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."

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

P-C, it's a specific body count.
That's how the headline reads, but if you read the actual quote, it comes across as more like a minimum. She said, "One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die... A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."

Hey. New board.
I gotta say, if Harry doesn't die I may have to FIE UPON THEE to that series forever.
That said, I'm pretty sure he won't.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And I stand corrected by Jon.
Really, David? I'd much rather have the Buffy-end-of-series moment. Let The Boy Who Lived actually have, you know, a life. I rather hope that Ginny also survives, because I'm a sap that way.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
The spoilers are getting more specific as to who is likely to die. I wonder if Rowling is doing foilers.

Because books.

I feel the same way.
And I was just saying the other day to Ben, who's nine, it's kind of a disappointing summer after last year -- no new book! No Harry Potter midnght event at the local bookstore! Feh.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
But I'll be able to tone my upper body with this next one. I've used Infinite Jest before.

The last couple would be handy for knocking someone out with, too. You know, in a pinch.

no doubt. If she wasn't surrounded by Yes- people, somebody would say books are not like coffee, not sold by weight. If she hadn't hyped the seven volumes she could break it up...not that I'm saying there's nothing to be an "out-take" though

Hey. New board.
I have reasons. I'm not sure what they are, but I have them. Boy should die. It should be very sad and heroic and poignant and whatnot.
Bu then, I liked The Gift MUCH more than Chosen. If it weren't for the fact that I actually like a good bit of season 6 so very much (OMWF! Tabula Rasa! Giles!Return OMG! Even the yellow crayon!) I'd wish that had been the end of the series.
Angel's ending, on the other hand, I found to be perfect. I'm a big fan of heroic last stands.
Back to HP, though. In agreement, if Ginny dies, I will cry until I cannot cry anymore. She's my favorite, for reasons I don't really understand. Probably because of fanon more than canon, though I quite like her in canon.
