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."

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Oh yeah. And from the stories I hear from my Mom really true to the Hollywood of that era. (Secondhand stories she heard. At 87, she is not old enough to have experienced that version of Hollywood first hand. )

If anyone ever writes the Meyer fic, may I contribute some possible final lines.

"He rose from the corpse, shaking off the worst of the gore. Drops of blood shimmered in the moonlight like red glitter."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Well, damn. If I was living in the UK, that would totally have sold me their product.

Good job, my people! Good job!

Jilli! I posted in Natter, but I had my 13 year old (or is she 14 now?) former neighbor over and your book on my table spurred a cool conversation and now I need to get her a copy!

Seriously, it started with defining Goth and moved into the whole teenage stereotyping and cliques and how you can have friends everywhere and don't have to cut people off from being different from what you are. She articulated most of it, and I hope it sticks. She's heading into hard times in a complicated city. Goth & B'more black is a small sector, and if she has friends who identify as such, I just hope I can make her a good friend.

I think that is just the coolest thought ever...I'd love an urban vampire story like that, actually.
