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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I, too, love Kanye like whoa. This bit about the reading, however, is just plain wrong. Stick to making the music, man!

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

P-C, I read about that yesterday, on a totally different blog. I guess it's hit Internet critical mass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's the second time it's been posted on b.org, I'm pretty sure, so I agree with your assessment.

In the comments are some links to earlier posts by the same person that suggest it may be a hoax, but I'd rather believe it's real.

t ignorant non-romance reader

Sooo, how big a deal is Romantic Times? I have very vague knowledge of them. Apparently they're starting a non-fiction book review thing this summer, and they want to feature the Gothic Charm School book.

Because books.

It reaches a decent amount of readers, Jilli. It wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, Jilli-- they do the most reviews of genre romance and as such, reach a pretty huge audience.

Oooh. It turns out that one of their editors is a big fan of my site and loved the video I posted today. Yay!

Which editor, Jilli? I've met several of them and they're really nice.
