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."
Nor is it legal in most US states.
There's always Nevada!
"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).
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.
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.
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.
I went to see Tom Stoppard's 'Arcadia' last night. I can't believe I've never seen or read it before - it's fantastic. Now my head is full of vague philosophical notions. This is something of a distraction for a sociologist, but my previous incarnation as a literature student is thoroughly enjoying it.
