You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.
Buffy ,'Lessons'
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."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
So I'm reading Black Dossier. So great. I'm surprised they can make a profit selling these for $20. I wonder how much they cost to make? Anyway I'm reading The Crazy Wide Forever and for the first time it occurs to me- The League is fan fiction! Just because Moore is famous and making money off his work doesn't take away the fact that he loves these characters and he wanted to make more stories about them.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes yes yes, TLoEG is totally fanfiction. That's a big part of why I love it. (Like Wicked et al.) And isn't the Black Dossier fabulous? (Although - yeah. With some reservations.) Did you get the edition with the disk included, or have they not released that one yet?
If you're interested, when you've finished, I really enjoyed going through the annotations to see how many gazillion details went whizzing over my head.

whoa, no. If there's a disc I haven't gotten to it yet. And I already thought the book was too much value for the money.
Thanks for the link to the annotations. There's already a couple panels I know are significant but I couldn't figure out what they referenced. I can't wait to see how many I didn't even catch.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Dude! Knut's Superpowers was nominated for a Nebula Award!
Even cooler is the fact that (he explained in LJ) Superpowers wasn't on the "long list" of potential nominees; however, he ended up on the final ballot because of book jury had the option of choosing one book to add to the list.
And they picked Superpowers to add to the ballot! Go Knut!
