Man, people are just cRaXY.
I wish the excerpt of her response was just an out-of-context bit that exaggerates her craxy, but in fact she's craxy to the bone.

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."

"Dear Kimber An,
Thank you for taking the time to read my column and respond. Thank you also for perfectly illustrating my point. My editor already asked if I was using a sock puppet, that's how incredibly apt you were as a point-proving loopy loo. Ta, ever so.

Author as gumball machine. We see it in the fanfic community too (though I know it's a thousand times more irritating when it's your livelihood).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I finally got around to reading The Graveyard Book. Thumbs up!!

Indeed. Although I think that because I don't write much porn, I don't seem to get as much of that as some other writers do.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Ah, half-remembered books. For some reason I've been thinking about a book I read in the early 90s. It was fantasy, set in 20th Century northern England when it wasn't in another magical realm of some sort. It involved two sisters, one of whom spent a good part of the book trying to find or rescue the other. I remember not liking the book so much as being irritatingly determined to finish the damn thing, but I suspect now I might like it more. Can anyone make a guess as to what book I might be thinking about, based on this vague description, please?

You know, I've been wanting to talk to you about the quality of your posts here. They just aren't providing the kind of enjoyment that I expect Buffistas to deliver to me. I think everyone should really try to take it up a notch.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
And those posts had better be up by 5pm sharp. Or else. I expect some entertainment when I get home from work.

I am an artist! You people can't just demand quality from me!
Pls read and review. If I get five positive comments, I'll keep posting my WIP.

BWAH! Thanks, Hec-- and you know, one of the reasons I wrote that column in the first place was because of an equally stupid comment she'd made elsewhere. I had a bet going that she would be the first to respond and lo, she did not disappoint.
