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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've somehow missed whether there's a name for a male Mary Sue. I'm thinking of the sort of character who's a doctor who lands a commercial airplane in an emergency; finds food and water in the wilderness; makes an electric generator with spare parts; is true to his one true love while being hit on by everyone woman he meets; and has steely gray eyes and a determined chin.

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

Jack?

Snerk.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm surprised nobody named Buckaroo Banzai.

Well, there was no mention of surgery or playing an instrument.

Gary Stu is the other one I've heard.
