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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A project to read all of the 33 1/3 books:

He'll get to me eventually!

Sorry to be buzzkill with my bitter sounding sense of writerly entitlement. It's not that. It's just working on something for two years you want a response; you want to know it finds an audience and people get it.

I have gotten reviewed at Popmatters and Under the Radar and several blogs, and the curious thing is that all of the reviews have been remarkably alike. Everybody gets it -- gets my structural choices and tone. Every single review has noted: well-researched, well written, funny and a good read.

Which is what I set out to create so that's good. It's not like I was planning a down payment on a Ferrari with this book. I just want readers.

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

It's also an awesome book! On the inside, I mean.

That's definitely true. I should go get some publicity tips from Kim; she's a genius at that stuff.

Yeah, it's pretty overwhelming how many books there are in the series.

Hec, have you contacted the folks at Sepiachord? [link] I know I mentioned the book to my friend who runs the site, but it was during a big event, so he might have forgotten.
