Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

If I only had a brain...

I thought the haircuts were also a big ol' giveaway?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

They were large men who were so obviously designed to be invisible that in San Francisco, they might as well have been wearing marge Simpson wigs with tiaras spelling out "SECRET SERVICE" in flashing rhinestones.

Haircuts, pale colourless suits, shoes, muscles, eyes looking everywhere and never locking, bulge under arms...

Gah.

And we will call it... "This Land."

re: online crit groups

Got to shout out to my critters at the Other Worlds Writer's Workshop (Yeah, OWWW. It hurts sometimes). It's science fiction and fantasy, though, not mainstream fic. There's also a fantasy/scifi romance group that spun off recently.

Both small groups with required crits/month to keep things moving, both moderated. In case anybody's interested.

Always Anti-fascist!

Or like in White Teeth by Zadie Smith where the Islamic radical group is "KEVIN" and everyone says "We have an acronym problem." I love that book but hate Ms. Smith as she has published a best-seller and she is 26. :)

Comfort yourself with Harriet Dorr, whose first novel, "Stones For Ibarra", was published when she was 74.

I do.

Is that Ursula K. LeGuin's mom? Did she start late as an anthropologist?
