Now received PDF. Am about to print it. Maybe you should post in on a web site somewhere in case others want to download and print it. (others who have not posted to you - I mean. Post it and then put it up in press.)
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

That is an excellent idea, and I would do that except I don't really have a place to put it since Flickr and Photobucket won't take pdfs.
Do you have any place you could post it? (if that wouldn't be an inconvenience)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
David, if you want to send me a handful, I can put them in York and Manchester (maybe Leeds) with immediacy, and probably London and Dublin in the next few weeks.
ETA: But email me about it, because I am checking things on the intarwebs infrequently.

OK - the address for the PDF is
You might want to post in press - since I suspect more people will pay attention to a posting from you than me.
Just my personal web site that came free with my internet connection - but since this is not going out to millions, I suspect it won't be overwhelmed.

Do you need my address, Hec? Can't remember if I gave it to any of y'all while I was there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
re: Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing, I really *ought* to re-read the first two books, but I'm too impatient to do so. I want to know what happens. And, at the same time, I don't want it to end. I'm about 100 pages into the 800+ pages, and Bray has done a really good job of bringing in things from the previous books so that I remember them without being bludgeoned by heavy-handed exposition.
Like Fee's rotten father. Feh on him. I totally forgot what a vile shit he is. I hope Bad Things happen to him.
....and that's all I've got, so far, other than wondering where the hell Kartik is.
