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's OK, I thought it was jet airplane fanfic a la TOP GUN. I guess that could be Tail Fic too.
That was my thought -- something vaguely military, with planes.
For what it's worth, Patterson's books don't *seem* to be slashy, though, although I certainly can't vouch for the subtext.
I guess that could be Tail Fic too.
I thought that was a furry thing.

It all depends on how you interpret the line "You can ride my tail anytime."
Sorry I posted but forgot an explanation of wingfic.
These books have no slashy subtext, the characters with wings are genetically engineered kids grown in a secret, secluded lab (some place secluded enough where they could learn to fly) for some purpose I've forgotten. One kid escapes, crashes, and is found by a veteranarian who helps the kid free the other winged kids. And they go live somewhere, keeping their wings a secret.
There's a sequel, The Lake House, which I've never read. The first time I saw the trailer for the movie Lake House I kept trying to figure out how the winged kids fit into the love story.
It's been awhile since I read the first one, but I finished it just out of morbid fascination, it was one of those WTF books.
Hey, does anyone own the book Goddess by Mistake by PC Cast? I wanted to read it, but half.com has it listed at $84! Unless it comes with a Orgasmatron, no fucking way!
It's being reissued in Sept., but I have the whole summer free.
Email addy good, and I'll happily read it in a couple of hours, and pay for shipping and return it good as new, promise!
You can get a beat copy through alibris for $25: [link]
Holy shit! That's so nuts. I mean, I'm sure it's a load of fun, but it's a 2001 romance, not a frickin' Gutenburg.
If no one has a loaner, I will definitely wait for the reissue.
(Thanks for looking, tho, Jon!)
Erin, I can check it out of the library, send it to you, and then return it when you send it back, if you like?
Oh, honey, that seems like a lot of trouble to go to just to satisfy my lust for books.
I'll wait, or bug my sister into doing...something about it (she works at Borders and Has Connections.)
But I love you for offering!
Erin, can you see if your library can get it through InterLibrary Loan?
