What does a gibbous moon smell like?
Gibbons.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So, in thinking about genre, have any of you read Chabon's Maps and Legends? Thoughts?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
PC, that is awesome. In a pole-axing way. So long as it isn't the match that sets the fanfic house on fire, I'm good. (And, frankly, since the HP novels are all out now, and HP fanfic didn't make anything go boom in a big way, I'm much less nervous about this than I once was.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
And on top of the weird metaphor fest, "Spikenard"? The protagonist's name is "Spikenard"? Really?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
And is it pronounced "Spike-nard"? "Spick-en-ard"? "Spiken-ard"?
Spickeloost, anyone?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't think anyone here is feeling much in the way of "oost".

I like the idea that the other characters might be called Angelnard, and Drusillanard, and Buffynard. It could be a whole new cunning form of C&D-proof fanfic. Really, really, REALLY bad C&D-proof fanfic.
