Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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."

Here's a thought...write something ELSE. Or think of humanity, madam, and you know, *don't* (/fake Special Comment. Because I am outraged and my cat is innocent.)

How, exactly, do they sparkle?

I really have had ideas happen that way. But I still have had to work like hell on them. That is why she insults writers so. Writing like a fanfiction.net escapee is just the cherry on the sundae.

It's a facet (forgive the pun) of the transformation-- their skin has a diamond-like quality and that's one of the primary reasons they can't go out in full sunlight because they're like the human equivalent of bedazzlers.

Or something to that effect.

I mean, seriously. I've nothing against re-interpretations of tropes, but to say you don't like the very thing you're writing about?

Because books.

That's the part I don't get. If you don't like vampires, why make Edward the Mary Sue of all vampire heroes ever? Why not make them (all of them) the villains? Odd.

And it's one of those things where you discover that sometimes story means more than writing skill. Apparently the girls gobbling up these books don't give a shit that she doesn't, actually, write very well. They want their Edward. And Bella. And whoever the fuck else she came up with in the last couple books.
