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."

PC - where on that website is that information?
I'm trying to get into it - I sent the link to friends who are fans but I'm not finding the announcement at all and I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting on the page and when I do - I don't see the announcement.

Huh, you're right, it's not loading. Probably getting way too many hits. It was a blog post by someone close to him, I think, who'd been posting about him.
Here's a report.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the series done? I tried to read one of them, after having read (but not enjoyed, I just had to) the first five or so. And it was unintelligible and the main people were otherwise occupied.

No, he was trying to finish the final volume, however long it was going to end up being.

Huh.
It's weird--it feels like people are dying left, right, and centre. But really, it's just the passage of time and getting older.
His fans must be in all sorts of tizzies. I don't know a damned thing about his presence, just of his works. But I imagine they might feel like I felt when Octavia Butler died. I just hope they don't have a Fledgling left behind. That stung.

Yeah, one of my friends said that "selfishly" she hopes that his wife finishes the book.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sure someone will finish the book.

Someone remind me that if I've read a book, wasn't that impressed with it, and now cannot remember most of the plot points, I should not be tempted to go read it again AND the two sequels, just because a bunch of people I know thought they were great? I know I was pretty "meh" on Twilight, I even threadsucked this thread and re-read comments), but ... I keep reading enthusiastic burbling about the three books everywhere. I haven't caved yet, but I can feel myself wavering.
