Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

As often happens, JZ is me.

ETA except WRT f/f, because there are relatively few women who skew my Kinsey. Unless someone has written Doctor Who/Buffyverse crossover with Rose and Faith. That could be hot.

JZ, I've never felt closer to you than right now. (Except if it bothers you that that sounds like saying "How *you* doin'?' to both you and a certain music critic we both know.)And I used to think slashers were kind of insane anyway until I saw two things: a.House and Wilson running off to take a ride in a convertible with a stick shift. b. Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann picking lint from each other's jackets before going on "Letterman" (They did. Really. I'm not a slasher, but I'm not blind, either.) Then it was like "Oh, so that's slash!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Rose and Faith.

Oh but Faith/Martha would be so much more mrowr-tastic.

Faith goes with everyone...I ought to get back to getting her with Claire from 6FU, in fact.

See, I'm all about the first season of new DW. The transition from Ninth to Tenth Doctor removed what hooked me in the first place, and the loss of Rose took it from Appointment Television to something I'll watch if I happen to be in the room when DH cues it up on the Tivo.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann picking lint from each other's jackets before going on "Letterman"

Did they really? Oh, my dear. Stuff like that makes me wibble at the adorableness, but I don't know if that counts as responding-to-slash so much as being dorkily eager to go "Awwwww!" at any sweetly affectionate PDA or sign of crushiness. I mean, Lord knows I go all gooey inside just seeing teenage queer couples walking down Haight Street hand-in-hand the way they couldn't have twenty years earlier and still can't almost anywhere else. But I'm fairly sure "misty-eyed with quasi-maternal love" is not the reaction most slashers are really looking for.

I love Rose fiercely. Which is why I wouldn't want to put her alone in a room with Faith. Now 10th Doctor/Rose/Faith. That would be fun.

I got hooked by the 10th Doctor when I managed to catch The Girl in the Fireplace episode on TV and I happened to click over at just the right moment. This feels like an episode of Doctor Who I thought. When Rose called him Doctor I may have swooned. So when I went back and rented Series 1 I was a bit confused by Christopher Eccleston but I did fall for him right before he "died". I can definitely see not liking this David Tennant chap if I hadn't already seen that one episode.

Tennant kinda grew on me with time, but Eccleston pings my personal hot meter a lot harder. I love his accent, and while he's not conventionally handsome in the least he's just so interesting to look at.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I love Tennant. He's all ardent and smart and big eyes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Eccleston pretty much is my personal hot meter, but Tennant feels more Doctor-y to me. And Rose never did much for me at all as a character. So I was in it for the Eccleston, and then for Ten, and then finally for Ten and Martha.
