It can be titled This Book Is Not About Goats or Contains No Goats.
Heh. I almost really like this idea.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I figure I'll just tell beta readers, hey, at chapter 16 you might notice this one dude just disappears, it's okay he never existed now. The fact that it won't have any serious effect on the story probably speaks volumes about his necessity.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
No goats were harmed by exclusion from this book.

So basically, every story is set in the world without goats?

In all seriousness, I like the idea of "dark" or "darkness," but, you know, I proposed it, so.
There are a million things we could toss out there, though. Anyone want to throw some ideas out here and we can compile a list?

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm not anti-goat...I just couldn't write about one. But one of my favorite books in the world Even Cowgirls Get The Blues has many in it.

How about a monkey riding a goat?
...for the cover, I mean. Or, y'know, just as an idea in and of itself.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Can we also compile a list of Buffista writers?
There's me, Amy, Jilli, Hec, Deb Grabien, erikaj, Barb, Burrell, Connie Neil, Gud, erinaceous, Miracleman...
Old school Buffista writers are Rio, and I think we had an NYT reporter. Unsure who else is doing writing off the top of my head, but there's that.
Themes could be Buffistas related, like Raising the Stakes, Champions, blah blah television.

Also Knut, right? Or am I misremembering? David something who wrote the superheroes book?
