Buffistas

Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Closed Threads

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."

And this is why I end up getting hooked on reading threads. I read the new stuff, then forget why I came here.

Deb! When's your thing at Book Passage? Is it this weekend? I couldn't find it in Press or Beep Me. It's coming up, right? I'm planning to go and will recruit people to go with me. I think - it depends on when it is.

I'm turning over a new leaf at work, I swear, so I'm signing out and will be back much, much later.

Sorry! I didn't mean to share the misery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went to school with a girl called Novelette.

I think it's the same as a novella.

If I only had a brain...

It's a matter of length. There's almost no place you can sell a novelette nowadays.

SFWA says novelette is "between 7,500 and 17,499 words", novella is " between 17,500 and 39,999 words".

Art Crawl!!!

Is A Scholar of Magics likely to be a sequel to A College of Magics?

I read Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce last night, and found it to be eminently readable.

It was fun, and I liked he characterization. I'll look up more of her books.

I believe it is.

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

Java, it's next Saturday, 20 March - 4:00 pm. I'll be sending out the email later today.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

A Scholar of Magics is about Jane, the best friend of the protagonist in A College of Magics, and takes place after the first book. I haven't started it yet, but I expect it stands independent of the first.

Herding cats for fun

Sorry! I didn't mean to share the misery.

Hee. I changed my earworm to "La Isla Bonita" for some reason. I must be longing for a vacation in Spain.
