I did a paper in high school on how Carroll, who was a math professor, twisted all the laws of math and logic around in Alice. Fun paper to write. (Also, P-C, you might enjoy the logic book he wrote. It's published as a cheap paperback now. It was meant as a sort of introductory logic textbook, sort of "Everyman's Logic." The sorts of things he uses for the examples are great. I think there were a few directly from a few sceness in Alice.)
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I wrote a 60 page paper in a college seminar on the dismal representations of women in the Alice books. Really, really bleak. He seemed pretty intent on convincing little Alice that no good can come of growing up and becoming a woman....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That sounds amusing. I did a report on him in seventh grade. He was an author, a photographer, and a mathematician!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Here's a link to my Buffyverse/Anita Blake crossover.
Should I have guessed this would be Spike/Xander? I feel... soiled. The writing is excellent and I enjoyed reading it... but I couldn't finish.

Thrive to spite them
Connie I remember that. I think that I've only read two Anita/ Buffy crossovers but yours was fun and the other one didn't work at all. It had Buffy and Anita in the same universe and it just couldn't work.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Here's a link to my Buffyverse/Anita Blake crossover.
I'm suddenly wanting this same crossover, but featuring taciturn Oz and emo Richard.
The writing is excellent and I enjoyed reading it... but I couldn't finish.
Bummer. Your loss.

I saved the link. There's something about Spike/Xander that gives me the ookies but the dialogue is so authentic I might wade back in. Possibly after a night of drinking.

And don't get me wrong. I loves me some guy/guy fun. It's just that particular couple making my brain itch. Though it would serve to explain their antagonistic relationship over the years... oh god! It's starting already!
