The Mayor ,'End of Days'
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."
But the idea of vampire DJs was interesting.
Hmmm. I may have to look that one up.
Oh, so I enthusiastically recommend Soulless, which comes out in October. Victorian hijinks, vampires, werewolves, and parasols, just like the cover blurb promised. And OH MY GOD, fun. Very very fun. I am planning on writing the author and gleefully fangirling at her.
Do you really want me to go into the rant, or should I just go sulk in front of my two bookcases full of vampire books?
No, no - this is like a political discussion with my family, or a religious discussion with my seedgrove - we all agree AT HIGH VOLUME. Strangers would assume we're thisclose to killing each other.
I was hoping you HADN'T read "Gil's..." so I could spring it on you. I should have known better. You: horror fiction (mostly vampires). Me: Tolkien (and New Weird). I'll remember, eventually.
A demon comes out of her keyboard? No, we'll want something she actually *uses*. Fay, I shit you not.I saved the link for a time, but it made me feel dirty. Because she's got a fanboard of ninnyhammer bobbleheads who agree with her every word on any subject. True story.(and not an Ari Gold "True story" either.) Genre-busting is okay with me, but you better make it worth it.

Which reminds me, have you read "Bloodsucking Fiends" and "You Suck" by Christopher Moore? If not, I'll hand them over the next time I see you.
Have not. Please do! Re-reading Brust's Dragaera novels for the zillionth time is amusing, but not new. It's almost to Tolkien-level memorization. "Oh, page 302 - yeah, I remember that."

I would give you A Look, but then you would pointedly ask how often I've read "Those Who Hunt The Night", and then things would just devolve.
I'm halfway through reading del Toro's "The Strain", and finding it fairly entertaining. I have my suspicions about some things that might turn into big gaping plot holes, but so far it's fun. And making me want to watch Blade 2 again, go figure.
(sighs) Don Ysidro. The only vampire to give Armand a run for his elegant money (and heels!)
If I weren't so pudgy, I'd totally channel their love-child in my Saturday Night Antics each week.

Imagine if erika and I were allowed free rein to make wicked on Ms. Meyer.
Heh.
Heh heh heh...
Stop it, Barb, you'll get me hot and then I won't be able to work all day. But I wouldn't have to travel, just work my impaired way among the fembots in her fanbase. On a more serious note, I really do find her lack of respect for the women writers who came before kind of appalling...we all owe them. Every time we can pick up a pen or a keyboard without somebody wondering if our uterus is going to fall out, it's because they were brave enough to do that before us, and as women writers we should always remember that.(That doesn't mean we have to love their books, but, surprisingly enough from the wiseass, I would argue for a bit more respect from the flavor of the month.)
