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."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I'll be mentioning that story in the next issue of Membra Disjecta, if I ever get it up. I have, I think, bronchitis--something's making it hard to breathe or stay awake longer than an hour at a time anyway. Hopefully it will be up this weekend.

Barb, your friend's story was lovely, although I think I've been reading too much SPN fic, because I couldn't help but picture Thann as played by Jared Padalecki. Not that this is a bad thing, but between the hazel eyes and the shoulders and the shaggy hair, it seemed a perfect fit.

Heh, Suela, you wouldn't be... wrong.

She's a HUGE SPN fan and often uses the boys as avatars.

ETA: Oops, hit post too quickly-- thanks Deena, I know she'll appreciate it and listen honey, feel better first, k?

Thanks guys. I'm frustrated. Doctor again on Monday because this has been going on for about 3 weeks and it's not getting better.

3 weeks! That's no good. I hope that the doctor figures it out this time.

Deena, insent. Poor you, 3 weeks is way too long to feel crappy.

Hah! I am amused. I've spotted these avatars a couple of times, and it's always entertaining. I think the most obvious ones are David and Jonathon in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series, who are quite clearly Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill...

Hee. Suela - I thought the same thing about Thann.

Okay, Thann is Sam and Nate is Jared (because of the dogs.)

That's what I thought.
