Aims, however, um, avid a fan you may be, lusting after his sweet young body is one thing. Presenting yourself, bleeding, as an appetizer is another.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
This is true.
It's nice to know where my crazy ranks. So often, I haven't the slightest.

Way the fuck over on the really-not-that-crazy end of the spectrum, love. Promise.

There's a line between the talking crazy over the top fan stuff and actually DOING crazy over the top fan stuff. Not a fine line. And you, Empress, haven't crossed it (that I know of).

wrod. This. Or at least that's what I tell myself when I fantasize sending Keith Olbermann Dick Cheney's ear in a jar. Perhaps I've said too much.

But it seems to be much easier to come up with a way to do crazed fan stuff for a vampire character (i.e., scratch your neck so it bleeds, whatev) than for a fictional wizard ("Harry! I have...a...broom at home! JUST LIKE YOU!!!!").
Vampires are too easy to fangirl.
Also, Jilli -- based on your commentary, I read the Twilight Kisses books (there are 5, right?). They're cute, and I like Raven a lot.

We're talking Empress here. "Hey Daniel... I have a place you can store your wand, baby."

I don't know whether to be touched that y'all know me so well to know that I'm at home with violent imagery or insulted that you know I'm just sending woof tickets and would never be able to "Travis Bickel" for Keith. That's just how crazy I am.

Yes, there are 5 out. And aren't they just darling?
I'm enjoying the inappropriate giddy joy of the tweeners. There are so few opportunities to be insanely giddy, and 12-14 is such a perfect age for it, especially if you have a cohort to be insanely giddy with.
I'm all for insane giddiness (hell, I haven't given mine up), but the Twilight fandom feels less and less like insane giddiness, and more like scary cult that is going to kill the object of its affections.
