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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I mean, it's not like she's around to Google herself and then put quotes from stories found up on her MySpace or the MySpace-like sites of her friends, as has happened in Bandom recently. She's long dead! She'll never know! She'll never break the fourth wall!

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

Huh.

It's just so weird when the objets-du-fandom act even more stupid-fandom-tricks than the fans.

Twenty-something metrosexual indie boys are apparently occasionally tickled pink to find stories about them licking their close male friends. It means someone is paying attention to the fact that they exist, dontcha know?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And there's probably some gratification in knowing that someone's writing down sexual fantasies about you ....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I cannot imagine that mindset. Not a whit.

It's very strange when you're five feet away from them at a club and thinking, "Oh god, I know people who write porn about you."

Punishingly Intricate

Me either. It would creep me out.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It must be a guy thing, because I don't find this surprising or unusual at all. If I was unfamiliar with the genre (which I imagine is the case with most indie boys, or people in general), I'd find it hi-larious that someone was writing porn about me!

I prefer for people who feature me in written porny scenarios to confine their publishing efforts to an instant message window.
