVER shuts up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Toddson!
That's a sweet writeup, paperdol. Good job.

In addition to the picture of Buffy, there was a little image of the cover of the book.
It would also be good for people whose friends and relatives think they're crazy for socializing on the web - it pretty much covers the good, the bad, and the craxy - but lets people know that a lot of what you get from the internets corresponds to what you put in. It won't make you any crazier than you were to start.

This needs to be the tagline for the whole internet.
