From Entertainment Weekly: Ultimate Fandom Slices of "Slayer" Cake
Don't forget the photo of Buffy, which I would think would really help draw people to read the text.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.

Toddson, may I borrow that line for my review of the book? I'll give you whatever credit you would like.

I'm pleased to note that at least three people said they'd bought or would buy the book on my recommendation. YAY fandom!
