Buffistas

Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I mean, I read about the baby earlier, and I guess I didn't find that too crazy, but I didn't know it was a demon baby that was going to eat its way out of Bella's belly or something. And then Bella becomes a vampire?? That's how you resolve your epic human/vampire romance? I mean, it's one thing to let Angel become human, but...ARE VAMPIRES NOT BAD AT ALL IN THIS UNIVERSE OR SOMETHING?

I sort of feel sorry for the people who read the whole series now. At least the ones who read it seriously and expected a good resolution and whatnot.

Punishingly Intricate

It has the worst final line of a book, EVAR.

What is it??? I'm dying to know now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wow. Granted that I haven't read the Twilight books, only the recaps/synopses/spoilers, but still -- that shit sounds even WORSE than the Anita Blake books, which I didn't actually think was possible.

WRT the actual birth of the baby it totally makes me wonder how awful SM's experience with childbirth must have been.

Worse than HP7's "All was well" ?

lisah: And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.

Smug much?

Oh my GOD. Wow.

I mean, okay. I have never written a book, let alone a series. And I suppose I could conceive of doing what she did. But I have to believe I could come up with something better. Surely.

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

Oh deer loward. She couldn't make the tiny extra bit of effort it would take to spell it "4eva"?

I'm honestly so much more amused by snarking on this thing than I ever could've been by reading it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yeah, I read the cleolinda summary, and, you know, the pregnancy stuff was just SO over the top that it didn't even squick me. And I had a bad late pregnancy & L&D experience.
