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 not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And it's about us! I mean, a little. We're in the corpus.

I think we may be partially responsible for the violent sporking.

Is the Corpus the result of that project a while back when they were gathering various posts of ours?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, the Corpus was already in progress, but yeah, our words are a part of it. It is 31,999 sources and us.
Well, you. 'Cause I'm a freaking privacy freak and didn't give my consent. So the sporking is not my fault.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh yeah, and also...
I know the author changed her nick for anonymity purposes.
Yup. Forgot about that. Okies! It was just a thought. I'm so proud of her!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Jilli, any words of mine you want are yours. Giving me credit ... would thrill me down to my toes.

Fun topic on the A Song of Ice and Fire forum about references that GRRM makes - some literary, some not.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh ... I got a notice from Amazon that my pre-ordered copy of The Book is on its way. I'm going to give it to a friend who doesn't quite understand the appeal of the Buffistas. AND Jilli quoted me in her GCS review - yay!
