'Smile Time'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Jeepers, lisah. That's intense.
I just did a nice 40-minute over the phone talk with the Shrewsbury Library. I think she said there were about ten people there, and they asked good intelligent questions, and we had a ball. It's possible (ya think?) that I talked too much, but luckily, I'm a very entertaining talker.
Who's Kiss Me Jane?
No idea. Never heard of her til I saw the link at Whedonesque.
Allyson, at a quick glance that book seems very different from the one you're trying to write. It calls itself a "resource" guide. Besides, there's room on the shelf!
Allyson, don't be crushed. This may be an okay book, but it definitely won't be the same thing as yours, and yours is funny, and intimate, and touching, and very well-written. And as lisah says, room on the shelf.
Never heard of her
Ditto.
I'm crushed.
Well, since the world will receive her book with a hearty "whatever, I'm dying to read Allyson's book", I'm hoping you can still type in your crushed state. Or, y'know, bounce back.
As the book is meant to be a resource guide, it includes many how-to's on some of these subjects as well as website links.
Not at all similar, Allyson.
And I just have to say that all of those "lie" drabbles are killer. Gutwrenching.
The difference between the two books is that I can't wait to read yours, Allyson, and I could not possibly care less about hers.
Allyson, I don't see how your book could be described as a "how to" guide in the least. It's got more meat and depth to it than that.
There's a short author blurb on that site here: [link] Not very informative.
Also, it looks like she's self-publishing this book; not that that's always a bad thing, but it can be an Ominous Sign.
