I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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."

"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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Did you get the edition with the disk included, or have they not released that one yet?

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations, Knut! I still need to read that book.
