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."

Thrive to spite them
This morning I heard a radio ad for James Patterson's latest wingfic book, Maximum Ride. I still can't believe he wrote one wingfic book much less three.

Art Crawl!!!
I don't know if there are any Robert Jordan fans here but I heard today that he has some horrifying and mostly uncurable blood disease.
I should probably google you guys a real source. . . but I was told one of the treatments involved getting rid of your marrow (well, holding it outside of the body) - killing the thing that causes the problem and then putting the marrow back.
And it doesn't necessarily work.
And here is a source.
Did we talk about this here?
I can't remember.

And here I thought wingfic was an urban myth.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
She's not the only one who wants to know. Come on, guys, don't make us Google our way blindly into some chamber of horrors!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
wingfic = uh, basically stories in which people grow wings, right? That's how I've seen it used. I was going to say that it often involves the person being or becoming an angel of some sort, but I can think of several stories in which there isn't really any angelic subtext.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. So many, many ways for a bad writer to take that and go places no one deserves.
